In this 21^st century, ICT is seen as tools to enable and support teachers in creating more “Learner-Centric” learning environment. ICT integration has greater impact in challenging learner’s understanding and thinking either through whole class discussion and individual / small group work which results in reinforcing of traditional pedagogical practices. The integration of ICT has been widely used by the educationist in delivering the concept and letting the learners search in information and get abreast with information and ideas.

The lesson on collecting and organizing data for class 3 was taught though self created tutorial and power point presentation. Children really enjoyed the lesson as they could feel the reality in such tutorial when they saw my image and the presentation made in the tutorial. They were so exited and they even asked me to play the tutorial for the second time. The presentation was supplemented by PPT on “Collecting and Organizing Data” which made children clear about the concept. The presentation was followed by the whole class activity in collecting the age of each individual and putting them into tally sheet.

Some of the challenges that I came across was, while creating tutorial we need to have basic knowledge on editing videos, and need to be fluent in language while presenting. It took so long to create the tutorial as it was handling for the first time in which I have to delete several clips and re-do the recordings. I felt that one should have skills and hands on experience to use the software.  However, it was a great experience that I ever gained in my life. I can now try out creating such tutorials for other lesson as it was found effective in teaching and learning processes.
