Reflection on ICT integration on Teaching and Learning
This video has been posted in We Chat forum for the children to learn.
As we all know that integrating ICT in the classroom teaching has become necessity in today's contemporary world. Actually every school in the world are all trying to integrate ICT in the curriculum. Similarly in our country too is trying out to integrate ICT in both adapted and prioritized curriculum. ICT has played a very pivotal role especially this time of pandemic circumstances whereby children are asked to learn online through different telecommunication.
Now to begin with my August month teaching analysis, currently I am teaching Class PP-III in one of the remote schools in Zhemgang. I teach Dzongkha and Mathematics. Since from the time of school closure i have been teaching my children using ICT. I use the social media apps called We chat because most of the parents in my place use this apps. Whatever lesson I delivered, I deliver through this app most of the time.Even I use this apps for video sharing.
But the main challenges that i found was many a times I could not connect to some children. When I tried to contact with them, sometime they said that they didn't have data balance. Sometime the parents took their phone when they went for work. Sometimes they said there was no proper network for downloading their activities worksheet and videos. Despite all these hassles, yet I found integrating ICT in delivering the lesson most interesting and enjoyable.
As the idea of online teaching was very new to both teacher and students, at first we found bit strange. Now children getting used to it. They send their completed work through We Chat and I correct and assess. then i send them the activity back to them. Sometimes I make them read online in We Chat. Children are taking active participation in the lesson. I found most of the parents are also concerned and cooperate with their students. Even as a farmer, i found them guiding and molding their children at home.
For evidences of my teaching I have uploaded some video and pictures of my teaching.
