e book as a textbook for students

Use of in the teaching

Date: 20/8/19

Class: VI

Subject: Science

This was second round of using ict in teaching, for the month of August. I planned lesson on class VI science to teach about making “Herbarium”.  Normally students use text books in the class. For a change I did not let students refer the textbook for this particular lesson. I inform them today we will use e- book (soft copy textbook). As a preparation I downloaded the class six science textbook from the REC web.

                              

I went in the classroom with all necessary materials like projector, laptop etc. After reaching the class, I gave instructions to fix the projector   by students themselves properly with precautions.  Moreover operation of laptop had been carried by group of students. Students enjoyed the lesson since it was first time to use textbook in soft copy in their life. They loved reading in the projector. It helped me to correct student on the spot while reading. It saved the time as I need not repeat the instructions since it shown on the screen.

Some students even suggested not bringing their textbook to school and continue to use the text in soft. They even said that it would reduce the bag load carrying the textbook every morning and evening.I informed students since the school had only one projector it’s not possible to use every day. However I promise student, will use ict time to time. In general, the lesson ended successes fully.

Use of ICT in the Teaching as Teaching Learning Materials

It was milestone in the field of teaching to use ict in my class VI science lesson. The topic was on “How Plants Adapt to Specific Habitat”. The main objective of the lesson was differentiating among mesophytes, hydrophytes, xerophytes, epiphytes and lithophytes. State the adaptive characteristics.

In the lesson   I used the ict basically to show the students the examples of each plant groups and show its adaptive features growing in different habitats. Before the lesson I browsed internet, selected best examples and saved in my smart phone. During I explained each group of plants and show pictures save in the smart phone were limited examples were provided in the text book.  It benefited a lot to covey clear information on hydrophytes and epiphytes. Student could differentiate the plant group easily and even relate the example they saw in their locality.

On other hand it saves the time and resources as I need not draw the teaching learning materials. However I took little time while showing the pictures to groups as I used only one phone. The school does not have adequate ICT facilities, it really challenging despite ict have immense impact on teaching learning. Here after I am planning to implement other ways of using ict since it is new attempt.
