ICT FOR ENHANCING READING

Date: 20/09/2019

Class: I

Subject: English

Time: 40 minutes

Topic: The Elephant’s Trunk

Teaching learning materials: Laptop and Projector

To teach this particular lesson I prepared power presentation. I inserted all pictures and scripts exactly as prescribed in the text. During normal teaching of text we provide the text to students in pair and carry out three stages of reading. Through the use of ICT I could carry out the two reading stages before and while reading more effectively.

Topic prediction and picture walk were able to carry out very easily since pictures were presented vividly on the screen. All the students could observe the pictures on story together at the same time and make prediction, what will happen in next scene of the story.

On other hand it save time and completed story within a period. Many a time students face difficult to read every words and sentences while reading. It was similar like using a big book to teach a text where all students use a single book for reading. It really helps to teach unfamiliar words in the text using visual cues.  The entire lesson went smoothly as students participated with utmost enthusiasm since it was first ICT lesson.

Class: vi
subject : Science
Time ; 40 minutes
 Topic; Photosynthesis
Teaching learning materials: Projector, laptop

Over the past year I  have observe  teachers facing difficult  to teach the concept of photosynthesis. Moreover   I too found challenging to convey information hand   this particular topic , photosynthesis.  I thought the use of ICT would be more effective to teach the topic.

For this lesson I used the picture animation of the how plants prepare their own food using carbon dioxide water and sun light. Students were able to understand how carbon dioxide from atmosphere diffuses into the leaves and water absorbed by the roots. The song on photosynthesis played to them really enjoyed the students.

Used of ICT in classroom is found time consuming and challenging, however if things are properly plan in advance, use of ICT is the most effect tool in teaching.
