In my first post I have mentioned about the advantages of using ICT in our teaching and learning processes. Yes! It has good advantages specially with small kids. In one of my lesson with Pre Primary students I was teaching them how to draw 3-D shapes like cone, cylinder, sphere and rectangular prism. I was having a tough time teaching them how to draw especially the rectangular prism. Pre Primary children never understood when I taught them how to draw rectangular prism. I taught them on the board using chalk. I had a really tough time to teach them to draw 3 –D shapes.
I remembered ICT and I goggled it and found one video tutorial on how to draw 3-D shapes. I immediately downloaded the video. In my next class I showed them the tutorial video as shown below on how to draw 3-D shapes. I played the video repeatedly.
Later on I told the children to get ready with a pencil and a book to draw 3-D shapes by watching the tutorial video. After that I let children to draw 3-D shapes. To my surprise I could see children drawing the 3 –D shapes much better than before. I was impressed with their work as shown below
.
ICT made my work easier but as there is a saying every advantage has a disadvantage. Since I didn’t get projector to show my video to my PP kids I had to show them in my laptop. I had a very tough time controlling them since the number of children in my class is more. I had to show them in groups. It took me almost two periods to show my video to them.
Still than I found more advantages than disadvantages so I would prefer using ICT in my upcoming teachings too.

You have done a great job by using ict to give very clear and presice concept through video tutorial. When you show or teach then through ict your children will be enhanced and motivated to a great height. I am pretty sure that your children got the concept clearly through ict as these days our children are native to ict. Therefore I recommend you to use of such kind in the future too!!!
ReplyDeleteThank you sir for your wonderful comments.
DeleteIt is glad to visit your post madam. You have not left any stone unturned to make your children access to the world of ICT. I came to know some of the advantages and disadvantages of using ICT in a large class size. I wish if you have projector in your class.
ReplyDeleteAnyways keep going madam
Thank you sir. Next time i will make sure to get one projector la..
DeleteWow good ideas shared to use ict.I felt that it would have been better if madam had asked OHP from it lab to carry on with the activity.Any ways it was another creative ways of using ICT in the classroom and I also thought that I will try using ICT in that way.
ReplyDeletePlease keep on using ICT in different ways.
Thank you so much . Will definitely try to use in my upcoming lessons la
ReplyDeleteWe teachers as a facilitator could always facilitate our learners with such video tutorial which can enhance their understanding capacity and makes our work easier. So I could say that integration of ICT in our classroom teaching maximize learners out come and minimize teachers work load.. Great job buddy!!!
ReplyDeleteWow your work done can be seen through students work. Its all because of ICT And your child has learnt a lot. Keep going la
ReplyDeleteIn a time-tested logic, it is imperative to explore such relevant teaching strategies to best impart the intended content rather than teaching through the use of traditional textbooks.
ReplyDeleteWow wonderful job mam.I also got the idea how to to teach that particular topic I am about to teach that.Thankyou .
ReplyDeleteWonderful strategy madam. I too was having the same problem with my PP children, but could not think about this idea. You have enlightened me madam. Thank you. Let me too try this out.

ReplyDeleteAs I was teaching the 3D shapes I came across the drawing technique. I was enjoying but this was not there in my particular lesson but was thinking may be I will do it next time and now when I came across your I am pretty sure I need to do be8you had a success story.
Children must have enjoyed learning the easier way to draw otherwise they are actually not very much happy to draw prism and the pyramids.
No matter how much time you spend but see the result at end. Though you have no projector to show the pictures of 3-D shapes you have used other methods to convey the concept. It's good to know that you have used your available resources to teach the concept of 3-D shapes.
ReplyDeleteYou have done a great job by using ict to give very clear and presice concept on 3-D shapes
ReplyDeleteIt is learnt that your students really enjoyed the lesson which is a good sign of improvement in learning.So keep on using ICT in your teaching learning. processes.
ReplyDeleteYou have tried using ICT in teaching your lesson, found your students really enjoyed which is a sign of improvement in learning. Please, keep integrating ICT in teaching your lesson, which is must for 21st century learning.
ReplyDeleteNice to see you using ICT to teach children how to draw 3-D shapes.I too agree with you that children face problem in drawing 3-D shapes specially rectangular prism.You could make children to draw 3-D shapes by watching video which is really great.Keep going.
ReplyDeleteYou have observed the differences between chalk and the ict. Keep exploring and share the findings to improve the quality of teaching.
ReplyDeleteIt wise to see that you are really equipped with use of ict tools in classroom teaching. Also it is sad that you have enable to use projector, as far as my understanding i truely sure that you have really used knowladge of ict smoothly.
ReplyDeleteChildren has drown the 3D shapes authentically and that happened due the usage of the ict. The class management might have much better if you have used the projector as you have mentioned. It happens with us also where is only one projector but users many.
ReplyDeletestudents will really enjoy which is a sign of improvement in learning.
ReplyDeleteI feel ICT makes our work load less if we have the sound knowledge on ICT and it's usage. I can see that you are skilled enough to teach your children with using ICT as your teaching tools. Keep up!
