lesson through wechat
In this blog, I am going
to share my past lesson with my students. Since I am teaching class PP maths
only I could not integrate ICT with them. So I am sharing here what I did last
year with my class VI students.
In school, homework is
one of the things that students hate the most. Not all but most of them
don’t like homework and always forget to do so. Even if they wanted to do it,
they forget about it when they reach home. It is also one of the most challenging
parts for the teachers too. Homework is a part of the curriculum and we teachers
give our students homework so that they learn and study the lesson learned in
the class at school hours but the students don’t want them.
It was challenging for
me to make all my students do homework. I taught class 6, section ‘A’ &
‘B’, I gave them homework but they all always used to give a deaf ear to
homework and didn’t do it. I tried various methods to make them do homework, I
even went to the extent of beating them but nothing worked. I was at the verge
of giving up on them, suddenly an idea clicked into my mind. Then in the
PT-meeting I made a WeChat group with ID of my students’ parents. Then
whenever I gave them homework, I reminded them through the WeChat group
through their parents and made sure they all do their homework on time. After
using that method which is a form of ICT, all of my students started doing
their homework and homework completion rate was always 100% from that on.Moreover, when the examinations
were nearing, I thought of giving my students to solve some of the past
question papers as a revision and practice but the number of the student was too
large. I possibly couldn’t give each of them a copy of the questions. So I clicked
the picture of the question papers and sent it in the WeChat group. From there,
the students copied the questions and would bring to the class and we would
discuss and solve the questions. Due to that, we could revise the whole syllabus
and my students performed incredibly better than other sections.
Using ICT to teach is a very helpful and reliable method of teaching in this fast-growing, developing the twenty-first century. We should all develop the habit of using ICT as an aid in
our teaching, changing the age-old method of teaching and going with the time
for the better of both our students and us.
Wow!!! Nice work and wehat has really helped us to impart education to our children with the help.of their parents as it is very common with almost all the parents. You can also create wechat group with your present class and remind their parents about their study at school and any other matter that happen in the school. These days any ICT tools plays vital role role provided we use them properly with clear cut instructions. Good initiatives
ReplyDeleteThank you for your comments, yes sir we have wechat group with pp kids parents also...with small kids it just helps to share informations and ofcourse leave application 😊
DeleteNice reflection of the lesson taught and involvement of parents in doing their homework. It is a great idea and I would like to go for with your idea too.
ReplyDeleteYou have done it in a wonderful ways. I would also like to try your way with the homework.
ReplyDeleteGive a try sir it really works
ReplyDeleteIt was an enriching activity.involving parents with student work is really fantastic.keep moving
ReplyDeleteVery innovative way mam.
ReplyDeleteIt sounded tha your lesson had really worked.
I would also like to try once.
Wechat is other alternatives where we can engage our children and we can join too. It's good to know that you acheived your goals of doing homework. I also used this tool for my children. Keep it up.
ReplyDeleteIts a great idea you have come up with, which I find very informative and enriching. Keep it up!Keep exploring more ideas in future too.
ReplyDeleteYes I agree with you. Creating WeChat group have been an effective way to deciminate information from school to home. As we always say , every coin has two sides, it also have an negative effect. I have seen my niece doing her homework using WeChat. They dont solve or discuss the solution of the problem, instead they sent copies to each other and just copy. So how are we going to deal with this?
ReplyDeleteYou have done a great work madam. Even I have found that sharing information through we-chat is better than other medias.
ReplyDeleteEven I am doing the same thing with my students. Maximum usage is there comparing to other ICT tools.
Great madam, keep it up.
Good idea, so long as it is used effectively and appropriately.
ReplyDeleteChildren and parents could get involved in discussion which perhaps would make the discussion fruitful.
Actually, its a great idea that you have come up and displayed here with madam.
ReplyDeleteI found it very informative and enriching for both the teacher and learners. Even I use this frequently and I find it very user friendly and seen easily accessible.
Keep it up!Keep exploring more ideas in future and continue using it.
You have been integrating Ict in your lesson in the past before getting into this project.You have the experience and your Wechat idea was great idea la...
ReplyDeleteIt is nice to hear that you are using wechat as a main mode of discussion forum to complete students' work at home. For small children, involvement of parents in teaching and learning is very important. It is a great idea and I would like to go for with your idea too in future.
