IMPORTANCE OF ICT IN THE CLASS
School was closed due to first Covid -19 case on 5th of March 2020. For two weeks we waited for the school to start but till now we couldn't start the school but we are doing on line teaching. As I teach class II English I use wechat as the means of teaching and learning. ICT in education improves engagement and knowledge retention. When ICT is integrated into the lessons, students become more engaged in their works. This is because technology provides different opportunities to make it more fun and enjoyable in terms of teaching the same things in different ways.
ICT promotes learner engagement as learners choose what to learn at their own pace and work on real life situations problems as our country is facing now. Its really helpful and children are kept engaged in their work of learning.On 3rd August I taught syllable, so I used phone to give the works in the wechat. I clicked the image of the syllables with examples and taught.Through video taught the syllables with the examples. Children were asked to write the spelling for given pictures and count the syallables.
In second activity children are asked to read the words in the boxes. Count the syllable(s) and write in their notebook. Explained about how to go about in the voice message.
After students finished their work let them post their work in the personal wechat and gave comments according to their work. If they made mistake let them rewrite and post again.ICT is the pillars for learning. It can improve the quality of human life because it can be used as learning and education media.As our country is locked down we use various means of media to get connected to our children.
