English through ICT:
ICT based teaching and learning is one of the most important aspects of teaching-learning process particularly in this era of fast and technically advancing technology. Teaching and learning without the use of ICT can be very redundant since it’s the need of the generation. The learners will become inactive and un-participatory without the integration of ICT in the lessons apart from many more.
On 19th October , I taught a lesson on song “ Country Road” to class II using ICT. The facilities used were laptop, internet, phone and camtasia. During the lesson, I tried video camtasia to teach the song. For the activity part I asked my children to write the lyric of the song in their exercise book. Later asked them to send the song and send a video singing the song in the wechat . The students were very active and energetic. They were excited to sing the song using smart phones. The students realized that learning can happen anywhere anytime even in absence of teacher. Children realized that smart phones were not just to call or chat, but can be used for educational purpose.
There are benefits of learning song as they develop speech and language. When children hear the song they are hearing a different range of sounds than they would in normal, everyday speech. They also get chance to practice sounds and words without pressure, no one minds if they make mistakes, and there is no danger of being misunderstood, so they can feel free to give words a go. Its really good to see my students sending the videos through wechat.
To conclude, ICT plays a pivotal role in transforming educational practices. ICT not only helps to translate theory to pragmatic experience, but also makes learning more fun and exciting. To reach the un reach students we went door to door visit to meet our children. Few students had problem with the Google classroom settings so we helped them to fix it. I corrected my students work and asked them to do the correction. I also talked about the teenage pregnancy to the girl students.
