Lesson with and without ICT Integration:
A study conducted by Blanskat, Blamire, Kefala (2006) in
national, international, and European schools
to draw evidence regarding the advantages of ICT in school learning
achievement, it has been found out that
ICT has a positive impact on students’ performances. In
this context, the Ministry of Education, in partnership with colleges of
education is doing all possible to help us instructors understand the
significance of ICT in modern teaching and learning. As a result, as teachers,
we must provide a platform for our pupils to investigate and adapt to the
demands of the environment.
In class VI, I
delivered a lesson on “Diseases Caused by Microorganism.” On the 31st of May, I
taught the topic without incorporating ICT; however, on the 6th of June, after
receiving a video tutorial topic on the same topic, I created a power-point
presentation using ICT and also re-taught the topic as an extended lesson by
downloading a YouTube presentation on the same topic. I discovered that ICT
integration in lessons made a big difference.
So, after teaching the
same topic in two different ways (traditional and ICT-integrated), I'd like to
reflect on the benefits and drawbacks of employing ICT modalities for future
reference. When I compared the traditional way of teachers teaching with hard
copy teaching-learning aids, I could detect a significant difference in the
children's learning. Students were observed to be very active and lively during
the lesson as a result of the ICT integrated teaching. When they watch the
powerpoint presentation on how micro-organism diseases are spread, as well as
a brief video instruction on YouTube, they are blown away. The classroom was
buzzing as students saw a film demonstrating on how micro-organism causes diseases, which was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for them. When activity
instructions were on the screen, I used energizer clips in between the lessons
to break their monotony and boost their learning efficiency. As previously
said, it not only aided in enhancing children's curiosity during teaching, but
it also helped to lessen workload and the hear-talk process.
Despite the numerous
advantages of incorporating ICT into the teaching-learning process, limited
resources, electronic transit from one classroom to another after each session,
and a lack of IT competence are some of the minor problems that I face in
schools. Regardless, I began to believe that ICT plays a critical function in
making our instruction more effective and achievable.
Teaching children using ICT it makes our lesson interesting and children learn a lot.
ReplyDeleteICT helps children learn better but the connection of net should also be strong. 21st century teaching totally depends upon ICT where both need to to do research.
ReplyDeleteI too agree with you sir. ICT integration really enhances the teaching learning process. It also enhances and broaden the interest of the children towards that particular topic.
ReplyDeleteI too would like to support your writeup that the successful integration of ICT in the teaching and learning will depend on the ability of teachers who can use technology appropriately with a pedagogy that develops socially active classroom and encourage co-operative interaction and collaborative learning.
ReplyDeleteby going through your writeup, I came to know that your have done a wonderful job. You have broaden our student's learning and hope you will also share your achievement to us.
ICT enhances learning. The teaching becomes interesting and lively.
ReplyDeleteYes, the use of ICT such as Internet applications, video technology and various computer attachments and software programs have caused many changes in society. Likewise, it has also lots of impact in teaching learning process too. Children learn more with the use of ICT aids and retain the contents for longer duration, whereby producing reasonable results during the quiz, test and examination.
ReplyDeleteyes, you got the right point. i agree with you.
ReplyDeleteWell done sir. You tried to compare traditional method of teaching with ICT interaction in teaching.It seems it went well. Thus, keep it up.
ReplyDeleteAfter reading your blog post, i came to know that with ICT integration in the lesson can be expanded beyond the physical classroom. I also support you that, with integration of ICT in lesson can be offered on line and off line, on sit (at school) and off sit (outside of school).
ReplyDeleteOur blog created by our tutor will make us to connect our students with ICT at least twice or once a month which will definitely help in improve teaching skill and to make innovative teaching. it will also help to retain our teaching.
Thank you so much for sharing very valuable point to us.
Teaching lessons using ICT becomes interesting and lively. When we deliver the lesson with ICT, students retain the concept more by paying more attention.
ReplyDeleteUse of ICT really benefit the learners learn better.
ReplyDeleteTeaching ICT integrated lesson is the most effective tools to meet the demands of 21st century learners. Wonderful lesson sir.
