Integration of ICT in my English lesson(blends)
Learning with enthusiasm not only make lesson easier
but also understandable and fun. Introduction of ICT in our Bhutanese
Curriculum has not only eased teachers’ workload but also made teachers teach
creatively. Children seem to enjoy school and show keen to learn with
excitement every day.
Beginning this year, most of the schools in the nation has been provided with ICT facilities as teaching ICT has now become a major subject. Teachers have already begun taking ICT lesson in full swing. And more importantly, the ICT integration in the lesson has become a regular ritual nowadays.
On 9th August, I have prepared a lesson
on the topic,’ Teaching blending’ to grade two children. Using the available
facilities, the lesson was focused on to teach children listen to an original
letter sounds spoken by the native speakers and also to enhance children’s
ability to blend letters to make a words or pronounce it correctly.
Children were first shown how to browse net practically following teacher’s steps and later they were shown a video. Interestingly, it was exciting to see children grossly enjoying and significantly participating in the lesson. There was different mood and environment created as children were willingly doing activities with full zeal. It was quite surprising to see even children who seldom talk have become talkative suddenly. I have come to an understanding that more of such lessons should be done if ever I wanted a success.
Although, lesson was going as I have desired yet few
of the children were struggling especially in typing as they were not mush use
to it, moreover, since it's first time handling computer, they seems to be hesitating fiddling with it.
I have observed that children were satisfied,
contended and happy as they exited the ICT room. There were hardly any
disciplinary issues. Integrating ICT in a lesson looks to be a solution to many
issues a teacher faces.
