Infused ICT skills
For the purpose
of teaching effectively I used my ICT skills learned during my residential class
for my DE. I remembered ICT tutor taught us (DE candidates) how to create
animations for rainfall. A day before my demonstration in the class, I had to
practice few times so, that my lesson didn’t fail.
I took my laptop
in the class whereby children were very eager to see what I was going to teach
or show them. I made them to predict about the lesson. Many of them told me it
would be short video clip. All were equally excited to have my presentation
about creating animation on rainfall.
It would have
been much better had I presented using projector, but school couldn’t afford to
have such facilities. Not even computers for children to explore their own
learning.
The class was
very silent throughout the lesson. All the 24 eyes glued onto my laptop screen.
Many were lost in watching how it was happening. I could hear “Yaala, Yaala” (a
sharchop word to express surprise).
After the
demonstration was made I asked few children to express their interest in ICT. “YES” was their response but without computers
made them “NO” to ICT.
