Reflection on ICT integrated lesson for September month, 2021

Lesson information

It was on 14^th September, I used one of my ICT integrated lessons to teach class III students on how to develop short and simple paragraph using the questionnaire or by students themselves in my English lesson. This lesson took almost a week to full fill my set objectives as most of the student come from literally backward family. ICT integration in our teaching lesson develops or improves engagement of students actively throughout the whole lesson and also students can understand and retain content knowledge for longer period as we know and remember better what we learn or do things by seeing and doing. 

This is because children of today’s world are more inclined towards technology where they look for different opportunities to make it more fun and enjoyable in their daily learning and learning things in different ways alerts physically and mentally. Before my actual lesson I made class to watch short video clip on how to develop or write short and simple paragraph of their own. All students were very much attracted by the video clip and found active participation by all the students compared to the lesson without ICT integration. Then, I started to teach my real content of the lesson by presenting power point slides to explain and make them clearer with what they have seen in the video clip and to make connection with lesson activity. Prior the lesson activity, whole class was made clear with the content information by displaying the set of examples as depicted below.

My Parents

My parents are loving parents. My father works in the office. He goes to his office daily. My mother is a house wife. She is very kind and helps me in washing my school uniform and packing lunch every day. Sometimes go for a picnic with my parents. I also study and play with my father when my father is free from his office work. My parents are very much caring to me and I am very much lucky to have such parents. I love them so much and wish to live with them throughout my life.

After my presentation using projector I realize more active participation from students’ part thus, integration of information and communication technology (ICT) in our lesson motivates learners to access more information, promote interaction and communication, and enhance digital literacy skills at a very young age of schooling. Both teachers and students become aware that the effective teaching and learning become successful learning activities when there is active participation in learning as learners develop a set of skills necessary to carry out lesson alone and in collaboration with others and in their own professional learning. Students were made to develop paragraph base on the given questionnaire and finally one from every were made to report to the whole class. In this way students will be able to support their friends in raising awareness of the importance of integrating technology, tackling obstacles that might currently hinder effective integration of ICT in their learning contex

Merits of ICT integrated lesson

        Both teachers and students will find learning livelier and more educative by using available ICT tools and open educational resources for language teaching and learning that become aware of their needs in terms of continual professional development and learning. It is also important that the use of ICT is introduced and supported in a sustainable way and in a range of pedagogical approaches that promote lifelong learning due to change of curriculum and the education system.

 De-merits of ICT integrated lesson

Every advantage has disadvantages and Just like any other technology, ICT too has certain limitations and restrictions in using in our lesson teaching.  While most of the teachers teach students by integrating ICT in the lesson there are always challenges to overcome. Challenges like Misleading and misguiding information from irrelevant sources. And there is big danger that learners will totally forget our traditional method of learning and inclined towards ICT world losing the whole essences our rich culture and tradition. Sometimes integrating ICT in the lesson results in time consumption due to power fluctuation and poor internet facilities during learning through exploration.

 Future Improvements

Due to the fact that students are familiar with technology and they will learn better within technology-based environment, the issue of ICT integration in schools, specifically in the classroom is vital. This is because, the use of technology in education contributes a lot in the pedagogical aspects in which the application of ICT will lead to effective learning with the help and supports from ICT element. In addition, ICT provides the help and complementary supports for both teachers and students where it involves effective learning with the help of the computers to serve the purpose of learning.
