Reflection on ICT integrated lesson for November month, 2021

Lesson information 

It was on 9th November, I taught lesson on two types of bar graphs (horizontal bar graph and vertical bar graph) to class III students. This lesson was a new topic for the mathematics class. I just made class to recollect what they did in their previous lesson or what they learnt in their earlier classes that are related with data collection lesson to connect with the day’s lesson. Then, I wrote the day’s lesson topic on the board (Two types of bar graph). I first explain the two broad types of bar graph. Horizontal bar graph represents data variables using proportional horizontal bar that are often used to represent comparison between nominal variables and vertical bar graph is also known as column graph that mostly represents the numerical values of data information against to the proportional to the quantities that they represent. In order to make my class livelier and more interactive I made class to watch short video clip on two broad types of bar graph.

            After they finished watching video clip on types of bar graph, I again asked questions to check their understanding from the video lesson. I even made few volunteers to share their understanding from the video lesson to connect with the day’s lesson. After information collection from few volunteers, I displayed the topic through power point slides.

 I explained two types of bar graph with an example displayed on the power point slide. I even explained what and where to write the title, numbers and names also how to write number scales. Once they all are clear with types of bar graph and the levels, I made class to draw two types of bar graph following the data given below.

Merits of ICT integrated lesson

Out of numerous advantages of using ICT integrated lesson, ICTs can enhance the quality of education in several ways. One can be like ICT integrated lesson increases learners’ motivation and engagement actively throughout the lesson enforcing learners to learn through exploration. ICT lesson aids learners to acquire of basic skills to use transformational tools which when used appropriately, can promote the shift to a learner-centered environment unlike conventional method of teaching. ICT integrated lesson also builds communication gap, reduce time consumption, bridging information input gap where children communicate more and faster with ICT integrated lesson because it’s much faster to communicate and grab information from various sources.

De-merits of ICT integrated lesson

Every advantage has its own disadvantages, in general there are always some key issues and challenges found to be significant in using ICT tools by both students and teachers. Some problems could be with limited accessibility and network connection, limited technical support, lack of effective training, limited time and lack of teachers' competency. One of the common major problems could be lack of genuine software, inadequate computer in the school computer laboratory, low speed internet, lack of motivation from both teacher and student side to use ICT, lack of proper training skills, unavailability of latest ICT equipment, lack of expert technical staff, poor administrative support, poor course and resources.

 Future Improvements

For the future improvement and betterment of ICT integrated lesson to enhance the quality of teaching and learning, teachers have to always increase learners’ motivation and active participation in their daily learning activities. Teacher have to facilitate the acquisition of basic skills in using ICT to all children and also by enhancing proper training to all teachers in using latest method of using ICT in our daily teaching. In order to make proper use of ICT in our teaching and learning we have to develop proper planning right from the beginning with specific objectives in our block plan. There is widespread belief that ICTs can and will empower both teachers and learners transforming teaching and learning processes from being highly teacher-dominated to student-centered.
