Reflection on ICT Integration in Teaching

 

Learning is an experiential and practical through ICT integration. ICT integration in teaching different shapes stimulated children’s interest and enthusiasm in learning through self-exploration. They tried themselves with all their ability and trial for the success in learning and development.

The lesson was taught theoretically about the 3 D shapes and nets. I showed a video clip about how the different nets form different 3 D shapes. After that I assigned a classroom activity to identify the nets of 3 D shapes through designing a game by sharing a link. Students were instructed to click the given link: https://turtledairy.com. (Nets of 3D shapes- Geometry Game) and started playing game in pair.

The 3D Nets are wonderful game for young students to learn about 3D shapes and their nets. Nets of a 3D shapes is two-dimensional shape that can make a given 3Dshape.In this game, students have to recognize the shape a given net can make, and the nets that can make a given 3D shapes. The game has superb animations to show how a 3 D shape can be made by its net, and other way round. The game will help students to understand 3D shapes, their nets and the interchange between them very clearly while having a lot of fun. Through game, I could assess immediately and was a quick way of providing compliment on time and feedback timely to improve their level of understanding about the nets and the 3 D shapes.

Integration of ICT in teaching enables students to practically learn about different shapes and nets. Learning was positively effective as they could learn perfectly with the help of internet and ICT facilitation. Thus, students could explore and learn all ideas and implement theoretical teaching into practice.

ICT integration in teaching and learning enhance students’ enthusiasm as they actively participated in learning. Students drew their interest and activated their striving to learn and explore for the betterment. The ICT integrated teaching process stimulates students’ attention for learning and could learn better than normal classroom teaching. They become skillful and mastery over the topic as it provides an opportunity for learners to practice and explore themselves.

Students are from the remote areas and they are facing difficulties in exploring different digital learning system. Moreover, it is the first phase of introducing ICT teaching to students and therefore they are not well skilled in using ICT as planned in the lesson. However, with the constant practice and occasionally incorporating in the lesson step students into the tract of ICT integrated teaching and learning process.

Though ICT integration in teaching enhance students’ better learning and development, lacking of required facilities hindered to incorporate it in the daily lesson. In my school, it doesn’t have sufficient internet connection, projector, and computer desktop. In addition, students are prohibited to use mobile phone and thus it is hard to integrate ICT in teaching learning process. In order to achieve better teaching and learning, school need to have available of desktop, and every classroom need to have a projector each. Internet accession is the most important for learning through self-exploration. Internet plays a vital role in the school to access the students into new learning experiences. Therefore, every school need to have well furnish with digital gadgets with functioning internet connection.
