The Use of ICT enhances Teaching and Learning

Use of ICT in teaching has immensely helped the learners to get motivated to carry out the given tasks without any difficulties. On the other hand the workloads of the teachers were drastically reduced and the atmosphere of the class rooms were completely made changes whenever the ICT aids are introduced in the daily teaching and learning purpose.

On 22nd of August, 2019 in the second period, I taught class five maths on the topic dividing four digit numbers by one digit for duration of fifty minutes. The children were asked to brainstorm by providing a question in a group before introducing the topic. Any member from the group was asked to present to the whole class and everybody made a right choice in introducing the topic.

The lesson began by revisiting the previous lesson and explained the difference between dividend, divisor, quotient and the remainder. The video lesson on dividing four digit numbers by one digit number was presented to the whole class and later the children were asked to clear their doubts if any.

After watching the video lesson, the groups were assigned a question each. In the mean time I moved around the class and observed their work. It was found that all the group completed their task on time with correct procedure shown on the video. Few members read the answer to the whole class. In the closure part, I talked on the importance of division in our life by narrating few examples and assigned two division questions as a home work.

I personally feel that whenever we teach any topic it is always better to show video clips and let the children explore them self before the teacher provide the detail explanation. From the lesson, the children have found that division is a skill we use daily as it is an important decision in sharing the expenses either on monthly or daily basis within the family. In school the tasks are divided among the members to have fair and equal justice.

Whenever the task is provided in a group, I must focus more on the weaker children and encourage them to take part equally like other members in a team, so that they are not neglected. Over all the lesson went well but I also need to include few essay questions.
