I was asked to
substitute class II on 4th of October, 2019 in the third period. I
had no plan prepared for the class as I got the information during the second
period when I was teaching Maths in class five. 
I went to the class empty handed thinking that I will
engage children in reading but it was not the way I thought. I suggested reading
but all most, all the members of the class wanted to watch Rapunzel story as I
have shown the same to other classes few days back. They were few numbers of
picture stories saved in my lap top but on that day I did not take it to
school.
I accepted their request and took the students to the
school computer lab. Firstly, I have shown them how to download the story on
Rapunzal from net through projector. Then, they are asked to form groups and I
asked them to download the stories on Rapunzel from the internet. In groups,
they are asked to watch and read the story that they have downloaded.
The discussion began with question and answer session.
A boy summarized the whole story to the class saying that it was interesting.
Around three to six children have not understood the story and asked the
individual group to share to their members.
To motivate children in learning, it is sometimes useful
to use audio visual kits in daily classroom teaching as children develops their
feeling and love listening to the animals having the conversation. They are
once more asked to look at the story in their group computer.
From the lesson, I came to know that children enjoy watching
or listening to stories. We must create a learning space to groom right from
the beginning. Besides, I found that when students explore themselves through
internet, they find it difficult to get the topic that they are asked to find
out by the teacher and in the process they learn a lot. Though it was time
consuming, I found out a joy in the faces of the children. Today teaching
through ICT has really made the lesson enriching beyond my expectation.

ReplyDeleteYour workdone during a substitute class mean a lot to them as they could read, watch and then also explore using the ICT. Using ICT sometimes bring not to students and this also helps their concentration in the next session. Nice work done la.
Every child wanted different things to learn every day. The main problem here is the resources and materials that equipe the learners daily. You used good idea to engage your children though you had NO proper plan. Your method is one way of engaging our children during absent of other colleagues.
ReplyDeleteFriends,please comment on my reflection la...You all have done in past reflections and anticipating your comments hereafter too...
ReplyDeleteYou did incredible job in your substitute period.Your un planned work went very well providing student room for fiddling computer and also with internet.Then reading and watching the video that they have downloaded.Welldone sir.
ReplyDeleteGood ideas shared to engage children during substitution.Although it was unplanned lesson,it really provided the opportunity for children to explore ict.
ReplyDeleteGood job done sir.keep it up.
You have really done well even with unplanned lesson using ict tools. So it inspired me. I'm make sure to use as example
ReplyDeleteMaking children watch the video is one of the ways to keep engaged in the class. you have use that great idea.
ReplyDeleteYour idea of substituting the class was amazing and seems very interesting. For today's learner we hust need to provide platform such as internet connected computer, laptop or smartphone they would easily pick up. However as you have mentioned in your write up some children didn't understand the story...so to make more clear it would have been better if you could have explained the story in between by pausing the clips.
ReplyDeleteAd-hoc lesson, in fact, went well with the use of such transformational ICT tool. They are truly educative. You did it!
ReplyDeleteI am also thinking to do the same way sir.
ReplyDeleteI know children will love to touch thenlabtops if theybare given an opportunity.
Wow...now they would at least know how to look for things that they want.
They got the basics.
Good idea to make children to download themselves. They got to use internet and search what they need. So keep giving chance to children...good luck
