                    Reflection

The use of Information and Communication Technology has been mandatory in this 21st century teaching and learning. ICT has increased so rapidly that we can no longer ignore them especially, the teachers in the school. ICT have really influenced our lives in one way or the other. These days, we see ICT being used to perform several functions that have made our life much easy. It has a significant impact on modern society. When ICT is integrated into lessons, students become more engaged in their work. It provides different opportunities for children to learn through fun and enjoyable in terms of teaching the same things in different ways. With the implementation of New Normal Curriculum, the integration of ICT has increased in teaching and learning. I use ICT to teach children through video tutorial from the link provided, search and explore for the information from Google, provide works like home work, projects, assessment (short test) through LMS (Learning Management System). I use ICT to provide information and discuss about the children’s work and improvement with parents through various media like WeChat, messenger and telegram. ICT helps teachers, students and parents to come together.

 

It was on 5th August, 2021, I taught a lesson on “Blending and Segmenting-consonant blends” to the children of grade two, through YouTube video clip link Phonics Kids 4B Unit 2 | Consonant Blends | “l" Blends | bl cl fl gl pl | - YouTube . I found children were very active, attentive and engrossed watching the video clip. Children were made to repeat the sounds and reading. They listed the words by listening to the sounds and words. Children repeated and practiced the blending and segmenting of two consonant. After the lesson, I noticed that many children were able to speak out the sound clearly without much help. I was just monitoring; I found many children were really enjoying the lesson.

As the follow up activity, I asked individual child to read the words in sound one by one and recorded the check list. I found 90 percent of the children could achieve the objectives and few failed. I thought it could be due to the different multiple-intelligent of learning.

After the lesson, I realized that I was not too tired as I used to. Integration of ICT minimized the workload of teacher as we don’t have to shout and repeat, which was done by the computer.

Beside every successful story, there will be unsuccessful too. Likewise, we all know that NNC is ICT integrated syllabus. And it is definite that it will improve the standard of teaching and learning for teachers and students. The present scenario of my school is really pathetic, every teacher has to book the ICT laboratory, junior ICT laboratory and projector hand before due to many sections. Teachers are loaded with lap tops and speaker. Many teachers have to cancel and change the teaching strategy from ICT integration to the olden style because of challenges due to the shortage of computers and sometimes net problem in our school. We have 16 computers shared by senior students (Classes VII to X) and the junior groups (PP to VI) have to share one LCD screen, 55 inches. We hardly get the opportunities. Any way it is somehow supporting our needs. Further for the fully integration of ICT in teaching and learning, I heard that our government is working and let’s hope and pray for the successful achievement of the mission, vision and goals of the Education of Bhutan.
