Last Week Blog ......

This is my last blog for ICT. I learned lot in this class. From first day of the class I was worried and little bit scary about all this technology which I have been never used. But after completion of this course I could say I have so many ideas and some good knowledge about technology which I would like to use in my classroom in future. Without technology we could teach the students. But if we have some good and creative ideas and knowledge about technology, so I could connect that with my teaching and that create more interest in learning.

When we use the technology in class, we all know that there so many pros and cons about technology. Sometimes because of more use of technology students never use their creative mind for study and they always try to search the things on google. More use of internet in classroom, that sometimes not grow the mind power. And on other side more use of technology save the time. ICT has become a part and parcel of life. It has become integral part of new era. In online tutoring, the student logs into their tutor through the use of internet at home. The student asks their problem about study to teacher and teacher replies it by writing on smartboard or using document camera.      

There are some other advantages of ICT like, student accept more responsibility for their won learning and its assessment, developing expertise in the process. When we use google classroom and google docs in class that makes easier for assessment. Integrating technology into the classroom is definitely a great way to reach diversity in learning styles. It gives students the chance to interact with their classmates more by encouraging collaboration.

Smart board technology in class is very useful for students as well as for teacher. Smart boards provide new ways for teachers to teach, and student to learn. Visual learners can watch as their tutors use the whiteboards to project visual elements, the boards come with touchscreen capabilities that allow tactile learners to touch and interact with the board. And also audio learners can listen and have discussions. Smart boards allow for integration of various technologies in order to improve the learning experience. It is possible to attach tools such as microscopes, document cameras, and cameras to a whiteboard. There are so many tools in smart board and that are very useful to make quiz, games, some activities, and creative notes for students. We can also upload some video from YouTube for related subject. 

When I taught in college, at that time I never used smart board and technology in my classroom. But I could say that technology in classroom is very useful for teacher as well as for students.

Blog 8.....

              In this week we all are very excited, but with lots work. We have so much assignment for these two weeks. During this week we learned some new things in ICT.

              I never used google classroom in my practicum. In google class I learned about what we can do and how to work on google classroom. I think google classroom is useful in school. Students can attain quiz, they can submit their assignment.

              In this time we have lot technology to use. We just have to check their pros and cons. In classroom if we use more technology then we can save our time and students can learn easily and with interest.

              On other day we worked on e-portfolio and we shared our   e-portfolio with each other. I made my e-portfolio in Weebly. I try to make simple and visual. But I want to play with it more after this term. So I can make my portfolio more perfectly. When we shared our portfolio with each other, at that time I got so many ideas and I cleared my some confusion about Weebly. Wix is also very good and I think more easy compare to Weebly.

               Next week is last week for us. I am very excited for that………. 

Blog 7 for ICT class

Last week in class I enjoyed a lot. Because we watched short film and that was awesome. We tried to put our creativity, ideas, and expressions.

On the first day of the week I learned about mind map. That was my favourite strategy and I always try to use that. But, using some application when we made mind map that was nice. I would like to use that for my lesson plan and for lessons.

Also in that week we discussed about digital literacy and media literacy. We wrote all our thoughts about digital literacy or media literacy on one chart paper.

I also learned about wikispace. We worked in group and that was useful application.

Now we have 2 weeks left. I would like to learn some new things in this weeks….
