Reflection

Globally, educational systems are adopting new technologies to integrate ICT  in the teaching and learning process, to prepare the students with the knowledge and skills they need in their subject matter. In this way, the teaching profession is evolving from teacher-centered to student-centered learning environments. “ICT integration is understood as the usage of technology seamlessly for educational processes like transacting curricular content and students working on technology to do authentic tasks” (Kainth and Kaura). ICT facilitates not only the delivery of lessons but also the learning process itself.

 Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, 2020 has been an extraordinary year for all of us and one that will go down in history for sure. We the teachers and the students had to experience the unexpected online teaching that we had never imagined, especially with the children with pre-primary students. The students were very new to the environment and had just started with their pre-writing activities with the new academic year and to add fuel to the fire, the school got closed down. The education got interrupted this year. Although we were confronted by unforeseen challenges, we the teachers have been outstanding in performing our services to our students. At such situations we were able to use the ICT knowledge to the fullest that we have learnt during our winter program. In the process both the students and teachers got opportunities to learn and enhance our ICT knowledge. We also got opportunities to explore and learn the new teaching and learning strategies. 

This time I have uploaded the videos on comparison (size, length and height). I sent the video clips for the topics given above. Then asked the students to watch the video clips and practice saying the sentences. Later I asked the students to complete the activities given in their workbook. Most of the children were able to follow the instructions correctly given in the videos and could complete the activity (workbook ‘A’ page number 29,30,31,32 and 33) correctly which made me satisfied as I was able to fulfill my set objectives. We all are aware that the children love colouring pictures. As they take lot of interest in colouring the pictures, the children were able to complete and submit their work on time. The work submitted by the students were neatly coloured and showed progress in their work.

Initially a few students were not able to participate in e-learning mainly due to their WeChat app weren’t working or due to their mobile problems. I later added them personally and did follow up one by one. Gradually, all of them co-operated and 100% participation of students was achieved. Henceforth, I will continue with the same teaching strategies. I will also continue rendering support and guidance in completing their work and to continue having 100% participation of students for e-learning.
