Introducing ICT in the lesson

Activity using ICT tool

For the past few weeks we had been introduced to ICT as a module. After taking all these classes we had been introduced to different ways and means of using ICT in the classroom setting. Anyone asking this module especially the teachers is way more beneficial than the normal classes that we take. Although we had been introduced to this module most of us would not be aware of its benefits. This module has been talking about all the types of ICT tools we as a teacher can use to make our teaching more understandable and also accessible not only to the classroom but also to the other parts of the world.

Having introduced to all the type of tools we were asked to prepare an activity using one of the tools. We had to choose an activity from one of subjects from grades three till six. I decided to choose a science subject of grade five and the topic was "Connection in series." What i liked about this topic is that there was a simulation for this topic. The website for this simulation was

I personally found this tool a lot more relevant than the things we had been doing in the past. First it not only stimulates their cognitive thinking but it also integrates ICT in the learning.

The children would get to experience learning in a whole different way. They get to learn not only about the type of series but also get to do a lot of interesting activities. Learning is diverse and they also learn a lot of technical terms using that simulation. There are a variety of options for the students, if they want to learn about the flow f current, or want to do experiment using different objects its all easily accessible. There would be a lot of earning taking place through single topic.

Unlike the experiments we had been doing when we were in our fifth grade there wasn't much freedom in doing so. Everything was limited, the equipment and the experience and everything we did was solely reliable to the teacher. But now these ICT tools have been a kind of blessing in disguise for both the teacher and the students. It would not only save the time but also would make a very safe environment for the learning. I believe that the students would learn better using simulation as one of the tools in teaching "Connection in series" topic. Not only this, there are a variety of simulation we as a teacher can use to make learning more relevant and meaningful.
