My final ICT integration lesson reflection.

 

My Fourth ICT Integration Lesson Plan

 

Lesson Plan no. 82

Name of teacher: Tobgay       

Name of teacher observer: Mrs. Dechen Wangmo      

Date: 9th November 2021    

 Period: 2nd       

Duration: 50 minutes

Class: IV and V (MGT)       

No. of students in class: 24      

Subject: Science                            

 Topic: Our Moon( the phases of moon in different weeks)

TLM: Projector, Laptop, and Screen

Lesson Objective(s): By the end of the lesson, a child will be able to 

i.     Investigate the shape of the moon based on a four week lunar cycle to name the different     phases of the moon through observations using the internet.

ii.   Describe different phases of the moon through different activities to recognize its    significance in Bhutanese socio-cultural settings.

In the introduction, I used the following order of activities to let the learner investigate the shape of the moon based on four week phases of the moon from the link https://ccnmtl.github.io/astro-simulations/lunar-phase-simulator/. Learners in groups were called in front and fiddle the 3D shape of moon. Before a month of this lesson, I have instructed the learners to observe and take photos of the moon and keep record on a daily basis starting from the new moon for a month. But, it was very disheartening to se only few individuals drew photos of moon.




Lesson Development: In the lesson development, I again projected the link  Moon Phases / Lunar Phases Explained (moonconnection.com) on screen. I explained the phases of moon in a month. Then, I used PowerPoint link to make the lesson more clear to my students by using the link https://www.slideshare.net/cshep22/moon-powerpoint?next_slideshow=1 followed by question and answer discussion. The learner explores and gathers information on a four week cycle of the moon to name its different phases.  The learner writes the names and shapes of the different phases of the moon on the heir drawing in the note book. The learner in teams, compares and discusses the names and shapes of the moon drawn by the individual learner. had thorough discussion whenever felt necessary while projecting the lesson and used question and answer technique in the activity. We discussed what causes day and night, the tilt of the axis, what is rotation, and the time it takes to make a complete round.



Closure: Finally, as a revision of the lesson, I have projected the link https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f4ZHdzl6ZWg and students watched it. To evaluate my lesson, I have instructed the whole class that I will ask individual students to respond to the quiz. I provided clear instructions on how the quiz will be conducted and the award of points for the direct question and indirect questions. Used the link https://kids.playquiz2win.com/class-4/movements-of-the-earth/ and asked individual students to answer the questions. After the conduct of quiz, I thanked the class for learning well and  I have assigned my students to ask elderly people on the significance of different shapes of the moon in Bhutanese socio-cultural settings and records it as home work in their own language.



What went well: I have learnt that when we teach such lessons, it enhances the data and help us deliver right information. Also, ICT has enhanced the mode of communication and experienced learners enjoying the lesson. My lesson was very lively and conducive.

What didn’t go well: My lesson would have been more interesting and enriching if we had enough laptops for each child. The only laptop where my learners were asked to fiddle the #D shape of moon took lots of time.

My fourth ICT integration lesson reflection

My Fourth ICT Integration Lesson Plan

Lesson Plan no. 64

Name of teacher: Tobgay       

Name of teacher observer: Mrs. Dechen Wangmo      

Date: 14th November 2021    

 Period: 3rd       

Duration: 50 minutes

Class: IV and V (MGT)       

No. of students in class: 24      

Subject: Science                            

 Topic: Our Earth 

TLM: Projector, Laptop, and Screen

Lesson Objective(s): By the end of the lesson, a child will be able to 

  1. investigate the effects of the rotation of the earth from the youtube link.
  2. can design a model of the earth and say the effect of rotation of the earth on the occurrence of day and night.

In the introduction, I projected the link https://www.dkfindout.com/uk/space/solar-system/day-and-night/ to build the background foundation of the solar system and revise what learners already knew about the solar system. During the lesson, I asked a few questions like- What is a Solar system? What are there in the solar system? Does the moon have its light? What revolves around the Earth? Then I wrote the topic Earth on Board and said that today we will investigate the effect of rotation of Earth on.




Lesson Development: In the lesson development, I again projected the link  https://youtu.be/hWkKSkI3gkU on screen. We had thorough discussion whenever felt necessary while projecting the lesson and used question and answer technique in the activity. We discussed what causes day and night, the tilt of the axis, what is rotation, and the time it takes to make a complete round.Also to built further experience, I used https://solarsystem.nasa.gov/resources/2393/earth-3d-model/ to let students experience the shape and rotation of 3D shape of Earth.







Closure: Finally, to evaluate my lesson, I have grouped my learners in 4 groups of 6 members each. I provide clear instructions on how the quiz will be conducted and the award of points for the direct question and indirect questions. Used the link https://kids.playquiz2win.com/class-4/movements-of-the-earth/ and carried out the quiz in groups. I have assigned my students to prepare a model of the earth as homework and bring it to the next lesson and they are expected to explain the effects of shape and rotation of the earth using the model.





What went well: Since we couldn’t have contact teaching last year, it was important for me to teach the same lesson using the MGT strategy of whole-class teaching as both the classes can revise and learn new things. I learned that using ICT to teach such topics is very convenient for the teacher to plan the lesson and students can feel through eyes and ears the entire solar system around the earth. Children learn better through ICT. I have achieved the lesson objectives without any doubt.

What didn’t go well: as always, our school location being in remote doesn’t have good internet connectivity, where we have to wait in the middle of lesson for connectivity when connectivity drops. This kills the interest of learners and we have to wait patiently. And whenever I integrate ICT in the lesson for all the components of the lesson, I land up not being able to finish the lesson on time.
