The COVID 19 pandemic has affected the students learning were lessons are taught online. Only the higher classes from IX to XII  are taking the normal class as usual. For the lower classes from PP to VII are teaching through online. This time I taught class II English on the topic "Domestic Animals". I used WeChat apps to to deliver the lesson. I explained the lesson through short video clips. students watched the video clips and they were actively engaged in the activity. All the students were able to complete their work successfully. My lesson objectives are fulfilled. 

 

Most of the parents support or help  their children while doing the activity. But there are some problems that we face while teaching lesson  through online. Some parents don't have smart phone ,there  is network problems  in some places. For those students who don't have smart phone, I went to their homes  and taught the lesson. ICT play important role in 21st century teaching and learning. It helps students to develop knowledge and skills.

ICT is becoming important in our daily lives and in our educational system. The use of ICT in the classroom is very important for providing opportunities for students to learn. The integration of ICT into teaching and learning environment provides more opportunities for teachers and students to work better in a globalized world.  The use of ICT in schools is crucial for the development of economic and social change worldwide.

ICT has profound impact on how teachers teach and students learn. The usage of ICT into classroom instructions is a more practical, interactive and innovative. It provides opportunities to stimulate learning and increase motivation that enables teachers and students to interact productively with neighboring communities and global economy in a wider and higher scope. In homes and schools, ICT are widely seen as enhancing learning. There is immense potential for teachers and students to harness the power of ICT to improve the quality of teaching and learning in the classroom.

The COVID-19 pandemic has affected the students' learning were lessons are delivered online. Online teaching has become critical strategy to impart lesson to the students. The teachers delivered the lesson discussion and explanation with the students, sending video clips or pictures relevant to the topics. This time also I used WeChat apps to deliver the lesson. I taught English lesson to class I students on the topic using of words This, These, That and Those. I explained the lesson through short video clip.

My lesson went well that all the students could complete the activities on time. Their work was corrected and send back to them. But some of the students don't have smart phone and they couldn't do the activities. Only 80 percent of the students have smart phone and completed their activities on time. They are supported by their parents to complete their work. 20 percent of students don't have smart phone and they couldn't do the activities. These are some problems that I faced while teaching the lesson through online classes( WeChat). The ICT play important role in 21st century teaching and learning. It's powerful instrument that enables practical environment and assists new ways of teaching and learning. It helps students to develop knowledge and skills for cooperation, communication and problem solving. Teachers are implementers and need to learn and apply new technologies into their classroom instructions.

ICT Reflection

ICT integration into teaching and learning provides students different opportunities to make learning more effective, fun and enjoyable. It can encourage a more active participation in the learning process. In this 21^st century, ICT is seen as tools to enable and support teachers in creating more “learner centered” learning environment. It is found to be creative and motivated for teachers and students.

 During this COVID-19 Pandemic we cannot teach through the real classroom. But we can use different apps like WeChat, WhatsApp’s, Telegram, google classroom and Gmail to teach the students. Most of the time I use WeChat apps to deliver the lesson to   the students. I taught English lesson for grade I students on the topic fruits. To arouse the student’s interest I explained the lesson through short video clip.

Students watched the video clip and they were actively engaged in the activity. The lesson went effectively that all the students were able to complete the activity on time. Their work was corrected and send back through the WeChat.   The follow-up activity was given to name the fruits through voice message. All the students were able to name the fruits correctly. They were able to respond correctly through the voice messages.

Some of the challenges that I faced while teaching through WeChat are that there is network problem in my place. Some of the parents have smart phone. When I teach the lesson those parents give quick response through WeChat and support their children. Other challenge is that most of the parents don’t have smart phone that’s why effective teaching and learning is not taking place. I am helpless to those students who don’t have smart phone. I couldn’t deliver lesson to them.

ICT as a communicative tools.
