ICT integrated lesson for grade I

 Hello viewers. 

So I will be writing on the blog for the second time and this time I am writing a kind of reflection on content-based materials which I have designed to teach class I students integrating PowerPoint. The topic that I have chosen this time is  “Preposition”  from grade l. 

To tell where a noun is, or when it is happening, we use prepositions. Place Prepositions Use these prepositions to describe where a noun is: under, on, in, inside, over, at, under.

My main objectives includes :

 1.Define what does preposition means. 

2.Write at least 3 to 4 examples of preposition after my explanation.

3.Use preposition in daily lives.( real-life application).                                                    

 

The lesson that I chose can be taught to students using  Information and Communications Technology (ICT) which gone through innovations and transformed our society that has totally changed the way people think, work, and live. 

Creation of materials 

Now, let me introduce you all to my creation of materials. For my creation of materials, I have used PowerPoint as teaching and learning tools, since power point  can be effective tool to present material in the class room and encourage student learning, it’s easy for students to keep information in their minds if they learn things by using visual tools. It increases memory capacity of the mind. It helps students remember the information for a long time.

  I have created PowerPoint in such a way that it can attract my learners attention . I also have used various animations and colors in my presentation so that I can attract children’s attention. 

For teaching preposition I have used various pictures to make my lesson effective one. 

For every Preposition I have described the content well using the PowerPoint presentation and animations. 

I have even converted my PowerPoint presentation into a video.

 

Usage of the materials 

 

This PowerPoint presentation can be used in lesson development, since it has all the prepositions described well, we can use it for lesson development.

Also as a video, we can use this for the conclusion of our lesson with a video which will help the students to have a meaningful, engaging and interesting conclusion.

Activity

For your activity I would like you all to fill in the blanks with appropriate prepositions that I have provided below.

Teaching 2D shapes using ICT

ICT integration in lower Primary classroom

Topic; 2D shapes 

Class: 1

Lesson objectives:

By the end of the lesson each child will be able to,

1- Name 2D shapes correctly after the discussion. 

2- Draw at least three to four 2D shapes correctly after teachers explanation.

3- Describe at least two properties of 2D shapes correctly after the discussion.

The everyday lesson where only the teacher teaches with a chalk and duster is not always fun, for teaching to be effective the teacher need to integrate various forms of teaching, using ICT can be one of the best way to teach the students about any topic, so today i am going to blog on how ICT can be used to teach grade one students about the topic 2D shapes.

Schools use a diverse set of ICT tools to communicate, create, disseminate, store, and manage information. In some contexts, ICT has also become integral to the teaching learning interaction, through such approaches as replacing chalkboards with interactive digital whiteboards, using students own smartphones or other devices for learning during class time, and the “flipped classroom” model where students watch lectures at home on the computer and use classroom time for more interactive exercises.

When teachers are digitally literate and trained to use ICT, these approaches can lead to higher order thinking skills, provide creative and individualized options for students to express their understandings, and leave students better prepared to deal with ongoing technological change in society and the workplace.

Creation of the material

To teach about 2D shapes for grade 1 students, I have used PowerPoint presentation have used an animated video with each shape’s description so that it would be effective, as children are young, they are interested in learning through  ICT ,and then  the student’s learning interest would also increase, making them to understand the lesson well, as well as they can remember the concept for a long time.

 It would be of a great lesson for visual learners as they can see the shapes in the power point presentation.

I have made a short power point presentation where I have described each shapes with its characteristics well explained.

I also turned the presentation into a video.

Usage of the materials 

This presentation can be used to introduce the topic of 2D shapes, the teacher can show the video and then go into the lesson development, since the video has a lot of content idea it can also be used in lesson development.

This very presentation can also be used to teach the students with special needs such as visually impaired students or students with autism since I have used various colors and audio, which will help such impaired students. For those students with visual impairment I can use the audio to deliver my lesson and for those students with autism I can use various colors to teach each shape effectively.

 

Activity.

Name of activity: identifying of the shapes

For the activity, I will divide the children in groups, providing them with plastic scissors, papers and glue and a chart paper, for this activity I will paste a chart with names of shapes written on it ,ask my students to firstly read the shapes that I have taught in order and then paste a paper on the board with the shape names written, ask them to cut the A4 size papers with drawn shapes according to the list I give.
