In the 21st century, the century of  technology, it’s very important that children get the various exposure in teaching and learning filed, since children’s learning can be very effective and  as well as children’s curiosity towards learning will be aroused. Transition from traditional teaching (where the teacher always use only chalk and board to teach certain lesson ) to using such kind of videos and ICT integrated lesson will be way effective and easier way to teach.

Creation of materials.

For this lesson firstly I have created a PowerPoint presentation where each slides uses the different types of animations and various pictures which would help students to understand my lesson. Then with the use Camtesia, the video editor which is very popular and effective to edit any type of videos, I uploaded my PowerPoint presentation in the camtesia, then I had to record my video and sound according to each slide, edit every part which I had mistaken and then only upload and save as a new video.

The experience was overwhelming, one really needs to really get accustomed using the software to function swiftly.it is a wonderful way to upgrade and turn away from the traditional style of teaching.

Usage of materials.

The video I have created can be used as a full lesson to teach grade five students since it is made in such a way that it has all characteristics of what a good lesson plan consist. This lesson can be taught in situations like what we are facing right now like in times of pandemic where online learning programs have become a popular form of learning in the times of the Covid -19 pandemic. The possible reasons could be due to unprecedented opportunities for people to get easy access to education and moreover there is a shift in paradigm for the educators to deliver the highest quality of education through various online platforms, similarly ICT has various video conferencing platforms, such as zoom, and webEx are being used heavily to conduct teaching and learning. Like wise ICT provides learning management  system like canvas, and Google classroom are also used for teaching.

So, this lesson can be very effective in such times as well as during normal times to arouse the curiosity of the learners.

 1. Define barter system your own words.

2.  What crops do farmers at your village sell for money ?

4. What are some of the things that’s your parents buy using money.
