A REFLECTION ON 2.1.4

How was it for you  

• As a teacher, to what extent do you create learning experiences in your classes?

After acquiring some knowledge in ICT integration, i appreciated the fact that feeding the learners with information with out involving them with other activities is out dated. Learners should be encouraged to research, discuss, interacting with teacher, each other. devices and above all reporting or giving of feeding back.  

In my class i normally give tasks to individuals, groups, or the whole class a research content and after,report back the out come to group or class discussion. When discussing normally request the presenter to demonstrate or even give some references if possible.  

I have frequently involved my learners in an open interaction, to speak out their minds on what has taken place. and ever write or ask questions every after a topic. 

I do normally take them out side the class room for some demonstration and real study. for example in Art and craft, it is better to explain how to draw a landscape when the learner is not just imagining. its better some times to tour out for a visual experience or learning.  

• Is there anything you can immediately in your teaching to make your lessons more authentic learning experiences?

One of the thing which i can do is to start employing some of the available devices and materials  which are with in our reach.for example magazines, smart phones, embedded devices, desk tops and etc. 

To use smart boards for demonstration dueto its endless advantages it offers to the user.one of it is that it is programmable, which is one of the advantages of the computer. 

All in all it is better encourage learners to collaborate in groups, since understanding individual is some how not easy.

It is also important to impart in them the culture of accounting for any thing done or reflecting.
