Hello friends,
This is my second post on my blog. My second
post is about learning activity that I designed using ICT which is a must to
all the 21st century learners. To design this content based
learning materials, I choose class III, mathematic subject which is on
multiplication among four basic operation. To teach about this topic I
integrate PowerPoint as an integral part of the lesson mainly focusing on the
activity.. Since we have different learner preference we have to design the
activities as per individual learning preference so that they will always learn
better. That way I thought integration of ICT fulfill many learners’ learning
preference, By keeping this in mind and objectives of the content I had
prepared a lesson plan using PowerPoint. Through power point we are able to
meet students learning preference as PowerPoint
has multimedia purpose.
To talk about my creation of content based
learning materials, as mentioned earlier, I have used PowerPoint to create the
materials, I chose the topic ‘multiplication’ I downloaded some images from Google to make my materials more
realistic. Through that students can learn better as they might also see these
types of materials in their daily life. Not only have that for visual learning
students they can learn bettered by looking at the images and pictures of the
lesson and also to meet the other learning preference ( auditory and athletics learner) I have added the voice in a video and also given some activities. I also use simple animation like entrance, emphasis and exit so that learners
control their attentions.
Instruction for creating content based materials
and activity are as follow;
·
I choose PowerPoint as
a tool to prepare learning materials as I feel it is more appropriate.
·
Then, I use simple
animations to grab the attention of the learners.
·
I have downloaded some
relevant pictures and images from Google and Pinterest to make activity
attractive.
·
I also write some
notes to give clear understanding about the topic.
·
To do the activity, I
have design some question where students are ask to solve using different
strategies.
· To make myself clear about the lesson, I have also designed materials to conduct a question and answer to check students' understanding.
The activity will be individually and in group. firstly they have to solve few questions individually you have to pause the video look at the questions and try to solve it after that you all are going to solve it in a group (I will group you in groups ) . At the end of the video I have a set of questions for you all. you all can discuss and solve it. you can revisit the method that you are going to solve. You can use video lesson as guide to help while doing activities.
Thank you for going through my content based learning materials that I have developed and I hope you have got some ideas from materials and you will also use the idea of integrating ICT in future for better learning. And I also urge you all to make use of ICT in your daily life as it plays an important role in teaching and learning especially for our younger learners.
Thank
you
