Day II - 6/7/15
The session began with presentation of 21st century skills and what it means to teach in the 21st century. Due to the development of technology, children are far advanced in using the technology gadgets. Therefore, the way they learn and their needs are changing rapidly. Unlike in the past, teachers were the only sole facilitators of knowledge of learning, but today, children are much better in dealing with the ict technology. They browse various websites to get information. So the the teaching learning is becoming more complex. In order to meet their needs, we need to update ourselves to fulfill the desire of learning in children. This is because teachers are no longer the main source of information.
The session was followed by ICT as Informative tools. To be the user of information, we must know the forms of information that we are looking for. Therefore, the different formats were a great help for me. There formats are; Text files, Audio files, video files, graphics, flash and data files.
The information on Teacher sites was another useful resource. Teacher site is intended to meet the needs of teacher, has resources, lesson plans and other teaching ideas and it enhances our creativity in teaching methods. ICT session in the residence has really helped me a lot. I could use many of the tools which some ICT facilitator of some schools can't. Even some of the teachers who went for IT course in India have problem with the tools and resources that we have learnt. I want to thank our tutor for bringing up the topics and NIE for organising such classes. My knowledge on ICT have been really enhanced and to keep in long run with me, I would use in the teaching learning and share with my my mates at any time.
