Since the country is lockdown and the schools are closed, so all the teachings are done online either in goggle classroom or in wechat. So the ICT integration in teaching and learning plays greater roles in teaching and learning process. ICT integration in lesson provide teachers with integrative teaching methods that motivate students learning, support their independent learning and active participation in the discovery of different concepts and topics, and, as a result, help them have deeper understanding of the concepts.
I started my online class immediately after the school closure to keep my students in track with their learning. I did my online class through the goggle classroom and WeChat forum as informed to the parents and students. At first, it was not easy due to so many obstacles. Some parents own a smartphone where their children can get access to online teaching. On the other hand, few parents do not own a smartphone which deprived their child of online teaching and learning. To those unfortunate children, the school has compiled a list and sent it to the Ministry of Education for the supply of Self Instructional Manual. There were a lot of issues pertaining to online teaching through Google classroom and Wechat. Many of the students did not know how to go on goggle classroom and had to depend on Wechat. Some students have to depend on either father or mother’s phone. As such, some students failed to carry out the assigned activities on time and respond on time because they get access to the phone only when their parents returned home after work.
I had a mathematics lesson with class VI students on “how to calculate the area of a circle”. Since I can’t teach them like I do in classroom teaching so I choose to download videos from YouTube about the topic. I shared the videos through goggle classroom and wechat forum and ask students to watch. Watching videos are much powerful than the teacher lecturing and demonstrating lesson in the classroom. The students learning of concepts and topics are much better through watching videos as they enjoyed and arouse much curiosity to learn through the videos without the teacher’s help.
After watching videos, I assigned them some activities based on above topic (How to calculate the area of a circle). I found that most of the students performed the activity very well. Therefore, with the development of technologies, there are numerous methods in which we can integrate in our teaching so that our learners are equipped with skills and knowledge required for the 21st century even during pandemic situation. Nothing would stop us from teaching and learning if we know how to integrate ICT in teaching and learning.
