2(B). Reflection, negative experience with the ICT for teaching, what are the changes and why?
At the vtcs where I was busy with my teaching practice they only have one projector which is being shared by trades. So this distract me since i have to fix everything in front of trainees to present a lesson of which most of the letters were not so clear visible due to failier in adjustment and connection. There was also disconnect between me and my trainees whereby i have to face the projector and screen instead facing to trainees.
There are changes I will do by dividing them into groups and provide them with group activity to develop a cylindrical pipe template. Therefore, I will advise them to bring their digital camera or cellphone so they record and take pictures when they are busy doing practice. By doing this I am giving each and every trainee opportunity to participate and feel how the real life work is being done. All the records and pictures they have taken we will use them to rectify their mistake and find where to improve in the next lesson. This will obvious enhance trainees learning skills, knowledge, problem solving as well as their thinking skills.
In support, but group work is a difficult strategie to use when you what all the trainees to participate in the task and though chance of supervision is there. The use of a smart cell phone camera is a good move but you will find those without smart phone and it will come a challenging to them, therefore they have to borrow from other and the room of harassing the individual will be invited.
ReplyDeleteI disagree with trainees coming with cellphones to lessons, because it Will bring some confusions, by that you will not get their full attention. Some trainees might just be in their phone without listening to what you have to present.
ReplyDeleteThe world is moving into digital. countries such as German trainees are using their mobile phone even during assessment because their competence is judged on a continuous basis, not traditional way like we do here in Namibia.
