Integration of ICT in a classroom teaching.

 

 

ICT (Information and communication Technology)

Teaching practice with ICT plays a very important part in the development of student ICT capability throughout the integration of ICT in the curriculum. However, for teachers, it is all about taking responsibility for the use of ICT in the classroom and their professional growth.

 

The Importance of Reflection in Teaching

  

* Regularly evaluate their approaches to teaching and learning.  

* Understand more about the positive impacts of high-quality effective pedagogies on children’s learning. 

* Become more aware of the importance of high-quality interactions, including strategic intervention and substantive conversations to maximize children’s learning. 

* Use action research approaches — e.g. drawing on alternative teaching strategies to help children to learn when familiar methods fail.  

* Co-construct learning with children and other partners so it is responsive to the child’s family and community. 

* It is important that teachers do reflect on practices and take the appropriate steps to improve them. These teaching strategies for the classroom can help you go a long way in ensuring that outcomes are learned by students.  

* As teachers, you should encourage students to reflect critically and evaluate their own work with ICT, so too must teachers. 

* It must involve determining which parts of the lesson went well and which ones were less successful. From here, they can make adjustments and plan for better lessons accordingly. 

* For this to occur, they need to look deeper into the practices ask the questions as to why a particular approach was a success or failure. 

* For judgments here to be made, evidence such as the following in relation to classroom activity needs to be taken into account:

* Lesson plans and schemes of work. 

* Comments from observing teachers. 

* A diary of classroom activity.

* The results of students’ class and homework and. 

* The results of examinations.
