BRIEF PROFILE OF SELF

I joined in KVS in the year 1995, as PRT. The NCF-2005 believes that children are born with capacity and skills to learn language. These inborn capacities grow spontaneously in a positive environment where children are encouraged to speak and write.

“Technology is just a tool. In terms of getting the kids working together and motivating them, the teacher is most important” - Bill Gates – founder of Microsoft

In today’s competitive world every parents wants their child to top the list at any cost and in the bargain the child has to lose his/her childhood pleasures though childhood just comes once in a lifetime. So let’s analyze our education system and find out ways and means to develop a new model system to help the child grow naturally in every positive way. It would be much more beneficial to the society and to the individual certainly.

The teacher can make more things in a class to make the class different one in the school if he/she thinks creatively. The challenge to current educational system for the feature is to prepare learners to participate in a knowledge society. So I teach the entire lesson through activity method. Activity based learning is a child centered method of learning, When the student can learn at their own pace through the activities, they like using different colourful learning cards in a free environment without any compulsion or fear.

In order to create interest in a primary school, the new method of teaching should always be under consideration. So I use Concept map technology for the entire lesson. Through this method they show interest active participation and co-operation.

ICT contributed effectively to pupils’ personal development by encouraging

independent and co-operative working. Pupils worked together at computers. On the whole, pupils were very supportive of one another when using ICT; collaborated well, listened carefully helped one another to solve the problems.

I captured all the activities of the classroom and displayed it. This motivated the children a lot. The photos were edited using window movie maker technology and the same activity was shown to the children in the audio visual room. Children enjoyed their own activities and came forward to participate in all the activities and got interest in the, subjects.

In this way I enhanced ICT knowledge and skills. Using this ICT I made learning much more fun instead of usual boring classes. I made the class more interesting by involving all the children in the class. I used the digital video camera as a part of everyday classroom activity. It increases the motivation to learn, engagement in learning and their independence in learning. As a result, technology has become more integrated into classroom teaching. Students have expressed that they want to use technology and expect it to be part of learning.
