Reflection

Due to the outbreak of Covid 19 pandemic the normal classroom teaching has been stopped. To keep the continuity of teaching learning process, the Ministry of Education initiated E-learning in our education system. It took some time to fully systematize the online teaching in our school. With constant follow up by the Education Officers, Principal and the teachers the online teaching using social media came into effect. Now, the parents and the children are well informed and understood about what is being taught in online. They cooperated well and are sending their assignments using any media that they are comfortable with.

For E-learning to be more effective our school chose WeChat forum for classes PP to III and google classroom for classes IV to VI. We followed prioritized curriculum Key Stage I for classes PP to III to disseminate the lesson. For every lesson, we sent the worksheet provided in the emergency curriculum with clear written and verbal instructions.

On 18^th September 2020 I delivered a lesson on the topic multiplication which was a new topic for class III students.  I downloaded a short video clip on multiplication and sent to the class group chat. I have also sent the explanation with the diagram taken out from the prioritized curriculum. After that, I provided clear verbal and written instructions on how to carry out the activities and when to submit. To my surprise, almost about 90% of the children were able to answer the questions.

After getting their task back I went through it and I was happy almost all the students could solve the problems correctly. Even the children who couldn’t open video clips due to some technical problems could also solve the problems by reading the instructions and description given to them before. Even though it was a new topic, my lesson went very well.

Finally, I would like to say that instead of keeping the children and teachers ideally at home during this very pandemic it is better to keep ourselves engaged in the online teaching learning process. It will facilitate children to inculcate using of mobile effectively in teaching learning instead of playing games.
