This week's e-learning activity highlighted to me 3 main issues. Firstly, preparatory work is an important aspect to the smooth implementation of a lesson. As a teacher, you should also foresee the problems that are coming. That is where all the interventions come in to serve its purpose.
I realized that we are to be practical in the amount of work that we give for a lesson, be it a normal or an ICT lesson.
One issue that has been highlighted is the importance of giving out precise and concise instructions. With a clear objective to the lesson, students will be performing a task with purpose, instead of taking it as just another meaningless assignment.
Instructional worksheets and simple guiding worksheets can be prepared to help guide students to do the assignment in an orderly manner, especially when it comes to technical issues for the ICT tool.
Learning from the scenarios, it seems that when it comes to technical issues, pre-emptive measures such as seeking the help of a technical assistant and/or a more senior teacher is always a good measure to be taken to ensure that the lesson can continue even if there are technical issues.
Lastly, when using an ICT tool, you must at least know the functions needed for that assignment. It will always be better that you have mastered the tool so that you will show confidence in delivering the lesson. Knowing the tool also helps and enables us to troubleshoot simple technical problems.
