Reflection on Integrating ICT into Teaching and Learning

ICT Reflection by Rinchen Dema 4PCB

I have learned that integrating ICT into teaching and learning solely depend upon the teacher’s creativity and the way the teacher uses technologies to teach children to make them understand better. After attending the FIT class I came to know that ICT plays a vital role in teaching and learning. Through the use of ICT in the classroom, unlike in the past, there won’t be monotonous teaching and learning rather it will boost up the active participation from the students and also helps in promoting the needs and the skills required in the 21^st century, which is must for all of us.

When I was in school there was no such facility. So, we had a hard time both teachers and learners in terms of teaching and learning. Every time we rely on the teacher because there are the main sources of the information and we always have to depend on our teachers for all kinds of information.

This day's technology has developed so fast and it has got a huge positive and negative impact on teaching and learning. For instance, if we have to look for information, we need not really have to depend on teachers. Instead, we can always browse through the net and get any information we want. This has made very easy for learners to get the information and learn on their own making our teaching and learning much easier.

The use of technologies in the classroom helps both the teachers and learners to break the monotonous teaching and learning session. This day we can always use ppt, video clips, goggle classroom, wechat discussion forum, vle forum and many more, this makes our teaching and learning much interesting, easier to understand the content, more interactive. We need not have to rely on chalk and board to make teaching and learning happen.

Benefits of using technology in classroom:

• Improves engagement

• improves knowledge retention

• encourages collaboration.
