How I created my content based learning materials.

Hello to all my reader,

This is my second post on my blog. Today I came up with the learning activity that I designed using ICT which is a must to all of us in this 21^st century.  To design this content based learning materials, I choose class III, English subject where teachers teach about the weather and types of weather. To teach about that topic I integrate PowerPoint as an integral part of the lesson mainly focusing on the activity. In this 21^st century it is important for all the teachers to use ICT as a tool for better learning. Since our learners are in the stages of digital immigration they will always learn better through the use of ICT. By keeping this in mind and objectives of the content I had prepared a lesson plan using PowerPoint. Through power point we are able to meet so many challenges like students learning preference and all as PowerPoint has multimedia purpose.

To share about my creation of content based learning materials, as mentioned earlier, I have used PowerPoint to create the materials as it takes so many roles like gaining attention of the learners, different learning styles and interest of the child. Since I chose my topic as ‘Weather’ I downloaded some images from Google to make my materials more realistic. Through that students can learn better as they might also see these types of materials in their daily life. Not only have that for visual learning students they can learn bettered by looking at the images and pictures of the lesson. I also use simple animation like entrance, emphasis and exit so that learners get more attraction and attention. Moreover I have used hyperlink in part of quiz slides which is going to present during activity and I also installed the applause audio for those students who get correct answers. 

Instruction for creating content based materials and activity are as follow;

·         By looking at the benefits and appropriateness, I choose PowerPoint as a tool to prepare learning materials.

·         After that, I use simple animations to grab the attention of the learners.

·         I downloaded some relevant pictures and images from Google and Facebook to make activity attractive.

·         I also write some important notes to make students clear about the topic.

·         By looking at the advantages of concrete learning, I put some images which are realistic.

·         To do the activity, I put some pictures of different weather and names of different weather, where students will match it by looking at the pictures.

·         To make myself clear about the lesson, I have also designed materials to conduct a quiz. And check students' understanding.

·         To those who got the correct answer, I also downloaded some applause audio from the internet to encourage learners.  

When am I going to use my materials:

The materials that I designed will be use during lesson input and activity. In my materials I have used pictures to gain attention of the child and during activity also I have provided  types of weather pictures where students will have a looked and do the activity accordingly.

How am I going to Use my materials.

firstly, I will introduce lesson topic to the child, and then will let them to guess what they already know about the topic. the materials is designed mainly use during lesson input, where students will visualize the topic and make connection in their life. I will show all the pictures of types of weather so that they can looked at it and tell the characteristics of the particular weather.

Where am I going to use my Materials.

digital learning resources are beneficial and advantageous to the learners. for a Covid- struck situation like current scenario where the contact  teachings are not pragmatic, video tutorials is the best options for delivering the lesson and keep students engaged. it would also cater to the different learners; considering the nine multiple intelligences. it is also an extra useful information to the teachers and teachers would be exploring different ways to use digital resources for delivering effective lesson. so in such situation this materials will help us.

 

Thank you for going through my content based learning materials and I hope you all will integrate ICT in future for better learning. And I also urge you all to make use of ICT in your daily life as it plays an important role in teaching and learning especially for our younger learners. 

                                             Thank you
