Finishing this lesson on the constructivist model of teaching and learning, and the use of ICT-based constructive tools, I got an extremely exciting experience for me. It not only improved my understanding of the way in which students learn knowledge but also gave me practical skills and methods that I can use in my future career as a teacher.
The constructivist approach place importance on active learning, where students are not just a mare receivers of information but active participants in constructing their own knowledge and ides. I have learned that this approach encourages exploration, collaboration, and creativity, all of which are very crucial in fostering meaningful learning.
One of the best aspects of the lesson was discovering how ICT can support various teaching methods. Packages such as Microsoft Word, PowerPoint, spreadsheets, Publisher, concept map packages such as C-map, and even social networking websites offer endless means of structuring interesting and interactive learning materials. I explored various tools and even get to know the exciting feature of every tools and this made me interested in the sessions.
Creating digital resources such as video lessons, interactive worksheets, and basic simulations was another valuable aspect of this lesson. Through the utilization of software such as Windows Movie Maker and Camtasia, I was capable of producing my own instructional videos, which I now understand as a very valuable resource for helping students both in and outside the classroom. Such resources enable differentiated instruction, allowing students to learn at their own rates and review content if necessary.
In the future, I will make sure that I use all that I have learned in this module. In my future teaching career, I would like to design lessons that give students the chance to explore topics in depth, work with others, and present their learning by creatively using ICT tools. I will encourage students to use software like PowerPoint to present projects, spreadsheets to examine data, and, more importantly, I will use Camtasia to engage students in quizzes. I also intend to employ video tutorials and interactive worksheets on a regular basis in teaching to facilitate learning and make it enjoyable for all students.
Overall, the lesson on enriching and I really enjoyed as I were introduced to various interesting tools and I will make sure that those tools were deployed in my future teaching career.
