My last class in ICT

On 5/6/2018, we closed our ICT session by learning how to make the quiz using wonder share. In the course of five months being in the ICT class, I have learned so many things of which I was unaware before. It made me into an advance person to teach to students.

The tools that we learned were all relevant to teaching and learning settings. So I thoroughly enjoyed the class. We were given hands-on experiences. The assignments were all effective as it was all to do with the use of ICT.

For the first time, when I enter the ICT class, my mind was full of doubts and questions like what I will be learning. I was curious as well because ICT teaching and learning was something I was new to the concept of ICT.

But after being in the class, I came to learn all the new discoveries that i was unaware before. gradually, my questions and doubt were all cleared.  Moreover, the making of the lesson plan using PhET simulations was totally new to me. For the first time, I was heard of the PhET simulation and my curiosity aroused to learn that Apps.

I have learned a lot by attending this module ICT for teaching and learning under the guidance of Mr. Thinley Phuntsho. It was very beneficial we as trainee teachers as it all teaches on how to go about the teaching with the integration of ICT in learning classroom.

I am very much lucky as this module was offered to us. I personally developed new skills how to go about the new device or the technologies.

It was an effective module I must say and I am very much grateful to the college and personally to sir for guiding us on the right track when we were in lost. Finally, my new sets of feeling after completion of this module is like I knew the whole world. 

Thank you

My feeling on wndershare

In today’s class, we learned on making the quiz using Wonder share apps. It was a new Apps that I learned today. I found it very effective as there are lots of advantages using this App. Last time, we learned how to create the quiz with the use of Camtasia but it wasn’t really effective for me as an individual because it takes time to make and publish it. In Camtasia, we need the internet connection to preview our quiz which I personally found not really effective. But coming to wonder share, I liked this App because of following reasons:

It is very simple and effective.

It makes the work easier as there are options given to make the quiz.

The facilities given in wonder share are all relevant as a teacher.

It will make teaching and the learning engaging.

The assessment or result will be display without an error.

It makes teacher’s work easier.

Now, I have installed this App on my desktop and it will be easy for me to make quiz whenever I want to make. As all the required steps were given by sir and it will be very helpful when we are placed in schools. In schools, there are lots of literary activities carrying out. Here, I can apply this little on making the quiz using wonder share to have an effective quiz competition.

Thank you, sir,

Creativity Show (Third year student teachers)

Every 3^rd year student teacher must take a module called creative arts. This module is designed to introduce students to Creative Arts (Music, Art, and Drama) in an early education and care context. ... It will enable students to develop the knowledge and skills needed to facilitate creative workshops in an early year setting.

 At the end of the semester, the student teacher must present a show consisting varieties of items. In the last evening show, there were English dances, solo songs, rhymes, traditional songs, fun dance, and drama. The show was lively and informative indeed and it was worth watching.

This module will focus on developing the theoretical and practical knowledge and skills, acquired in the introduction to Creative Arts module. In the Art component, there will be a major, independent project in 3D by each student, from design to execution.

This will culminate in a public exhibition of the work. In the Drama component, the students will be introduced to the skills, techniques, and principles needed for devising, rehearsing and producing a performance piece for a young audience. In the music, the component performs complex melodic and rhythmic patterns through the use of the singing voice and percussion instruments (tuned and untuned.)

It helps students to learn through hands-on experience. And help a different learner in learning.

In Bhutan, water transportation is not applicable as Bhutan has fast flowing rivers. The force of water is too high and flows in a narrow valley which makes the water transportation not possible.
