2nd ICT lesson

Let me share my views on the 2nd ICT lesson last wedesday.I found that the lesson was fun and interesting as we were given an opportunity to share our past experiences and views about an engaging activity.My group shared the idea of using sweets to build DNA structures.The first activty was like a sharing session whereby we were put into groups to share our experiences with each other.Working in groups allowed me to experience collaborative learning.

After sharing about the activity, we were made to assess the effectiveness of the most engaging activity that we had chosen among our group. By doing this,we realise the strengths and weaknesses of the engaging activity that we had chosen.We also pondered about the ways to improve the activity to make it more engaging.

The third activity was to go online to research more about the dimensions of engaged learning and to individually jote down the roles that teachers, students and ICT play in the dimensions of engaged learning. This activity allowed me to think as a individual unlike the previous two activities which were group oriented.

In conclusion, I felt that the lesson gave me a better understanding on what is meant by an engaging activity and emphasised the importance of using ICT to make lessons more engaging.
