ICT has become very important in the pandemic of COVID_19 as all the lessons to children are rooted through ICT. ICT is very pertinent in the wake of COVID_19 and in fact, it has widened and deepened knowledge and skills of ICT. Despite giving hand on practice, it helped me explore more other means to impart lesson to children through ICT.

This time, I thoroughly utilized we chat, messenger, telegram and Google classroom to reach my lesson to children. From four ICT forums, I used 80% of telegram to deliver my lesson because it is   cost effective to our children.  Moreover, it is easy to deliver the lesson and children’s task. Despite all above ICT lessons, we chat forum has become an easy forum to deliver lesson to lower classes because most of the children in the lower classes are guided by their concerned parents. Most of the tasks of lower classes’ children are uploaded by parents upon the earnest request from the subject teacher.  

ICT lesson has benefited our children in many ways. First of all, through innumerable hand on practice, all our children are liable to use various means of ICT to receive the teaching. Moreover, there is pro in sharing and discuss good ideas among themselves. Some lesson through ICT like Tutorial video provides wider opportunity to repeatedly watch and listen until entirely perceived. By now, our children are confident to handle lesson through ICT and bring efficient changes in learning. Our children are taking worth opportunity to clear their personally through ICT lesson. Now, both teacher and students find comfortable to communicate and clear their doubts at any time. Even parents taking good advantage to communicate teachers on behalf of their children to timely get assigned and submit the task perform by children.

With pro, there are also some disadvantages to reach lesson through ICT. Some children are unavoidably not accessible to net since they have been residing in distant places. The data cost is another challenging factors to children and parents. Some of their task becomes bulky while they are waiting for data source. We have received repeated recommendation that children waste in face book chats and games in lieu of learning lesson.

Despite all the challenges, the lesson delivered through ICT is a new and alternative approach which is pertinent to circumstances that we are demanded now. With ICT tool at my hand, I am fully confident to reach lessons to my children through various means of ICT. Hereafter, if ICT would be the center of approach to deliver the lesson, I am sure that the lesson can be delivered flawlessly at any time.

In the wake of COVID 19, one way it was worthwhile opportunity to deliver lesson through ICT because teaching and learning through ICT happened for the first time opening door to teachers and students to explore the world of ICT.  In fact, some of the children were never known of single online communication but with the practical trial and practice, now they are connected to multitudinous online communication. Irrespective of grade levels, our children are connected to online communication leaving them wider forum to review their own task besides revising the teaching documents shared to them time and again.

The online facilities used for teaching are we chat, messenger, Google classroom and telegram. Some of the online services were handy to our students but some were extremely challenging when users are lacking the usability knowledge and skills. This time, the children were grouped in telegram for pro in data cost.When online services take 100% data; it takes up 40% only.

Like every coin has two faces, online teaching and learning has advantages as well as disadvantages. It saves various resources. Despite saving resources like teaching learning materials, it saves time and energy of the teacher. One teaching note is liable for all the sections through copy and paste. Moreover, lesson plan and teaching materials are not required to prepare and a part of burden is minimized for teacher. While teaching in online, students could easily correspond the answers besides clearing the doubts promptly. Unlike, face to face teaching, every student feels comfortable to clear the doubts clearly. Furthermore, every student could view the task performed by individual friend and use the good ideas into their own work. It eases to manage the student and enhances mode of communication because even a shy and silent student becomes observant and attentive to communicate in this online lesson. Some children who would be dependent in the normal lesson become independent learners when there isn’t nearby friends to do copycat performance. Online lesson provides ample time for students to revisit and revise the lesson taught to them. It was painless for teacher to provide additional task to students.

Since online class is happening for the first time, lesson for first week was most challenging because it was very difficult to connect every individual child. Moreover, remoteness and poverty were another commonness problem to children. Some of parents whose lives were hand to mouth faced utmost difficulty to provide equal concern to their children. One of chaos was not able to make 100% attendance as some students do not constantly connect to online classes with data or net work problem. Some children never up online classes owing to domestic task. Especially, children are deprived of online classes during monsoon seasons because they to help their busying parents on farming work. One of the head aching tasks in online class is assessment part. With different quality of smart phone, students’ piece of task sent for evaluation would not be visible or having technical problems. To evaluate each assigned task is most difficult because it cannot be corrected like pen and paper. While using technology, it consumes more time unnecessarily because giving feedback on every individual takes bountiful time. Online class requires time management skills otherwise students easily procrastinate their and later on it becomes bulky. Thereby, some of task left unattended when teachers are not able to assess every task assigned to them. In such a way, quality of learning is declined. It also burdensome task to parents because parents have to enforce their children attend work despite being costly of data package.
