Looking for information in the YouTube

Second blog for October, 2019

Using YouTube for the information!

I taught a lesson on Zed’s Bread. It is a text for grade three students. This books talks about a boy who loves to bake bread.

Text -Class 3

We read the book together discussing every detail of the book. 

Reading through the line

We talked in length about the likes and dislike of eating bread. I had to talk when a bread is eaten since many of my students come from villages where bread is eaten as snacks. Some of my students were amused how bread is baked. We shared how breads can be eaten in different ways. All students wanted to try baking bread in the class but since we were lacking resources for the process, we dismissed the idea of baking.

Instead we came up with the idea of watching other bake bread and cake on YouTube. Children were divided into smaller groups. They were given 10 minutes each to watch a baking process and take notes on it. They reported what they watched on YouTube. 

Instruction for the activities:

1. Go to Google

2. Type YouTube

3. Type" How to bake a cake?"

4. Watch the video 

5. Take note of all the ingredients

6. Report to the class

Children now want to bake a cake for themselves. We are planning for a baking class next week.

Note* Look for our baking report update in my next blog.

First Post of October

1st post of October-Reflection on my teaching

Teaching is the process of attending to people’s needs, experiences and feelings, and intervening so that they learn particular things, and go beyond the given. According to the definition, we as a educator need to cater to every children to learn better. Teacher need to equip children to cope up with different learning approaches. Hence, I have taught my children to get extra information about the topic they are learning from the net. 

I gave my children to use my computer. Children took turns to use it to find information they were asked to find.

Instruction Given:
1. Go to Google

2. Write "long I sound words" and enter

 


3. Read the words given on the page.

4. Cope few interesting words to share to your class.

Reading the information 

With this type of opportunity, children learns a lot. First, they learnt how to handle the computer. Typing was another experience, and they were so amazed to see the information displayed after they typed their question. 
Each group were given enough time to explore and learn by themselves. My children really enjoyed the activity and they want to have such activities in their next class. I am planning to create such plans in the future for more learning for my children.
