Reflection
Online teaching and learning has been the most sought after platform globally after hit by Covid-19 pandemic. It has been in practice in many of the countries besides formal classroom setting. However, it is very new to our education system though minimal teaching through ICT have been taking place in various capacity but not solely online.
Despite all, teaching and learning had to continue through various applications and commonly and ensuring equity. Thus, for pre-primary class, teaching often takes place through short tutorials, video and audio and graphic organizer and picture cues suitable for young learners.
This time the pre-primary lesson was on phonic sound, specifically targeting only first five sounds. In the introduction, to let children predict, posted two letter sounds (phonic) to start interaction between teacher and students in the forum and ensure effective discussion on the upcoming topic, which is synchronous in nature. Both teacher and students are on same page at same time engaged in interacting content.
Synchronous interaction
Introduce the main content of the lesson. Post video on phonics. Students repeatedly watch and practice phonics
Student Activity: Assess phonics sound from video clips
Feedback based on findings
Asynchronous interaction on the content when children post their work and furnish verbal and written feedback.
