5. What support do you need?
1) How do you like to utilize ICT knowledge gained here?
We try to create everything good in our school environment to support our ICT implementation. Why implementing, because in my school we didn’t access to ICT main device, Computers. We used Radio only. So our environment at there was not at all supporting. So before just felling into well to teach ICT and get discouraged at the very first movement, I don’t want that to happen. So first I create the necessity there, in our high officials, HM, staff, people and students.
Regarding utilizing, I follow a planned rule, where it start from introduction of every technological things in students world. From there I gradually lead them to the higher level of technical and communicational components.
Radio as a base, for example. It is best and cheapest thing to be interacted first, with out the use of much bigger appliances requiring power, establishment, lab etc. First I clear the basic concepts and lead them to the track.
2) What new ways you would like to use in your institution?
Yes, use new ways apart from old system. Because teaching ICT is much different from teaching other subjects. Students must have a much systematized thinking, application way of thinking. I rely much on Actions done by them, rather than textual question answer method. One thing which I required to be concentrated is practical oriented lessons and applying these learnt lesson in their surrounding environment.
3) What constraints do you foresee in the next six months?
Next six months which is our next gap to meet and to discuss where we are. Actually it is the duration, which tells us are we did right, is everything went as planned, are we did in actual way it was taught and many things to be get evaluated.
Regarding constraints which I foresee, I can say about the failure of my plan to apply ICT in many ways.
Lack of support from staff
No availability of Computer and its peripherals
No allotment of time specially for it
4) How do you plan to overcome these constraints?
Yes, I need to plan to overcome these type of constraints. Constraints are common in every field. I already started using ICT in my teaching scenario from the day I appointed. I basically use my mobile to lead them towards big communicative thing right now in the world. I taught them from the verbal and nonverbal communication from different activities, and these activities become a part of my teaching years of experimentation.
I usually like freedom to teach, as a teacher I have the responsibility what to give, and what not to give to my students. What is most important for them to lead life in this computer age, I try make them aware of them, so early that they cant feel uncomfortable in future.
For example, I usually teach science, as I am a science teacher, but I also taught English also. So it become easy to communicate with students, as I know their perception level as language teacher, and concept level as science teacher. Use fight against the constraints, I use my teaching experiences at most. And plan myself in a different way, like approaching higher authorities to make them aware of what troubles me against a good cause.
I convince them regarding my intention and importance of ICT. If they not convinced, I didn’t bother about them, because I am the classroom teacher, I do what I want. Regarding use of other ICT equipments, right now I planned many of them are available in my surroundings. I own a PC at my home, but its difficult to bring it to the school, but I can borrow Laptops, LCDs, mobiles with further facilities than mine, gadgets, new softwares, television, simputer, radio and many more.
So make a plan to overcome these constraints I a different way, since they are basical problems of every school. Since school teaching went I a bad way, added with unscientifically planned Policies, documentation, meaningless training programmes.
If we are not suppose to teach what we want a teacher, it is the greatest failure a state can experience in future. But who wants future happenings? But still hope is there. What ever the problems, my experimentation and facilitation of my students regarding swift changing world has come from 6 years and it goes on.
5) What support do you need?
Yes, I need support. I need support to keep my subject teaching in tact. To get rid of other things which come in the way, from staff, parents etc. I need support economically since sometimes it needs money to maintain. Why I am giving this as an example, I say, what our government given computers in CALC first project, all are not working. Although the PCs are ok, UPS in every school are not working. And there is no responsibility taker in our education department, to make it work anyhow. Aimed to see these centers goes on working what ever the problem arises. We need official support, who can keep us in safe mode, always.
We need ICT things as Computer and its peripherals, additional things such as lab with power facility and a handsome time allotted at the beginning of the timetable preparation.
We expect regular visit and checking of our work by our official in humble way. I need our staff stand behind me to bring this change, and they communicate with the parents. And any one of them, who can lead if I get transferred from there, or else when I am absent. Because what ever the problem the work must go on.
About internet connection, I not need it now. Because right now we have to teach computer and all ICT instruments in a very logical, systematized manner. Why because, what ever the changed goes in this field, if child doesn’t knows about basics, he fells every movement. So basic knowledge, principles and actions I need to imply in initial months. Then sure I want internet to show them the wonderful world and guide them to communicated with the world.
