 How to use video tutorial in teaching and learning?

 This is Math lesson for the grade one. I made Camtasia video tutorial as an informative tool to make teaching and learning more effective and enjoyable. The video tutorial is made to use during lesson input. Children learn numbers to 20 using counters and will also know counting till number 20. 

Through this video tutorial, we will be able to cater to the needs of different learning style of the individual. Sometime it is good to integrate informative tools in teaching and learning in our lessons rather than following same teaching and learning style every day. By integrating informative tools in teaching and learning, it will boost the energy of the children to learn better. Thus, children will be able to learn with full energy and excitement. As a result they will be able to retain in their mind for longer duration.

 Learning Activity

 Activity instructions:

All the students take out their book after watching the video tutorial.

They will write group A and B in the notebook

They will match the groups

In the given alphabet they will match the correct numerical

Carry activity for 10 minutes.

End activity with cheers.

Select the topic to be taught. (NUMBERS TO 20)

Open power point slid.

Insert empty slid.

Insert a shape or image to keep it as wallpaper.

 English lesson plan for grade PP

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1-l6f107f5QsAeEz6muLShVUBkD7w4jft/view?usp=sharing

I have chosen English subject for class PP children to teach numbers from 1 to 10 and its spelling. I have prepared a simulation lesson on numbers 1 to 10 using Power point since it helps students to construct knowledge. This Power point simulation includes all those multimedia such as text, pictures, GIF and audio which will attract the interest of the children in learning. According to Howard Gardner’s theory of multiple intelligence, children have different learning style. So, simulation could be another ways to teach children about the numbers.

Followings are the procedures to create Power point (Simulation)

1.      Open the Power point and click shape on the insert tab of the Power point.

2.      Add a rectangular shape and extend the rectangular shape to the size of slide.

3.      Insert the images and GIF into the field.

4.      Add animation and transition to make it more effective.

5.      Apply different background color for each slide to make it more attractive.

6.      Then insert text box and write the topic and subject.

7.      Again, add animation to every text so that the text will appear one after another.

8.      Follow the aforementioned steps till the end of the slides.

9.      Finally add video, sound and voice narration to make the content effective.

10.  To add voice narration, go to slide show and click Record Slide Show. When we click Record Slide Show button, there will be two options, select the Start Recording from beginning button. Then the voice narration will be recorded in the slide. 

   11. To add sound and video, go to insert button and  click on video and sound button. Insert video or         sound from their respective area. 

  I have created the simulation using Power point following the aforementioned steps to teach           numbers from 1 to 10 for the children.

   Activity(Number Tracing)

    Activity;    Trace and write the numbers 

  

    Activity Instruction

1. Teacher will provide a worksheet to individual children.

2. Students have to trace and write numbers in the worksheet.

3. After that, teacher will paste the spelling of each numbers on the wall.

4. Let students to write the spelling of each numbers in their notebook.

5. Teacher will collect their worksheet to check whether they are able to trace the numbers well or not. Teacher will give addition worksheet to those children who need improvement.

To make more familiar with the numbers, teacher will show short videos and rhymes to the children.
