BLOG

We were taught the meaning,its importance and process of making blog.I saw people using blog when i scroll down the Facebook but i didn't have idea about it.when sir first introduced about blog in classroom,i remembered reading Passu Diary's and wangcha sangay's blog. I read some educational blog during my leisure time .I never had idea to create blog and use it . I was excited to learn about blog.After sirs' explanation i came to know that, Blog is a discussion or informational website published on the world web consisting of discrete,often informal diary -style text posts.information are displayed in the displayed in the reverse chronological order,with latest posts appearing first.it is platform where an individual share views on an individual subject.

when i first started using blog i was confused about what to write,how to post though our module tutor shared video on creating weblog .we were asked to post something of about three paragraph,in process i faced difficulties to post on fresh page of my blog.I brainstormed on my topic and planned on visual aids that i would use for my topic.I tried to do it by myself by watching the video and i could post something on my blog.Finally i  could write on my blog and i posted pictures related to the topic for better comprehension.

my first write up on my blog.

Having learned about creating blog and posting on our blog,I think we as a future teacher should be aware of its usage and importance.blogs play a vital role in teaching and students learning too.teacher can post important notes that are not taught in classroom so that students can read and explore more on it.even if we make mistakes,more knowledgeable people will make correction,there is always platform to edit if we think we need to add and make correction.Students doubt can be cleared by commenting on blog and giving response by teachers.there  are many advantages of using blog.

In our ICT module,we are asked to blog at least three to four times in a month on what we learned by using different representations(videos,pictures,song).i could see i am improving in usage of technology,writing,spelling,writing speed  in the  process of writing something on blog .In future ,I will make sure to  use blog in blog for teaching  and help my students to  maintain blog each.

vle

When we were in schools ,there wasnt any ict facilities that would help in our learning.we have to go to libraby for information.Now in this 21st centuary children are exposed to techonology and it help them in their leaening.many changes have happen compared to olden days.Teacher integret ICT to teach students in a way students wants to learn.

Learning resources to given .

After reaching in college,I was introduced to Virtual learning. Environment  .My knowledge on it was limited because it was my first time hearing it. I never knew Vle would be of great useful to me .of the It  simplify the workloads for both teachers and students.We can submit our assignments,teacher can do grade assignments,We can ask and make clearfication of our doubts online,get notes,announcement are seen and we can get question of past years from Vle.  It was officially introduced as a feature of college and all college students have started using since they get into the Paro College of Education.

Select the module to get learning materials.

Discussion is there for students 

 We donot have to go and meet module tutor to ask doubts .we can easily get connected through it.This app is easily accessible and useable to teachers and students in both face-to-face learning environments and fully online environment. This enables to collect assignments and communications in multiple instructional forms like a discussion with module tutors where we can ask our doubts. Teacher can upload materials for reading. also can upload materials and do not have to go in person. Sometime We teacher cannot each everything in the classroom,for more exploration teacher upload videos for better comprehension.

It can be easily used. We can get the information by login into the class by using the username name from anywhere and anytime. It is not compulsory to use from college area,it will work from anywhere.It is easy to use on any mobile device. Mobile access to learning materials that are attractive and easy to interact with is critical in today’s learning environments. VLE has unlimited storage. We can send our assignments through it .it is much cheaaper because we donot have to spent our time and money for printing.When we were in schools, there wasn't Vle .whenever we have assignments  we have to submit in hard copy which was a burden for parents and students too because printing price is expensive.  

If we could use Vle in our school, it would help our learner in learning .for the first time when we introduced Vle in school students may face difficulty but on the process they will learn a lot. TSo teachers must be very welcoming to any new technology to ensure the best learning.  which I found Vle a important learning tool where students will get all information whe they login into it. Students will get all reading materials in the learning using a virtual learning environment.

PowerPoint

I used to be surprised seeing people using power point when they use powerpoint. I was excited to learn how to prepare a presentation using power point. Whenever my teacher uses his laptop and teaches us using power, I used to be active learner because we get to see relevant examples, videos , nd pictures .I could understand better when my teacher taught using pa owerpoint presentation in the class.I use to wonder how it is being prepared.after reaching in Paro college of education when we were in the first year we were introduced to FIT course.The FIT tutor taught us the basic things that we need to know while preparing a presentation in power point. 

Now , upon reaching in the final year we have a ICT module which is helping us in using ICT in the classroom.i learned how to make a PowerPoint presentation, preparing mil merge,  hyperlinkthe documents, using animations, inserting pictures while making PowerPoint. I knew knowing how to about preparing power point presentation would benefit us because during our teaching we can use PowerPoint presentation to teach the concept by showing them pictures and video relevant to the topic. 


While preparing PowerPoint there are important points we need to keep in our mind. we need to keep the principle of preparing PowerPoint in mind and prepare it. for example, if we write everything on the slide the audience will lose interest .

We need to make seven by six rules; the font should be visible from every corner which can be full field by managing proper color contrast and all.
