LEARNING PARTS OF BODY WITH
INTERACTIVE POWERPOINT.
Are
you tired of delivering the same old lecture on the same subjects year after
year? Are you using the same lesson materials over and over and wishing you
could make learning in your classroom more interactive? While lectures and
lessons can be informative and even “edutaining” when delivered with passion
and good materials by knowledgeable experts. But technology is integrated to
learn that particular lesson it brings sense of fun and engagement to students
lessons. Of course, you do need devices with internet access to give these
tools a try. Even if you don’t have computers or tablets available in your
classroom, the fact that an in this modern world every students have
smartphones where it engages them to access every information on websites. The
education landscape in Bhutan and globally is undergoing a major
transformation. The pandemic has provided an opportunity for teachers and
students on using technology integrated learning has transformed education
systems. Thus, I created one lesson integrating technology using PowerPoint
where videos, interactive quizzes and audios are used to teach the lesson.
Topic:
Naming the body parts
Class:
I
Lesson Objectives: By the end of the lesson, each child will be able to:
- identify and name parts of the body correctly
- describe the picture appropriately.
- write the parts of the body correctly.
- follow the instruction carefully.
Procedure
of lesson to learn
Introduction: Depending
on what our learner already know, introduce basic vocabulary for parts of body
by indicating different parts of our own body and getting learners to copy. I
will only introduce the basic parts like head, shoulder, knees, toes, eyes,
ears, mouth and nose by presenting the PowerPoint where I created manipulative
of labeling of parts of body by the names of parts of body when I proceed my
presentation.
Activity:
·
Give learner the activity sheet to label.
·
Play the song of parts of body. Ask
learners to listen and touch each part of their body when they hear it in the
song. After the song, practice some of the lines together, touching the
relevant part of body as you say it.
·
Play the song again and encourage learners
to sing along to the lines practiced.
·
Now ask learner to answer the quiz
question prepared in PowerPoint presentation. Before they start, brainstorm
them.
·
When they have finished, learners can
label their skeleton and write about it by doing some research either asking
elders or through phones at home.
·
In next class display the labeled parts of
body of each learners and allow learners time to look at and read about each
other’s write-up.
Worksheet
Recently,
we stumbled across a pretty amazing features of PowerPoint- the ability to
create awesome videos in next to no time. Videos can really help deliver
messages in an interesting and engaging way, and in fraction of time the lesson
can be delivered.
- The
first step is I created PowerPoint slides. It was a great idea to structure our video
with title, body and concluding slides.
- I added images, text in slides to deliver the content. I made some simulation to drag the name of parts of body to point towards parts of body.
- I used video in one of my slide to switch up my audience’s focus where student are required to sing together with video.
- I wanted to involve learners, so I added question and answer session by creating quiz and riddles.
- I also added some audio narrative where I don’t have to speak the entire time. In fact, sometimes it can be nice to give ourselves a break and pre-record some of our slides. This is also a great strategy to include for embedded presentation.
- I made simple transitions and animations in my slides so that I keep consistency and not to distract my learners.
Using of app called “BODY PART” can
also help learner to learn more about parts of body.
It has more features to learn about parts of body and
both teacher and learner can use this simple app to learn easily about parts of
body. This app has interactive activity as well as teaching tools to learn
about parts of body.
