exploring from the net

To go with the topic, the class used the smartphones. All the phones were connected to the internet. The class was divided into six groups of four members. Each group was provided with a smart phone. We discussed on protection of forest which was taught in previous class and to make connection to what they will learn next i gave  a set of questions each in group which i prepared earlier. The teaching was focused on student centered learning whereby students are instructed to explore from the net. 

sharing and clearing doubts on group chat( class v)

With world of smart phones, even infants know how to use it. But rules and regulation doesn't allow our students to use phones in the school.

On 16^th September I gave my students to design some posters about the preservation of the forest, social studies class IV.   So, I borrowed smart phones from my colleagues and gave them in group.   They were immensely excited and interested to carry out the assigned activity. They went outside, sat in group and start to browse in Google. The students designed beautiful and informative posters. We had a fruitful session and further I will do the same in the future.

The use of internet is the easiest and the fruitful source to look for what we need. On top of that it is very important to encourage the students to use the net to browse the information, instead of games.
