ICT integrated lesson on weather

 Write up on content based materials

PowerPoint is a presentation program developed by Microsoft. It is included in the standard Office suite along with Microsoft Word. The software allows users to create anything from basic slide shows to complex presentations. PowerPoint is often used to create business presentations, but can also be used for educational or informal purposes. The presentations are comprised of slides, which may contain text, images, and other media, such as audio clips and movies. Sound effects and animated transitions can also be included to add extra appeal to the presentation. However, overusing sound effects and transitions will probably do more to annoy your audience than draw their attention.

How should I use the materials?

I have prepared a lesson on the topic ‘weather’ for grade three from the subject English. The reason for choosing PowerPoint presentation via screen recording is especially useful for the students to run down the slides smoothly with the narration. This material was developed with the aimed that after learning these topic students will be able to tell the names of the weather in any kind of situation by looking outside precisely. I want to use this material throughout the lesson (Lesson introduction, lesson development and lesson closure).

While introducing the lesson, I will screen record the  definition slides with examples and the slides of words related to weather thinking that it will arouse the curiosity of the students by showing pictures of different weather. During the lesson development, I will screen record the slides containing different types of weather with explanation. While conducting the activity, firstly I will record the activity instruction slides and give it to them for their activity. Then only I will let them carry away with their task which I have provided by referring the instructions. lastly, to close the lesson I will let my students to revisit the earlier slides with voice narration and then, ask question if they have doubt.

Instructions for the Creation of the materials

Firstly, I have decided to choose PowerPoint presentation with screen record as main ICT tool to design the materials for teaching and learning. Before preparing the presentation, I planned the presentation by jotting down some keys aspects of presentation. Then, I have prepared a PowerPoint presentation on the topic 'weather' that I will be presenting in the later part step by step in a sequential manner. After completion of designing PowerPoint presentation I have gone through and prepare the slides for screen recording. For the screen recording firstly open camtasia and minimize it. Then open PowerPoint presentation and again minimize it. Then again go to camtasia and click on screen record. After that, I have recorded and edited the video then finally; I have saved it as produce and share which directly converted it into voice narration form.
