THE SWEET SPOT.

The lesson was about sources of renewable and non-renewable energy. 

The learners where grouped into groups of 5 and where to use the laptops connected to internet and then open some web pages research the sources of renewable and non-renewable energy.  They also had to use the Google earth use research to search the areas around their school in addition to this they had to play video clips showing the sources of energy.

Feedback:

From the observation, comments from the students. It is a lesson I as a teacher and the students will never forget for it was such a lesson that made the students feel like the lesson should not stop. They enjoyed so much much using the computers and finding the information on their own.  And as the lesson was going on I could see every learner trying to see something new.  They were able to put their work in PowerPoint and presented it to the whole class. Only two groups managed to present because of time but still the objective was achieved.

 Student’s comments

I asked the class to comment on the lesson and almost everyone in class wanted to say something but I chose only two.

One called Sserebe Abbas, “I have enjoyed the lesson very much, using the computer and researching to find the information has been very interesting.  I feel I can ever forget what I have learnt today in this lesson. Let us always study like this he concluded and everybody in class shouted yes yes.
  

The second student called Namwanje Fatuma also appreciated the way the lesson was handled and said she enjoyed discovering things on their own and that she was amazed by the content which is on the web. The teacher never told us how we had to find information and how to write down a document but we have been able to find the write pages on the web and the software to present our work. 

So the lesson I have learnt as a teacher from this approach is that if technology  is used correctly, will help prepare students for their future careers, which will inevitably include the use of wireless technology and  Integrating technology into the classroom is definitely a great way to reach diversity in learning styles.
