Dear friends
I have been trying many times to update information, but due to poor net coverage in Khotokha Primary School, i couldn't do so. Today i came to attain Dzongkhag Education Conference in Bajo. The town is access to 3G net facilities. Its a great opportunity for me to update information in my blog.

Thanks you

Journal on project work carried in the module.

ICT in Education has now became one of the backbone of education in this 21st century teaching pedagogy. Knowing the fact, I have decided to take this module, and enhance my knowledge in this area. This was a great advantage to me. I could keep an abreast of ICT knowledge which has benefited me in my day to day teachings and in managerial field as the principal.
The following are the topics that I have had carried out the projects which took me trough to world of ICT:

1. Use of Google   to conduct survey on any field.
This is one of the project topics which I found very interesting and informative. Here I could design the questions and share these questions in the url/link. Doing so, one can learn and get new insights, which at the end benefits students.
Therefore, I commit to continue using this knowledge and share my ideas and knowledge, and also learn from others through Google.

2. To search Ten useful Educational websites.

Well, the another scholarly project I have carried out is on the a fore mentioned topic. Conducting project on this activity, was very useful to me as a teacher. I knew how to look for educational information and download it and use in my classroom daily teachings.
However, I faced some hick ups due to the poor internet connectivity, while I was carrying out this project work. Yet I have learned a lot from this assignment, and I will continue to carry these knowledge through out my teaching carrier.

3. Create interactive Flash-based quiz using Wodershare Quiz Creater.

This is the project work assigned for groups to create 20 different questions with animated images, flash movies and sound effect.
We put our heart and soul into this project, contacting amongst ourselves through phones and social media, like wechat and facebook.  However, we could not make this project a quality one due to poor internet connectivity, lack of knowledge on wondershare and group members' geographical locations.
Any ways, whatever little I have had learned from this project, I am using this knowledge  to share some information with my fellow teachers across the country. It also helps while I conduct quiz in the school.
Thus, I commit to use this knowledge through out my career or beyond.

4. Use of Camtesia 6.
It is the software which we can use for creating short video clips. And these clips we can use in our classroom teachings.
In this project we were asked to create video tutorial of 15 minutes. It was great project indeed. However, we encountered lot of difficulties due to poor internet connectivity. We had a taught time to upload the clips in the vle. Some how we managed to upload it in the vle.
Despite challenges and hardship we faced, we also learned many great ideas from this project. It helped me to create video clips, and now I can use this clips and teach in the class. This idea can be used in the school, even the teacher is out of station. But the teacher must create a lesson using camtesia 6. It will also help teachers reflect on their teaching after going through the clips that he or she has created, and improve own ways of teaching, which at last benefit our children in the school.

So, ICT in education module was timely and appropriate to a novice teacher like me in the field of ICT.
Hence, I commit to keep in taught it in all times to come.

THANKS

The  ICT stands for Information communication technology. It came to our country in 21^st century. It made the task and communication very easy. Moreover it is used my the government and privet offices in our country as the means of the communication, to save and create the documents and many more. As samtse collage of education offers the ICT education as the optional module to Bed (primary) in eight sinister. I choose this module to keep myself updated with the modern technology (ICT world).

Our tutor said the people born before the ICT can  be called as ICT immegrents and the people born in 21 century and after can be called as ICT natives. The ICT natives people can learn ICT as they grow to be adult. It would be difficult for the ICT immegrent to lead a life with the ICT world if you do not update onself. Thus I being the immegrents I took ICT education module. I learned many from this module and now I am equipped with ICT knowledge to at list deal with the ICT natives and ICT world. My second notion of taking ICT, I as the administrator I always found difficult to keep myself updated with modern times. Mover I need to improve my communication skills. This ICT is the most important thing for the communication skills I found to be used in the administration work. I learned Ms word, excel, power points along with internet, Google and its application is the best thing I learned from this module.

To further improve my knowledge I would go for the computer programming and graphics. I will also take intrest in Photoshops and video editing. I aslo would like to take ICT as my optional subject when I possess my masters in education.

Internet was very slow in my place here at khothokha. When and ever I went to wangdue I updated my Blogs and goggle drives.

I have added some of  friends to my blogs  I also made links to my blogs. These link can help any body who browse my blogs to get quick access to the important webs. Beyond blogs I use we chart and face-book.

ICT was very difficult module for me only by my location of work place. otherwise it was a very interesting subject

life became very challenging with ICT. I being in remote school i fine very difficult to grow together
with ICT.
