WEEKLY REFLECTION
(Third semester)
28/6/16 – 01/07/16
As per the
B. Ed curriculum our third semester teaching practice for forty days started on
28th June 2016. I got G. H. S.S, Koickal or my internship programme.
Maths option trainees Shabna and Mubeena and English option trainee Soorya were
there with me. I got class IX A for teaching. The concerned teacher assigned me
to take unit I and II. As a B. Ed trainee, the school experience was a new
experience for me. I started the first chapter ‘Nobility of Service’ this week.
04/07/16 – 08/07/16
I continued
the same chapter and completed it with all its textual activities. This week I
started a new poem ‘Song of a Dream’ also. I put all my effort to teach them
poetic devices. They showed great co-operation and tried to understand all the
poetic devices used in the poem. Pupils
response was good.
11/07/16 – 15/07/16
In this
week, I completed the poem and started the next chapter ‘Maternity’. Pupils
were very active and they were very eager to know the story. Their response
gave me a sense of satisfaction. Our general teacher Sangeetha visited our
school this week for observation.
18/07/16 – 22/07/16
This week I
continued the same chapter. Pupils were very active during scaffolding
questions and we completed some textual activities related to this chapter. In
this week, our optional teacher Ambili came for observation.
25/07/16 – 29/07/16
I completed
the chapter ‘Maternity’ and started a new poem ‘Song of the Rain’ by Khalil
Gibran. It was a philosophical poem and I struggled to make the students
understand the theme of the poem. I think I had succeeded in this task because
pupils responded correctly to my questions. I completed the poem and all the
textual activities.
01/08/16 – 05/08/16
In this
week, I conducted a test paper to evaluate the performance of my students. Some
students’ performance was very bad and I had to give them a remedial class. I began
the play ‘Listen to the Mountain’ this week. There was an enactment on every
class and it was a different experience for me. Pupils also enjoyed the
enactment.
08/08/16 – 12/08/16
I continued
the play this week. Pupils were very disturbed after understanding that we are
responsible for the destruction of ecosystem. I am happy that all of said
unanimously that they will do everything they can to save our ecosystem.
16/08/16 – 19/08/16
This week I
completed the play and started and completed the new lesson ‘A Letter to an
Uncle’ by C. V. Raman. To introduce the lesson, I made them familiar with
famous letters of great personalities. The
problems raised in the letter were discussed with pictures for better
understanding.
23/08/16 – 26/08/16
In this week,
I used teaching models for effective teaching. The play ‘Listen to the
Mountain’ was taken for role play model. Pupils grasped the theme of the lesson
and the elements of role play. Adjectives were taught using advance organizer
model and conditional clause was taught using concept attainment model. We
completed our first teaching practice session and we expressed our sincere
gratitude to the headmistress and all other teachers for their support and
co-operation.

Digital Text
E-Library
A
digital library or e-library is a collection of documents in organized
electronic form, available on the Internet or on CD-ROM (compact-disk read-only
memory) disks. Depending on the specific library, a user may be able to access
magazine articles, books, papers, images, sound files, and videos.
Advantages
·
No physical
boundary: The user of a digital library need not to go to the library
physically; people from all over the world can gain access to the same
information, as long as an Internet connection is available.
·
Round the clock
availability: A major advantage of digital libraries is that people can gain
access 24/7 to the information.
·
Multiple access:
The same resources can be used simultaneously by a number of institutions and
patrons. This may not be the case for copyrighted material: a library may have
a license for "lending out" only one copy at a time; this is achieved
with a system of digital rights management where a resource can become
inaccessible after expiration of the lending period or after the lender chooses
to make it inaccessible (equivalent to returning the resource).
·
Information
retrieval: The user is able to use any search term (word, phrase, title, name,
and subject) to search the entire collection. Digital libraries can provide
very user-friendly interfaces, giving click able access to its resources.
·
Preservation and
conservation: Digitization is not a long-term preservation solution for
physical collections, but does succeed in providing access copies for materials
that would otherwise fall to degradation from repeated use. Digitized
collections and born-digital objects pose many preservation and conservation
concerns that analog materials do not. Please see the following
"Problems" section of this page for examples.
·
Space: Whereas
traditional libraries are limited by storage space, digital libraries have the
potential to store much more information; simply because digital information
requires very little physical space to contain them and media storage
technologies are more affordable than ever before.
·
Added value:
Certain characteristics of objects, primarily the quality of images, may be
improved. Digitization can enhance legibility and remove visible flaws such as
stains and discoloration.
·
Easily
accessible.
