We-chat for classroom Teaching and Learning

Integrating We-chat  application in our teaching and learning cycle is beneficial for the teacher and  the learners. We-chat helps teachers to encompass teaching and learning in more organized manner. It is found easy to teach because learners are curious and more engaged in the assigned task. Firstly I could evaluate my own teaching and find out how much students understood.

I tried integrating ICT learning through we-chat the most used application these days. I found out that students have full opportunity on hands on experience. I called the parents of my children who were in my class. I told them to add me to the we-chat and asked the permission of the parents to give them mobile phone for an hour or two during the week end. It was for my lesson taught during the week in English.

I made a condition that they will go and read the taught lesson and if they come across any doubt they are to upload it in the we-chat and the group can have the discussion. They were also instructed and encouraged to upload what they had learned. If they can’t come to the solution then teacher will intervene. It will be an official group and the member will not be allowed to post anything rather than educational questions and queries.

Students learning how to use we-chat

It was found enriching, students were encouraged to explore and discover their own learning and the environment around them. It was easier on my part too.. It was easier to contact students. Students could openly share their doubts. Even a silent student in the class became an active member. They were more comfortable because they have their own setting. It also helped the struggling students to learn with an entertaining approach,
