Innovative Work - Visual Representation of "On Killing a Tree"

 The Visual Representation of On Killing a Tree was presented on 24/11/2023 as part of the lesson. 

Benefits:

1. Learners will remember the lines of the poem for a long period since they learned it through a visual aid.

2. It is relief from the regularly used PowerPoint Slides.


Innovative Work - AI Assisted Teaching

 The use of Artificial Intelligence in Teaching is an advanced mode of the Teaching-Learning Process currently. The use of AI in creating teaching-learning materials was practised by me from the beginning. AI-assisted classroom learning was a big question for me. I thought of employing it in the review section of a lesson. The lesson was supposed to be taken on 15th November. But due to the unit tests in the school, I could conduct it only on 18th November.

Benefits:

1. Student participation improves.

2. Students become more interested.

3. Idea can be transacted effectively

4. Teachers' technical skills would improve.

Difficulties:

1. Need high internet speed.

The 24th was relatively uneventful. I spend most of my time writing and creating teaching aids. I could finish two lessons and show the innovative work - the visual representation of "On Killing a Tree".
