5. Situating Tool

Situating tools are the tools which helps to situate learner's in an environment to experience the context and happenings. In simple it is to put somebody's view i real life situation. some of the examples are like; simulations( flight simulation, environment, driving etc). After knowing the importance of simulation in teaching and learning i feel like we as a future teacher, we most use those 21st century teaching skills using different types of creations, adventures and simulation in teaching any subject.

This video shows us how to locate different places using google map. i was totally new for this concept as my tutor taught me for the first time. So, in our school if we teach this concept to our students than i am sure that it will be more easier for our children to browse and locate any place they want to know. This will also helps them in finding longitude and latitude which indirectly helps them in finding correct time of different countries. For me i feel like it is very convenient and helpful for those travelers to first see the distance and time difference than only they can travel.

Next very important thing that i have learned is creating google classroom and using it with our students. I just heard it but never new how to create it and its uses but after sir took us through it, i learned it very well. Firstly we need to create our gmail account and there is a app called classroom. As a teacher i can wish my students, upload reading files and content related video in it and also assign them task like group assignments and quiz. From student side they can drop their comments and doubts and they can complete their assignments and upload in it. So, i felt like it is same like real classroom teaching and learning. in this way we can put our students in real life situation. They can do as like they are inside the classroom.

I was also new to Phat simulation. Since i taught class six science during my teaching practice without any idea on those simulation. i have hardly used ICT in teaching science. As our tutor took us through phat simulation from which we learned how to use ICT in teaching the concept of chemical reaction and its scale. i thought it would be turf making use of ICT while teaching but later as i tried there it proved me wrong because it is much more easier than managing all the chemicals and test tube which is also  very dangerous using with young children. Now,  i am sure that i can apply those ideas in teaching not only science but with all the subject. Those simulations can help teacher as well as the students in viewing in real life situation. in some schools i am sure that there will be shortage of chemical or there won't be appropriate place for the teacher to show practically but through using those simulation i am sure that i can teach them through projecting where everybody can see and foster their interest in learning.
