These pictures were taken of students during a Civics lesson. Students were given the assignment of using pictures, drawings and captions to "illustrate" some problems of our civic life. This provided the opportunity to use creativity and personal experience in making posters, in contrast to traditional assignments of copying definitions, reasons and examples from media and other sources into the notebook. Students were allowed to work in groups if they desired, and later shared their work by having the class attempt to determine which civic issue was illustrated in their poster. Students showed a great deal of enthusiasm and creativity in this project, and demonstrated mastery of their topic during class discussion and subsequent testing.
A Quiz Programme organised by my class 9 students for the whole school in January 2oo8, as part of a group learning activity, connected with the lesson ‘History of Cricket’. A very clear testimony to illustrate ICT integrated teaching.
'On the Ramp Down the Centuries'- a costume show organised by class IX for the whole school in October 2008, as a part of a group learning activity is another very clear illustration of learning by doing. Each and every student of the class collected datas and designs of costumes used by people belonging to different cultural backgrounds during different periods. Finally, each one of them opted for a particular costume and designed it and presented it on the stage by using their variety skills such as dramatics, dance, mono act, mime,and singing. Really, the show was an excellent depiction of Howard Gardner's Multiple Intelligence.
