An Unforgetable Fortnight

It has been a great priviledge for me to be a part of 'ICT in Classroom' Teachers' Training Programme Facilitated by Mr. Batuk Lal Tamang, the Headteacher of Annapurna Secondary School. His restless efforts as a textbook of English language and practicebook writer together with an English language teachers' trainer have taken him to the height of absolute popularity among the English language practioners in Nepal. Recently, he has added a new title in the field of his introduction as an expert of ICT facilitator and trainer in the district.

Most schools in our country have been running in quite traditional method in the field of teaching learning methodology. Although there are some schools well equipped with modern tools of teaching learning aids, they are also lagging behind in the context of teaching using tools because either the teachers aren't well trained or they are not professional. In such situation it becomes quite challenging to impart knowledge in an effective way. this one week training has given us new empowerment to make our teaching more effective. Many of us who even didn;t know most of the gadgets' names used in ICT have been able to handle them successfully. Moreover, we who didn't know more about social media and multi media have been able to create our own gmail ID, Create and share slodes and we also know making blogs and digital whiteboard. We are able to set and operate smart board and multimrdia projector too. We are also able to use Audacity in our language classroom now which will be quite helpfool in promoting our students' speaking skill in the days that follow.

Tomorrow is the final day of our training program. We'll add a lot of knowledge regarding using ICT in our classroom and make our classes more lively. We will strongly urge our school principal to provide us a spacious room with an internet connection where we could lunch our ICT based language classes. And in future there will be ICT based classes in every classrooms.

Finally, I'd like to offer my vote of thanks to the embessy of the United States for Choosing a dedicated professional teacher to impart ICT knowledge to teachers like us. I'd also like to Congratulate all the participants to get such opportunity to be ICT equipped teacher in the district. And I'd offer my sincere gratitude to Mr. Tamang to spare his valuable time with us during the training. I wish that all the Headteachers from public and private school will be inspired by this popurar Headteacher and make their school an ICT school for lively classes.
