Hi!I'm Genalyn g. Acosta of El Nido Central School, a grade two teacher.Thanks so much for the IBM Kidsmart Early Learning Program.As teacher it is a big help to me in teaching.Because there are so many ideas and strategies in teaching can get in the lessons found in Kidsmart Computer lesson.For the pupils they were so very excited if we have schedule in kidsmart computer lesson.They will always want to stay in the computer room.They will always discuss the topic they learned with their classmates inside the classroom.Even they were not in the Kidsmart computer lesson.Before' we have our classroom discussion with the different subject areas by questioning and answering inside the classroom.Using chalkboard and chalk, pencil and paper,books and other materials/visual aids.But when we have already the Educational Technology it's easier to us to teach and explain to the pupils the topics to be discuss. I have 55 pupils and it's not easy to explained them using my mouth as teacher.But through the help of this KIDSMART project' it's lesser to mo to talk more.Pupils enjoy manipulating the computer and at the same time they want always to repeat and repeat the lesson found in kidsmart.Like for example in making a story. They always recite it in the classroom even they were not in the computer room.Then they can make a simple story with the guide of the lessons they learned in the kidsmart computer lesson.In my class in grade two, I apply this for ones a week every friday.Because we have also a lessons to be follow in DepEd subjects.First,I discuss in our classroom.Then before going out, I set first rules to follow to avoid noise and pupils must behave.Divide the class into 5 groups.Every group have their respective works.The group will rotate to different centers after they finish they will go to another center.Then class will be group again as one.Have assignment given by the teacher.
