Professional Reflections
Section B
Question1:
How has IT helped students to innovate in your classroom?
The students were made aware of modern technologies. They learnt how modern technologies like computer, digital camera, and printer, scanner used to generate knowledge& learning activities.
IT helped students to explore sources of information other than their text books .To conduct Encarta/Internet research, to design graphics, to create presentations, to conduct learning to use a computer network that searches libraries, research on a topic encourage students to innovate. Developing skills & motivating them to greater learning, enhance skills on computer information technology (ICT).
Question2: How has the use of technology significantly enhanced your class room practice?
 A program ’Environmental Pollution’ power point presentation based on school curriculum researched. Students meet here with modern technology tools like multimedia, moving images, animations, sound & graphics make learning more inspiring. Earlier students are not innovative & not facing interest now with help of technology they became interactive, excited & used to ask questions. Teaching with student multimedia sample presentation class room   practice becomes more interesting & easy learning among students promote, understanding of concepts improved in smalltime.
Question3: Relate your most powerful story where your use of technology in the classroom has yielded a significant outcome with a student or students.
In the beginning when I am showing a multimedia presentation, in the classroom one of my students ask me sir what is multimedia? Can I also create a multimedia presentation .I answered him yes multimedia is a combined use of graphics, text and sound in a presentation. Use of multimedia in learning will enhance your knowledge and creativity. The question that prompted out a significant shift, That use of technology helps students to produces knowledge rather than be passive consumers of knowledge produced by others. The project has excited the student in technological innovations in teaching and learning. The student learns by doing. The knowledge gained through doing is more valuable with long term impact. Through this practical experience of creating projects of their class room exercise students became very inquisitive &excited showing their attitude changing towards learning.
Question 4- How has the use of technology in your professional life changed and enhanced the way you work with your colleagues?
Tools of modern technology make my teaching more inspiring, innovating. Now I use computer as a magic tool for my teaching, e-mail to communicate with my colleagues & share ideas to others.  I use Internet as a source of information, inquiry & collaborative learning. Now it is easy to me to find any information about any topic this enhanced my teaching in a innovative manner. Using technology builds my confidence &skills to deal with new people &situations, feels free to work with different people. The reach and flexibility provided by an array of Project Siksha have added greater sense of purpose to my profession. Today, these are indispensable   for any teacher. 





Dear students,
                        I have already explained you about environmental pollution .Now I want to show a presentation about pollution. AS

The undesirable change in physical, chemical or Biological characteristics of air, water and soil is called pollution. 

 It can be natural and man-made (anthropogenic).

In simple terms pollution can be seen as the wrong Substance in wrong place in the wrong quantities at the wrong time.

 

Pollutant

Ø Pollution causing agent is known as Pollutant.

Ø Pollutants are substances that adversely change the environment.

Ø Pollutant is a substance - (e.g. fly, ash, soot),

Ø  Pollutant is a chemical (e.g. ozone, nitrogen oxides) or

Ø Pollutant is a Factor (e.g. radiation, noise, heat) which has the potentiality to harmfully affect human life.

Ø Pollutants are mainly of two types.

Ø Primary Pollutant. It is a pollutant that persists in the form in which it is released in the environment e.g. glass, plastic, DDT  and carbon monoxide.

Ø Secondary Pollutant. A Secondary Pollutant is the one ,which is formed from another pollutant due to change or reaction. Such as ozone, aldehyde, peroxyacyl nitrate (PAN) are Secondary pollutant.

Ø AS a result of over population, industrialization and other human       activities like mining ,agriculture, deforestation ,etc .earth has become loaded with diverse pollutants.

Classification of pollutants

Ø  Pollutants are of two main types:

Ø  Biodegradable pollutants. the pollutants, which are broken down the activity of micro organisms and enter into the biogeo chemical cycle are known as biodegradable pollutants .they acts as pollutants only when their quantity is large and they are not degraded at right time

Ø  For example-urine, faecal matter, sewage, paper, wood ,cloth ,agricultural waste ,domestic waste products etc.

Ø  Non-Biodegradable pollutants. the pollutants ,which are not broken down by the activity of micro-organisms and do not enter into the biogeochemical cycle are known as non-biodegradable pollutants .these pollutants may be in solid, liquid or gaseous state they may enter in the food chain and harm the organism.

Ø  For example- insecticides, pesticides, herbicides, like DDT, BHC metals like mercury, lead arsenic aluminum, plastic, radioactive waste, etc.


Types of pollution

Ø Air pollution

Ø Water pollution

Ø Soil pollution

Ø Radioactive pollution

Ø Noise pollution

Air pollution

Ø  When pollutants are present in atmosphere air is pollute known as air pollution . The pollutants change contents of air.

Ø   whenever there is any imbalance in the ratio of atmospheric gases air pollution is caused.

Ø  Natural pollution. it is caused by natural  phenomena like pollen grains ,spores, dust particle, marsh gas ,volcanoes, landslides, soil erosion, forest fires ,ultra-violet radiations, etc.

Ø  Man-made pollution .it is pollution caused by human activities like automobiles ,industries, smoking, pesticides ,fertilisers, etc. man-made pollution is often quite small in quantity as compared to natural pollution .even then man-made pollution is more harmful due to its construction in small area like industrial or residential complex

Sources of air pollution

Ø  Combustion of fossil fuels in homes ,factories and thermal plants produces both solid and gaseous pollutants .the particulate mineral matter being released during combustion is called fly ash .soot is carbonaceous substance formed due to the incomplete combustion of carbohydrates pollutants gases include CO,CO2,SO2,SO3NO,NO2,NH3etc.

Ø  Automobile and aircrafts. In cities, automobiles   are the biggest source of air pollution, 80%of all .

Ø  Automobiles release13.7%of unburnt hydrocarbons, 77.2%nitrogen oxide and smaller amounts of so2, NH3and lead. The major source of lead pollution is also leaded petrol having tetraethyl lead and tetraethyl lead.
