Teaching Electronics concepts using Videos :Ubiquitous Learning
Digital technologies are electronic tools, systems, devices and resources that generate, store or process data. To simplifie the process of teaching learning technology provieds many platforms . Here i suggest use of public platform Youtube.com to eductation purpose.
Teaching Elctronic concepts using conventional methods (Black Board and gChalks ) is very hectic so i decided to creat small videos highlighting each concepts . The link of videos were circulated amongst the students and students were asked to complete a quiz based on each video .Initial response from students was good which encouraged me to preapare more videos .
Sample video link is as follows :

The major challege in this activity was to design large set of quiz questions and maintaining privacy of it . The main advantage of this activity was flexibility to learners .
This was the simple example of flip classroom . The other innovative techniques are required to improve peer to peer sharing and learning.
Good short videos followed by Quizzes works well. I have tried albeit with lower classes- Grade 4 and 5 Sciences.
Quizizz was a great help for me
1. They have a number of really good ready-made quizzes. It tells you the dfficulty level, number of questions and what grades it would fit well.
2. You can create your own QUIZ either by borrwing some existing questions or creating your own questions
3. These platforms are often aligned to LMS like Google Classroom like in my case. So all links simply reach kids and they work on it asynchronous way.
4. We also as teachers, reports of how a class performed for a certain quiz on a topic; how each student performed. Whats the class accuracy? what questions each got wrong..This becomes an useful feedback
Not that I am marketing quizizz or anything...just thought of sharing as Quizzes are indeed a great idea and we can make use of available resources
Thanks Harish for the nice article. Thanks Humberto
Thanks
Nice approach! I guess you can use Quizizz platform in order to elaborate your questions.
