This concept is usually taught to kids via traditional " chalk and talk". its is however noted that this never usually is always effective to some students . I would perhaps try to let students use google to get different definitions in order to get different perspectives and hopefully a higher success rate would be gained.

Students were able understand key concepts such as self esteem referring to definitions in the textbook. Another time I would perhaps used a checklist on Microsoft Word to help students derive their own definitions

Concepts are traditionally taught by providing students with the definition. Using the SAMR model students can research the concept online and write their own definition.

Using ICT to help students understand the key concepts in this topic of Self Esteem was successful. Slideshows used in the classroom helped them arrive at their own definition of self esteem instead of the usual didactic method of giving them the definition. this way they could play a more personal role in their learning. hopefully this will mean that they will better recall the information

Self Esteem is a topic that can lend it self to the use of ICT and while it would be usually taught through class discussions perhaps the use of short video clips of situations in movies etc can be used to look at self esteem and its various facets.

The use of ICT is quite appropriate as it not only allows for the sharing and viewing of information through online sites such as you tube but it also allows for group collaboration and sharing o ideas which can help to improve effectiveness and better analytical skills .

Yes, ICT was essential as it converted the lesson to a student-centered approach. Students are not able to take charge of their learning and would retain the information better.

Youtube would be essential. Take for example the following video might help students understand the concept of self esteem. Also they will enjoy the musical aspect.

It definitely was essential. Unlike instances past when this topic was taught, the use of ICT as a teaching and learning tool got the students more excited and engaged than in previous attempts at teaching this same topic. their excitement saw them less distracted, more focused and keen to learn

Some obstacles that could be encountered would be the availability of resources at the school in terms of internet acess and availability of computers for kids to work with. This obstacle can be solved through the use of group work or even allow students to view and comment at their home where available and if such isn't the use of the IT room should be considered for students who doesnt have such access.

# data[].attributes.body
The use of the internet to research definition is appropriate, however the teacher can provide students with a video clip showing what positive and negative self esteem looks like. This video clip can be posted on educational forums such as Edmodo where students can then share their opinions.

The use of ICT Integration in these lessons would allow for students to collaborate hence encouraging higher order thinking skills that would further allow them to be able to solve problems and promote higher order problem thinking skills.

Students today are so stimulated by visual media that traditional teaching methods are almost obsolete. the ability to use pictures to tell stories in the classroom is part of their nature and familiar to them. perhaps using video may offer a better way to communicate key concepts of self esteem to them.  Students today are content creators on several visual platforms.  I definitely intend to use video content creation as a form of assessment in the near future

I think the ICT selected was appropriate. Students enjoyed the song and the images presented. They were eager to answer questions and even gave feedback on the discussion.
I think a better option can be used for instance PowToon. I think the animation and presentation might be more attractive. I can even get students to collaborate and create their own and have them share.

Not so much an obstacle but an observation is that some students while viewing the photos did not see the same things that other students saw. most likely because of their own personal histories, some students interpreted the pictures in a far different way than their peers

# data[].attributes.body
One major obstacle was the movement and connecting equipment as the school did not have an audio visual room. In order to ensure that the equipment was indeed functioning things had to be ready the period before the lesson.

# data[].attributes.body
For those students with interpretations of the photos that were outside the popular opinion of the class, the fact that the class could comment on and investigate the reasons for the differences in interpretations in real time offered a great opportunity for collaboration, discussion and discovery of the multiplicity of definitions of self esteem. students came to realise that social factors play a part in the development of self esteem and that everyone does not share the same social environment

# data[].attributes.body
Possible problems that can be encountered is the availability of internet access at school. With the use of educational forums students can log it at a time convenient to them outside of school.

# data[].attributes.body
The use of ICT in lessons would allow for student interest and engagement. Use of ICT can even boost student self esteem as they use their own devices to create and learn.

The integration of ICT in the activity would initially encourage students to take charge of their learning. Through group discussions and collaborations students are able to create definitions for the core concept.
