Learning through Art

During initial sessions of CICT class I learnt that for a teachers adaptability is key. It is very important to be ready to learn and keep on improving your skills with time. Only then can teachers encourage the students to use their multiple abilities to accomplish tasks assigned to them. To further exemplify the fact that a teacher in him/herself is a master of all traits we were given the enjoyable activity of making a radio jingle. The objective was to deliver a short message in an exciting and catchy way so the listener is attracted to the jingle and gets the message in an interactive manner.
The topic given to us for the jingle was to encourage fresh graduates to join the teaching profession. The highlight of the activity was the immense level of excitement we felt whilst making the song. We had a glorious time using simple musical instruments and making sounds with various objects in order to make melodies. The activity also brought forward different talents and skills of the group members, some were good in rhyming words while others could sing very well. The challenge was to use art for the purpose of enhancing the learning experience of the students. It was a very motivating and fascinating idea of engaging students through active learning.
