Use of movie to teach story of cinderella

On 6th October, I planned a lesson to teach the story of Cinderella to class three students during the English class. The objective of the lesson was to take the students through a like story with the pictures and story narrated together. So for that to be successful, I downloaded a story of Cinderella and showed them on my laptop. 

This was completely a different way to narrate a story to them. The traditional method of teaching brought less interest within them but the use of ICT such as the use of video clip triggered burning interest to the story. They enjoyed watching the movie with lot of enthusiasm and no one was dozing in the class as they used to do during the verbal teaching. They didn't have to carry the book with them but a single movie did a lot. 

Cinderella story.

After the movie was shown in the class, few of them were made to narrate the story again as a revision. All of them told the story as expected and on top of that, they did not even missed to tell the scene that was described in the movie. From that, we can conclude that, displaying the movie audio-visually can help in retaining the information for a long time and in a clear and rigid manner.  From my point of view as a teacher, I felt that soon ICT can replace the traditional way of teaching because about 20 years down the line, after the development of ICT, everything is going to be computerized and even the teachings too. The way I was taught about those stories were so traditional and i now come to a consensus that the way I as a teacher teach right now is more interesting  and fun. 

Now I feel that teaching is more that telling a story or reading a book for them. We MUST try to convey the meaning not only for now but for the times to come too. This can be done only by the use of ICT. For instance, a simple story of Cinderella, which can be taught verbally, can be made into more interesting story by showing them the movie. This will make them remember rigidly in the long run.

In general, I feel that a simple ICT usage can bring a change in teaching and learning process because it has the ability to boost interest in their mind besides retaining power. It can make the readers feel like they are in the story scene and it has lot of positive effect on them.
