INTRODUCTION
As
part of fourth semester B Ed curriculum a conscientization programme was organized
on 18th January 2019 for the students of class 8F of VHGHSS Kollam. The topic
of the programme was ‘Internet and Teenage’.
Internet has of great importance in this era. There are a lot of benefits as
well as negative effects of internet. Internet
has become inseparable part of our lives and irrespective of our age,
profession as well as field. We are making use of in some way or another. Out
of all the people who use internet for fulfilling their everyday needs,
requirements as well as entertainment purposes, teenagers are often seen to be
biggest contributor to the use of internet. Today parents have least control
over the type of content their kids are exposed to and with the increasing
number of teenagers who are finding their way towards internet, it has become a
major topic of concern as well as fear for their parents. It is high time that
we regulate the extent of internet exposure provided to our children.

REPORT
The conscientization
programme was organized on the topic “INTERNET
AND TEENAGE” on 18th January 2019. I have selected students of
class VIII.F of Vimala Hridaya Girls HSS as participants of the
conscientization programme. Before taking class I referred different sources
and collected information. For making class effective I used power point and
video.
The class started with an
interaction session. As I enquired about internet usage of students, most of
them replied that they are using different social media in addition to educational
purpose. Almost all famous social media are familiar for students now a days.
Then I allowed students to discuss about advantages and disadvantages of
internet and later I explained them with help of a power point. Advantages of
internet like its role in learning and communication, identify locations,
banking, internet etc were explained. Later I added disadvantages of internet
like occurrence of sadness, anxiety, depression, unable to keep time schedules,
social isolation, mood changes etc. Students were very curious to know more
about negative effects. They carefully listened to me.
REFLECTION
The
conscientization programme was a success as the students carefully listened the
contents and responded well. I couldn’t make use of power point due to some
technical issues. It would be better if the projector was used. As internet
usage is common among students they was able to relate their everyday life with
the topic. The planning and execution of the programme went well. This
programme was very helpful for me to know more about the contents and conduction
of such conscientization programme.
