3. Non-electronic Visual Resources

Globes, maps, Charts

The non-electronic visual resources like their globe and their maps are still in good condition despite being used widely by the students in their history class.

The globe and the map are used in their history class as an instructional tool.

4. ICT Resources

Computer Laboratory

The ICT resources of their school are relatively new but still in tip-top condition.

The computer units are used for hands-on computer laboratory activities, while the overhead projector is for transparency slide presentations.

My AnalysisWhere the learning resources/ materials arranged properly according to their functions and characteristics?

Yes, learning resources/materials are arranged properly according to their functions and characteristics. Books are arranged depending to its subject contents and other materials are arranged properly.

Do the guidelines and procedures facilitate easy access to the materials by the teachers? Why? Why not?

- Since there was no guidelines and procedures, but still pupils can use materials easily. They will just ask permission from the teacher when they want to borrow or use. The materials are accessible for the teacher because all are organized.

What are the strengths of this Learning Resource Center?- The strengths of the learning resource center are:

1. All are arranged and classified according to its uses and functions.2. Accessible for everybody to use.3. Pupils have no difficulty in getting the materials because it is within their reach. 4. It is free from dust and moisture.

What are its weaknesses?The library needs better lighting especially during cloudy days and better ventilation on

warm and humid days.

The numbers of computer is not enough to accommodate all the students in one section. The ratio sometimes was one is to two.

What suggestions can you make?When finances can suffice, it would be better to add more lighting fixtures and

ventilation measures to the library. It is also good if the institution add their units of computers and high tech learning gadgets someday.

My Reflections1. Which of the materials in the Learning Resource Center caught your

interest the most? Why?

Among the materials in the learning resources at SAN JUAN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL, the books really caught my interest because ever since I was a kid I really love reading books, despite some difficulty in relating to some topics.

The learning resources/materials are arranged properly according to their functions and characteristics. The books, magazines, article news are properly arranged by each place. The guidelines and procedures facilitate easy access to the materials by the teachers because the books are free from dust moisture, arranged by each type and easy to get by the learners. Library serves as permanent sources of information. The books present accurate facts and details. They are reusable. Students can control their own pace of learning by using books at a convenient time. The material that I already confident to use are the books because it widen my knowledge and the one that I need to learn more is using of the new computerized library system.

3. Which gadgets/materials are you already confident to use/operate?

Among the gadgets that I am confident to use are the computer and the overhead projector. I just felt comfortable operating it, it also makes me easy to use because it is not new in my part as a former Computer programmer student. We also experienced using it in our reports and presentations.

4. Which ones do you feel you need to learn more about?

All the materials present in the learning resource center are easy to use. Therefore, I can say that I don’t need to learn more about those materials. However, although I am confident that I can use the computer as an instructional tool, I definitely would like to learn more about the Web 2.0 tools like blogging and social bookmarking as well as the issues that may be encountered in using them for distance learning.

Mapping Web 2.0 Benefits to Known Best Practices in Distance Education

Published: January-February 2010

Introduction

The last several years have been filled with enthusiastic discussion regarding Web 2.0 technologies and their positive, dynamic enhancements to a user’s experience on the Internet. This same wave has somewhat belatedly crashed over the realm of online education, and it has been a much-mulled subject ever since. The reason is for this is simple: The potential positive impact of Web 2.0 tools on the online learning experience is believed to be myriad and vast. 

Recent research has confirmed and identified benefits to the use of Web 2.0 technologies within the online classroom. Such benefits can be mapped to known best practices from the distance education literature to help enhance and optimize their potential positive effects within the online classroom. This article outlines the suspected and documented benefits of Web 2.0 technologies and links them to known best best practices in distance education.

Potential Benefits of Web 2.0 Technologies

The benefits of using Web 2.0 tools and technologies in the online classroom reaches far and wide. This section looks at both documented and undocumented advantages.

Undocumented/Presumed Potential Benefits

Since their inception, Web 2.0 tools have widely been believed to produce several positive impacts:

Page 10: 128208669 FS 3 Technology in the Learning Environment Ready for Print

They provide a constructivist-friendly toolkit. Constructivist theory is generally acknowledged and utilized in online education as an effective roadmap towards successful, deep learning outcomes for students. The requirements of a successful constructivist approach include encouraging the student's own role in the continuing process of constructing knowledge and deep learning. Prior to Web 2.0, one of the key assumptions was that online classrooms would serve well as platforms for creating constructivist learning environments, but they actually often proved to simply act as transmission models of education (Allen & Long, 2009) usually due to the high expertise levels required of earlier technologies. More recently, the surge in user-friendly Web 2.0 tools such as wikis, blogs, video sharing services, social networks, and other collaborative tools have lent support to a key component of constructivist practice: the promotion of collaborative learning, capable of helping to create "an entire constructivist learning environment" (Seitzinger, 2006, p.13) within an online class.

They create a connection to today's students' (and our own) "real world." Web 2.0 has also already proven valuable in various corporate, government, and institutional settings, and its adoption has been quite rapid compared to other IT technologies (Bughin, 2008). As such, implementing thse tools in the educational arena can help prepare students to use them in real-world venues.

They allow for authentic assessment. The effects of Web 2.0 simply cannot be ignored today. It is now a nearly unavoidable aspect within the daily lives of most students and even some instructors these days. Some have argued that it must now be accounted for in creating an authentic assessment of learning objectives, and of the formal and informal learning going on inside and outside the classroom. Allen (2009) goes so far as to note that "developments in assessment using the Internet will only be authentic if they take account of the way the Internet functions outside of higher education, rather than seeing it as an educational technology divorced from its own authenticity" (p. 1). Allen goes even further to state:

Since this kind of knowledge work is becoming the norm, without a social media / Web 2.0 approach to assessment, traditional approaches (essays, tests, student-centred discussions and presentations) will begin to appear inauthentic if they do not, to some extent at least, recognize and embrace Internet-enabled knowledge networking. (p. 4)

They can be repurposed for multiple stakeholder levels within an organization. The same Google Apps for Education tools used for student collaborations can also be used by an instructor to share documents with a colleague, possibly allowing them to co-author research in a much simpler and efficient manner than ever before. The administration can also benefit from use of such tools for the same reasons.

They are cost efficient. An institution making use of Web 2.0 tools will see efficiencies of scale due to savings in cost (usually free) and resources expended to create the tools (virtually none). These are ample savings potentials compared to the usually large fixed costs required to produce similar proprietary materials. Web 2.0 tools are proving beneficial to institutions seeking affordable, scalable solutions for course content.

Some institutions are using Web 2.0 technologies for course management (Rienzo& Han, 2009). It would seem such institutions must examine these tools now, when considering the threat of a truly Web 2.0 style service such as Ududtu.com, which offers a free method of not only creating

Page 11: 128208669 FS 3 Technology in the Learning Environment Ready for Print

learning objects but also a means of creating a standalone LMS within the confines of Facebook, a popular social networking site. The user can upload interactive content made at Udutu and then track a student's graded progress within the LMS app. Some of the more hyperbolic enthusiasts of Web 2.0 applications such as this have claimed that it brings a "transformation of learning" (Selwyn, 2009, p. 1). While there is ample room for skepticism of such lofty claims—and some of it well deserved—recent research has discerned and noted definitive benefits to using Web 2.0 technologies in the online classroom.

Documented Benefits

While there seems to be a general paucity of directly measurable data on the benefits of Web 2.0 technology for online education, there is some relatively fresh evidentiary research that can be referenced. A recent research report funded by Becta, a British government agency charged with effective use of innovative technology in learning, recently released a major report on the impact of Web 2.0 technology on secondary schools (Crook, Fisher, Graber, Harrison, &Lewin., 2009). The report is based on evidence gathered from field studies, guided surveys of 2600 students, and interviews and online surveys conducted with instructors, technical staff, administration, and parents.

The report contains many fascinating findings regarding usage of Web 2.0 technologies, challenges to implementation, policy, and more. It also explicitly cites four potential benefits of Web 2.0 on teaching and learning:

It stimulates new modes of inquiry. It creates new opportunities for collaborative learning. It allows students to engage with new literacies and express themselves in different media. It encourages a proficiency in the publication of content, which creates a sense of ownership,

audience engagement, peer assessment, and informal learning.

These documented benefits lend much support to the undocumented benefits being on the right track in terms of how Web 2.0 technologies can positively impact the teaching and learning process. But how do these benefits play out against the most commonly known and agreed-upon best practices in online education?

Mapping Benefits to Best Practices

Much has been written in the literature regarding best practices in distance education—from Chickering and Gamson’s seven principles (1987) to Hacker and Niederhauser (2000) to Berge (2002) and many others. Throughout the literature, four common themes are reiterated as being best practices for online/distance education. In short, faculty need to:

Facilitate learning Foster interaction Use collaborative problem solving Provide prompt feedback

The examples below discuss these four best practices in more detail and examine where Web 2.0 technologies align with them.

Page 12: 128208669 FS 3 Technology in the Learning Environment Ready for Print

Facilitate Learning

In pursuit of Lewis and Al-Hamid’s (2006) notion of the importance of facilitating learning in online education, the authors note that "[t]he use of learning objects such as video clips and other digital resources was another strategy for some of the exemplary faculty" (p.12). One of the richest Web 2.0 veins to be mined is learning objects. Users of such sites may simply access and utilize the pre-authored content on a site, or may, in the true spirit of Web 2.0, create and share their own content with the community. Additionally, the user may collaborate with others in this creation and sharing of content.

If an instructor or student is not interested in authoring his or her own content, thousands of free videos are available from services such as YouTube, Hulu, and dozens of other lesser-known video-sharing sites. Pertinent videos on virtually any imaginable subject can now be found online, and they can be embedded directly within an online classroom via auto-generated HTML code supplied by the services—creating a highly contextualized, engaging experience for the learner. Video services continue to develop additional features, making the content even more beneficial to learning via functions such as Hulu’s ability to select and embed only a segment of a video and YouTube’s new automated closed-captioning service.

Other types of learning objects abound, like those found in repositories of pre-authored interactive learning objects such as Merlot, where objects are freely shared. Learning objects themselves may actually be authored and then shared within a Web 2.0 service community such as Flickr for pictures, ZohoShare for presentations, or Google Docs for collaboration on various types of documents. Students themselves may then participate in the selection (or outright creation) and sharing of such learning objects within a class, supporting Anderson and Wark's (2004) vision of a classroom that is populated with student-supplied content and their conclusion that

an instructional design based on student construction and sharing of knowledge in a web based portal is perceived to be a valued and worthwhile learning experience. Students report this design provides as much or more learning, challenge and skill acquisition as other courses in the program do. (Conclusion section, paragraph 2)

Not only does this sort of model enable constructivist learning to occur, but the content itself, which is located or created by the students, can also save instructors the time investment required to locate or create such materials themselves.

Foster Interaction

The importance of interaction between the online instructor, students, and peers has been noted numerous times in the literature, due to a sense that isolation can arise in the online learning experience (Lewis & Al-Hamid, 2006). While attempting to meet online learners' expectations of the instructor’s constant presence, or at least the appearance of a constant presence, the already heavy workload of the instructor can be increased. Various strategies, which are supported by Web 2.0 technologies, are available to the instructor to lessen the strain of maintaining a high degree of interaction, including the use of a synchronous peer tutoring mechanism (Westera, De Bakker, &Wagemans, 2009).

Page 13: 128208669 FS 3 Technology in the Learning Environment Ready for Print

Web 2.0 technologies and services are by their very nature about interaction, some more specifically than others. Internet phone services such as Skype and instant messaging services such as AIM enable synchronous interactions; blogs and microblogs, wikis, and social networks all offer ample asynchronous interaction opportunities. Google’s highly anticipated Wave tool promises to take interaction to a whole new level (Devaney, 2009).

Use Collaborative Problem Solving

Theorists and practitioners alike have often flagged collaborative activities as a best practice for enhancing online learning. Research (Gokhale, 1995) has also shown this to be true. However, the Internet prior to Web 2.0 could not offer a great variety— or very dynamic modes—of collaboration. This situation has been transformed by the possibilities that Web 2.0 technologies can offer. Powerful new tools abound to enable enhanced collaborative learning opportunities. One such class of tools involves Web conferencing environments. At one time, Web conferencing was a technically challenging and expensive resource of the elite. Even a short time ago, a proprietary Web conferencing system would require large sums of money and time to support it. Now, with the availability of Web 2.0 versions of this class of tool, the door has been opened to all. Tools such as Mikogo offer a large array of collaborative features, such as desktop and application sharing, remote keyboard and mouse control, meeting recording and playback, whiteboards, file exchange, and more for free.

Other sorts of Web 2.0 tools for collaboration include the document sharing class of tools. Web 2.0 versions of office suites are numerous, but perhaps the most notable is Google Docs and its sister project, Google Apps for Education. Google Docs is free and available to anyone with Internet access. It allows one to use the Internet cloud as a new sort of desktop, with all the functionality of a user’s local computer. The key difference is that the documents created in Google Docs are available to the user from any computer in the world that has an Internet connection—and they also allow for synchronous or asynchronous collaboration.

For synchronous usage, a user could overlay the use of Skype to collaboratively examine, review, and discuss a particular phrase in a document, a formula in a spreadsheet cell, or the images included in a PowerPoint presentation. An asynchronous approach could involve a user simply making edits and then inviting the collaborator to visit and review automatically tracked changes at his/her convenience. Other services related to these initiatives include Google Groups, which creates interest groups, and Google Sites, which allows collaborative creation of Web sites and related files. All of these tools are examples of Web 2.0 technology that encourage publishing proficiency.

Page 14: 128208669 FS 3 Technology in the Learning Environment Ready for Print

Provide Prompt Feedback

There seems to be nearly unanimous agreement in the literature on the need for prompt feedback in the online classroom. This task is also acknowledged as being time-intensive for the instructor. It is possible that the creative use of some Web 2.0 tools could help eliminate this burden.

In an earlier age, the notion of using voice-based feedback to reduce the writing load and speed up the feedback process was technically difficult and required ownership of software to create and edit the recordings. The instructor would then be responsible for sending the file to the student. In a Web 2.0 world, the whole process becomes much simpler, with a free service offering the entire process from a single location in the cloud. Services such VoiceThread, for example, can create a sort of voice thread (not surprising then, its choice of name) that goes one step further in that it can "enable asynchronous comments and feedback from students and tutors alike around pieces of media such as video clips, images and presentations" (Burden & Atkinson, 2008, p. 2).

Conclusion

While it has been believed for some time that Web 2.0 technologies held strong promise to benefit online classrooms, there is now also corroborating evidence from recent research that testifies to Web 2.0's positive impact on teaching and learning. These benefits can be directly aligned to key existing best practices in online education, which serves to further substantiate the validity of these tools for the educational environment.

Comments

Effective CommunicationConveys the message quickly and clearly.

The over-all impact of the display would not even consider smoking as habit.

AttractivenessColors and arrangement catch and hold interest.

Although the depiction of the diseases onesomewhat morbid even but the chosencolors for its design compliment it in a waygiving it aesthetic value.

BalanceObjects are arranged so stability is perceived.

The design itself has stability but somehow lacks of elements of balance

UnityRepeated shape or colors or use of borders holds display together

There is unity among the elements used inthe display. There are no repeated shapesbecause the design does not call for it.

InteractivityThe style and approach entice learners to be involved.

The style actually entices learners to do thereverse of so that they will not get sick

LegibilityLetters and illustrations can be seen from a good distance.

The letters are not that visible from a good distance; the viewer needs to one to twometers from the display.

Page 20: 128208669 FS 3 Technology in the Learning Environment Ready for Print

CorrectnessFree from grammar errors, misspelled words, and ambiguity.

Despite its scientific nature, there are nomistakes, grammatically and conceptually.

DurabilityWell-constructed, items are securely attached.

The display is very durable because it is made of tarpaulin

My AnalysisDid the board display design reflect the like/ interests of its target audience? Why? Why not?

Yes, the display actually reflects the interests of its target audience because teenagers actually like toexperiment on things like smoking.

Was the language used clear and simple for the target audience to understand? Why? Why not?

Yes, the language used is clear and simple – in fact the diseases are written in Filipino and in English.

What do you think was the purpose of the board display? Was it effective? Why? Why not?

I think the display is very effective, in a sense that one would not smoke or even inhale secondhand smoke because of the visual message it delivers

What suggestions can you make?

10 Suggestions For An Effective Display Board1. Create an attention-getter at the top. This should clue the viewer in to the topic of the display.2. Use diagonal lines. Diagonal lines give the feeling of action and make it more interesting to look at. Diagonal lines can also be created by the placement of the information cards.3. Use contrasting colors: dark on light or light on dark. This makes things stand out. Remember the viewer needs to be able to see your information clearly. Also, check font size for ease of reading. Colors should also be appropriate to the topic.4. Have LOTS of visuals. Keep the words to a minimum.5. Set up your board logically from left to right.6. Use 3-D (form) if possible on your board. An example would be a map that "pops out".

Creativity – she/he must be able to come up with unique ways to portray lessons or concepts.Elegance – she/he must strive for balance between vibrant and conservative design so that themessage will be delivered properly.Ingenuity – she/he will be able to apply problem solving skills in coming up with a display.Resourcefulness – she/he will be able to come up with an effective board display using the availableresources at hand.Innovativeness – she/he will be able to introduce contemporary topics to his/her board display.

2. Which of the skills you named in #1 do you already have? Recall your past experiences in making board displays. How do you practice these skills?The skills that I already have are creativity, resourcefulness and innovativeness. I do not have much experience in making board display, the one that I could clearly remember was in elementary, but I am able to practicethese skills through the lessons in the course I am taking right now.

3. Which skills do you still need to develop? What concrete steps will you take on how you can improve on or acquire these skills?

I feel that I need to develop more elegance and ingenuity in coming up with designs not only in making aboard display and other instructional materials. I can improve on these skills by constant practice and byresearch on various designs helpful in coming up with instructional materials.

observe.1. What is the lesson about?

The lesson that catches more my attention is the subject verb agreement.

2. What visual aids/ materials/learning resources is the teacher using?Mrs. Lilia Subion provided a free copy of the lesson contents including the test questionnaire. All the students have to do is to read and answer the exercise right after the discussion.

3. Observe and take notes on how the teacher presents/ uses the learning resources.The teacher discussing the lesson content that can be found on the given copy. The students will read and participate, the teacher do a random calling of the students to recite. The last activity and given test was also based in the provided copy. The students can easily and clearly understand what they are going to do.

4 Closely observe the learners’ responses to the teacher’s use of learning resources. Listen to their verbal responses. What do their responses indicate? Do did their responses show attentiveness, eagerness and understanding?

Yes the responses are good and motivating in part of both learners and teachers.

4. Focus on their non-verbal responses. Is their learning forward showing their interest on the lesson and the materials? Are they looking towards the direction of the teacher and the materials? Do their actions show attentiveness, eagerness and understanding?Yes, the materials add the interest of the students because it is very easy for them to access the lesson proper.the students really learn.

UTILIZATION OF TEACHING AIDS FORM

Grade or Year Level of Class Observed: 1st year High School

Date of Observation: Jan- Feb. 2013

Subject matter: ENGLISH

Brief Description of Teaching Approach Used by The Teacher:

The teacher provides a copy of the lesson content and give instruction then after a brief discussion she proceed to activities.

Teaching Aids used (Enumerate in Bullet form)

Strengths Weaknesses Comments on Appropriateness of the Teaching Aids used

Printed Copy of lesson

Visual aid

Books

Chalk & board

- All pupils involve in the reading process since everyone has a book.

- All students read the selection through its readable letter and construction of words.

By reading the books, pupils are able to improve their speech skills.

The pupils get confused because some words from the books are hard for them to understand.

It is much better if the teacher unlock difficult words first then explains to the pupils so that they will be able to understand the selection easily.

Page 30: 128208669 FS 3 Technology in the Learning Environment Ready for Print

My AnalysisWhat do you think prompted the teacher to choose the materials/learning resources that she/he used?

- I think the teacher used books to guide the learners and support their learning’s. The teacher prompted to use pictures of different places and events because, maybe, she knew that pupils will listen to her attentively using those aids.

What difficulties, if any, did the teacher experience? How can this be managed?

- The difficulties experienced by the teacher in teaching those topics were the different level of intelligences and different behaviors that her pupils possessed. Since, most of the pupils have short span of attention. But still, she was able to manage them through his way of awakening the pupils in saying yelling to them when they got bored.

Over-all, were the learning resources/materials used effectively? Why? Why not?- All learning resources/materials used slight effective because only few learners’

got the passing score. Most of them got score below the passing score. But, the teacher made a remedial to those who did not pass her given exam

My Reflection1. Put yourself in the place of the teacher. What would you do similarly and what would do differently if you would teach the same lesson to the same group of students? Why?

If I were the teacher, I would do similarly during my class discussion. I would use books and pictures as visual aids to

support my teachings. But what would vary differently from activities to my pupils. I would make my pictures big so that it will be visible to the learners. I would also give first a motivational song related to my topic, explain it to them. Later on, I would give lectures about adjectives that describe places and events by giving them examples. Then, I will give them time to create sentences to their own.

My MapTo teach your target, follow the steps below:

Step 1. Decide on a specific content area.

Step 2. Find out the learning resources relevant to your topic that is available from your school/university’s learning resource center.

Step 3. Develop a pile of teaching aids (flash cards, pictures, cut-outs transparencies).

Step 4. Organize them in a box.

Page 34: 128208669 FS 3 Technology in the Learning Environment Ready for Print

My ToolsAs you observe the class, use the activity forms provided for you to document

your observations.

An Observation/Survey Guide

1. Are there learning resources useful for your topic in the resource center you visited?

- Yes, there are learning resources/materials useful for my topics that are present

in the resource center.

2. Are the available materials appropriate for your target grade/year level?

- Yes, there are available materials appropriate for my target grade/year level.

These will surely help and facilitate learning’s to the pupils.

2. List down those that can be useful for your topic.

- Learning materials useful for my topic are the books, manila paper, pentel pen,

chalks, pictures and charts.

What other materials can you make? (Like flash cards, posters, cut-outs,

transparencies, etc)?

- The other materials that I can make are cut-out letters, flash cards and visual

aids.

Page 35: 128208669 FS 3 Technology in the Learning Environment Ready for Print

My AnalysisGive at least three benefits of doing a survey of available materials before making your own materials? Explain each.

1. Surveying available materials improves your motivation in making creative teaching aids for your discussion. In such a way, teaching aids support and facilitate learning’s to the pupils.

2. It gives you an idea what specific topic to be discussed, sometimes. Especially if we are tired, we cannot ready/prepare our lesson plan to be discussed. Through surveying available materials, we can get hint or idea what topic to be discussed that is suited for available materials.

3. It helps you decide what activities to be included depending upon the available resources suited to your specific topic. Yes, it is true for the fact that available learning resources gives you an idea what activities to be included that could facilitate

learning.

4. It lessens cost/expenditures in making visual aids because once you knew that there are visual aids appropriate for your topic, you don’t need to buy manila paper and ink for your pentel pen. The time and money spending will be lessened.

My Reflection1. Which of the materials did you like making the most? Why?

- The materials that I’d liked making the most were printed materials and cut-out letters. I liked it because it is my passion since high school in making printed materials, I was always then, selected as secretary in our classroom. I liked cutting letters though it was time-consuming but I enjoyed a lot.

2. What difficulties, if any, did you encounter in making the materials? How did you overcome them?

- I have not found difficulties in making printed materials. But in cutting letters, I found difficulties in folding and cutting letters since my hands shake when I was about to cut the letters.

3. What tips can you give teachers regarding preparation of teaching materials?

they should have decided the topic to be discussed before going to the learning resource center.b. Teachers should make teaching materials in a creative way, in order to get the attention of the pupils.

Page 36: 128208669 FS 3 Technology in the Learning Environment Ready for Print

c. Teachers should have a survey on the available resources in the learning center, to lessen the cost/expenditures in making visual aids if it is available.d. After knowing the available resources, they should decide what activities to be imposed using those available resources.

PERSONAL REFLECTION OF FS PORTFOLIO

FS portfolio is designed to exhibits Fs students works, their analysis, and their personal

reflections from their observation in field study activity. It focuses on how students acquire

knowledge and understanding in the process of learning to teach, and how they are acquired.

Thus, field study is a component of the new Pre-service Teacher Education Curriculum that

aims to explore the students to actual field experiences so that they can relate the theories

learned inside the classroom with those experiences. These off-classroom experiences would

emphasize the importance of understanding the complex work of the teacher in this era of

globalization.

Therefore, in this field study experiences we, as a pre-service teacher arrived at our

own analysis and reflection of what we have observed from the actual setting of teaching-

learning process. Our personal reflection played in the growth and development of us pre-

service teacher. Reflection allows us explore our experiences in order to arrive at new

understanding or insights. Thus, The field study experience is geared towards exactly this, to

give pre-service teachers the opportunity to learn through meaningful and systematic exposure

in actual settings.

Moreover, by this field study subject we are given an opportunity to experience the real

setting of teaching. In which we can therefore conclude that teaching is not an easy task.

Teachers need to be patient and flexible in dealing with the individual differences of the learners

to cope up and transform them into high competitive individual. With this experience, we were

able to come up what a teacher can be, should be, and must be.

My AnalysisAfter working on your slide presentation, answer the following questions:

What are the good features of a slide presentation?

The good features of a slide presentation are use links in the presentation, make the presentation not too long, keep it simple, include transitions/effects in your slide to put emphasis on your point, and use the same theme for the whole presentation.

My Reflections1 What difficulties, if any, did you encounter in making the slide presentation? How did

you overcome them?- In making a slide presentation the teacher should consider the learning process of the

students, it should be unique and at the same time creative in a way that the students can understand what you have made. For me, there is no such thing as difficulties in making a slide presentation as long as you strive hard or take an effort in doing that thing. In presenting your slide presentation, the teacher should consider also the interest of the students so that they will listen attentively and can catch the attention of the students. In making a slide presentation it also helps the teacher summarize all of his/her discussion and the length of the time required for discussion can be lessened. Instead of making a visual aid it is better to make a slide presentation to have an effective and good interaction with the students.

As a future teacher, I will do my very best in doing a slide presentation and can come up with a good presentation. It can help the students to take down notes while I’m discussing. For me, it is good to make a slide presentation to make your work faster and easier to handle.

3. List and describe at least 5 sites/interactive programs.

My MapFor this process, explore the world through these steps:

My ToolsPlease use the Class Observation Guide provided for you.

Class Observation Guide

1. Observe a class and take note of the topic being presented.

5. Reflect on your FS experience.

2. Surf the net to find sites that provide support materials and/or interactive programs (web quests/games) on the topic.

4. Evaluate the materials or programs.

Page 52: 128208669 FS 3 Technology in the Learning Environment Ready for Print

Read the following statements carefully before you observe.

1. What is lesson about? What are the teacher’s objectives?

The teacher discussed about the subject verb agreement. Her objective is after the lesson proper the students could use appropriate verb for a particularsubject in the sentence.

2. Note the important concepts that the teacher is emphasizing.

The teacher wants to emphasize the correct usage of verb for a particular subject. She also considers the rules in constructing a sentence using a correct subject and appropriate subject as well.

3. Note the skills that the teacher developing in the learners.She is developing the grammar capacity of the students and the learner.

My Analysis

Using the information you got from observing the class, surf the internet for electronic resources that will be useful in teaching the same lesson. Choose the most appropriate ones. Recall the guidelines you learned in Educational Technology about evaluating electronic resources. These guidelines will help you fill out the matrix below.

Grade/Year level of the Class: second year High school

Topic (of the class you observed) : Subject verb agreement

Objectives of the lesson: Correct usage of a verb in plural and singular subject

Name of Electronic Resource

Description of the Electronic Resource

How it can be used in the class you observed

Website:http://leo.stcloudstate.edu/grammar/subverag.html

It is an electronic gadgets that can be useful in discussion

It can assess the learning of the students

Page 53: 128208669 FS 3 Technology in the Learning Environment Ready for Print

My Reflections

1.Describe your experience in surfing the internet for appropriate electronic resources for the class? Did you find it easy or difficult?

On my experiences in surfing the net to find sites that provide support materials and interactive programs on my topic, I found out that it easy to get information about your topic because there is a website that can assist you in your field of specialization like in mathematics, the “the

virtual Math Lab”. I feel comfortable in searching information about my topic that I was observed. I saw and understand what is really the point of my topic and I learned how easily to come up about my topic.

1. How did you choose which electronic resources to include here? What you consider? Explain.I choose it by means of their specific functions and usage. I always consider the advantage and disadvantages of using them in school as learning resources.

2. Reflect on your technology skills. What skills do you already have and what skills would you continue to work on to be better at utilizing electronic resources?I already master the basic programming and all the basics in computer operation which is really helpful for me as a future mentor. I am literate in M.S Office application and other components that might be very helpful in teaching career like photo editing and web surfing and etc. Since everyday there is a change in technology, I prefer to study more regarding it.
