Module-3-Final
Remillard& Heck (2014) as cited by Shukla (2019) defined IMs as resources that
organize and support instruction. Materials which are used primarily for educational purposes.
Definitely, these are the materials used in instructional activities, which include active learning
and assessment.
There are many types of instructional materials- non digital and digital. Thus, in this
module, let us explore their functionality by knowing them one by one, identify its effective use,
and its proper instruction integrate.

Psychologists, designers, educationalists, and many professors around the world work
on improving the quality of education because a lot depends on the education of a whole
generation. The resources a teacher uses while teaching play a role in how students learn.
Motivation, stimulation, retention, interest, actionable learning, etc., can vary based on how the
act of teaching occurs.

2. Complete the table that follows on the appropriate materials to be used based on a
specific topic.
Learning Areas:
Topics Sample Instructional Material
1. Develop a story board and working outline based on the subject goals and objectives.
3. The teacher may research off the shelf materials that have been developed by others to
determine if their approach could be useful.
6. If the instructional materials are effective, you can share them with other teachers.
1. Diorama
It will make the classroom to be creative and innovative. It is a fun way to build an
exciting scene in a small space. Dioramas are small scenes created of layers of materials, all
depicting a similar concept or theme. They usually display a historical time period, a nature
scene, or a fictional situation. In a developing diorama, you will: (1) choose a concept or theme,
(2) research the subject, (3) make a rough sketch of your ideal diorama, (4) make a list of the
items you’ll need and gather your supplies, and (5) select a container or box.
2. Nature Table
This is a table that contains objects and/or scenes related to the current season, or
upcoming festival or a symbol of an ecosystem. Children love to follow the natural changes that
the world offers each month and classroom decorations reflect these.
3. Writing Board
A writing board can display information written with chalk (chalkboard or blackboard) or
special pens (whiteboard). Although there are usually more effective methods of transmitting
information, the writing board is still the most commonly used visual aid.
4. Flip Chart
It is a large table or pad of paper, usually on a tripod or stand.
1. Use wide-tripped pens or markers; markers with narrow tips produce printing
what is difficult to read.
2. Print in block letters that are large enough to be read easily from the back of
the room.
3. Use different colored pens to provide contrast; this makes the pages visually
attractive and easier to read.
5. Zigzag Board
It is a multi-board series of three or four rectangular boards. They are joined together
along the sides by hinges so that they can be easily folded up and carried. Each board can be
of a different type, for example, a whiteboard, a chalkboard, a flannel board and so on. The size
of the boards for the zigzag multi-board depends on what you want to use them for.
6. Wall display
This board consists of two parallel, horizontal poles tied loosely together with rope.
Visual aids such as posters can be pinned to the rope. This kind of display board is invaluable
where there are few solid walls for displaying information. It has no solid backing and can be
made quickly for teaching, training and when working with communities.
1. Unity- Use only one idea for each visual aid and include a headline.
2. Simplicity- make ideas and relationships simple and easy to recall. Avoid
cluttering a visual with too many words, numbers, or graphics. The audience
should be able to grasp the concept in 10 to 15 seconds.
3. Legibility- Make letters big and readable for all in the audience.
4. Consistency- Use the same type style and art style.
5. Clarify- Avoid type that is too small to read; avoid all caps.
6. Quality- Make it neat and professional, and remember to proofread.

Lesson 2: Select and Use ICT Tools for Teaching and Learning
A great part of learning is working on information and using it to create something that
can be useful and edifying for humanity. Since the intention of education is to make learners
become useful and productive citizens, the use of ICT tools can provide a lot of possibilities on
how learners can do something with what they know. Teachers can therefore employ ICT tools
in their way of engaging learners by communicating, disseminating, and managing information.
This direction of integrating ICT tools will reveal the usefulness of employing ICT Tools in a
wider range of the teaching and learning process.
Lesson outcomes:
Look inside your house and find out the kind of gadgets or appliances you have. List them down
on your paper then answer the following questions.

2. Facebook
3. Vlog
4. Social media
5. Flexible learning
What will you do to engage student learning? Will you use technology? Why or why not?
If you will employ digital tools and gadgets such as mobile phone, iPad or tablet, or the
usual multimedia projector in teaching, how will you use them? In what way will you use blogs or
wiki space in your lesson? Can Facebook be useful in instruction?
As mobile learning becomes more and more prevalent, we must find effective
ways to leverage mobile tools in the classroom.
As always, the tool must fit the need. Mobile learning can create both the tool and the
need. With safe and specific structures, mobile learning tools can harness the excitement of
technology with the purpose of effective instruction. Using QR codes for instruction is one
example of this.
Using a combination of spacing as a type of Matrix Barcode (a 2-D Barcode), when a QR Code
is scanned, it conveys a wide multitude of information. QR Codes have a wide range of uses
across all types of industries such as retail, marketing, and logistics.
You can easily read QR codes through a QR code scanner. Here’s all you need to do:
Step 1: Be online.
Step 2: Search for a QR Code generator and ensure that you read the information about the
application. This is important to endure your safety in the internet. There are tons of QR code
generators out there but a few of the most popular include Kaywa, GOQR.me, Visualead, and
QR Stuff. There are many FREE applications online therefore you can take this chance to use
them.
Step 3: Once you have identified your free online QR Code Generator, you can now encode the
text or the information that you want.
Step 4: Run it and save it as a jpeg file. Now, you have successfully created your own code
which you can download.
You can enrich the content you teach in a class by using QR Codes that link to other
readings and resources. Yu can link to a pdf, a video production, a website, a document, or an
audio file among others.
2. Scavenger Hunt
Create an interactive classroom activity such as the Scavenger’s Hunt by using QR Codes
that provide directions or instructions resulting in better learner engagement.
3. Share Resources
Learners can use QR Codes to share educational resources with each other (e.g. lecture
notes, web content, how-to-do videos.)
Create QR Codes of students’ brief write-ups about why they enjoy their book and put
them right in our on the books in the class library. Students can use these QR Codes to find out
more about the books.
The QR Code can be used in giving instructions in class and pin them up inside the
classroom instead of providing them with thick copies of printed materials giving them
instruction on how to do an activity.
You can create surveys, polls, and forms using google form and share them with these
students as QR Codes which can be easily scanned and accessed.
A detailed instruction can be made into a QR Code which students scan at home and
use the information to help them comply with their assignments.
8. Research Project
Make sure students create QR Codes linking other resources and web content to their
research work.
You can share information to parents on school events or activities in school. You can
also put it in a webpage for parents to get information or include it in newsletters, permission
slips, etc. you can have them printed as magnets and parents can get the information. However,
be sure to orient the parents on how to use QR Codes.
Create QR Codes with URLs for students to gain easy access to online resources.
Sometimes when a long URL is given, learners may copy a broken URL version hence,
resources become inaccessible.
One tool that can be used in creating infographics is Canva (http://www.canva. com). It
has several infographics template for education. You can try out the free design elements and
produce one just like a professional infographic designer. You can start exploring this site and
familiarize yourself with its features. As a gentle reminder, please take time to read the
instructions and navigate around the features to get optimal use of it.
There are so many ways for which infographics can be used.
Using infographics:
Infographics are highly useful for presenting results gathered from survey data. Statistics and
numbers can overwhelm a lot of audiences, and therefore lose much of their significance. When
organized in an infographic it becomes much easier to quickly draw meaning from data, as is
evident in the example below.
It’s clear that design is “Very Important” to businesses (data that supports the need for
infographics!) and that blue is the color most associated with success. Had this information
been presented in a spreadsheet they would have most likely been much less impactful and not
as easily understood upon first glance.
The core purpose of an infographic is to simplify a complex idea which makes them
great educational tools, especially when presenting an overview of a topic instead of an in-depth
analysis.
In addition to simplifying complex ideas, infographics are often used to reveal the
mechanics behind how intricate objects work.
Skilled designers can create infographics that pull apart complex products like cameras,
iPhones, and clocks, and graphically explain their core features. The simplicity of the designs
makes it easier to explain the function of each piece. In the example below, designer Jing
Zhang went so far as to add an element of fantasy to each product, feeding into the reader’s
imagination while accurately revealing how they work.
4. To Compare
2. Using the PC, laptop or mobile phone, search for Canva, Vismen, or Venngage
among others.
3. Create or sign up an account if you still do not have one in order to design your
own infographics.
4. Procedure:
Step 1: Choose the most suitable template for your use from the library.
Step 2: You may use images from their file or upload your own pictures.
Step 5: You may change the color of boxes and the text suit your style and add stunning filters
to add flair.
Creativity and collaboration are fun! A dull and boring bulletin board can be made
interesting when done online. Posts when done with themed backgrounds, stylish fonts and
varied colors become attractive to learners. An online bulletin board is a way of presenting ideas
with a twist and interest with no cost at all. Here’s how:
Step 3: If you want to make your own, click the MAKE A PADLET.
3. Make your posts as creative as you can by clicking modify and selecting your
choice of color, font, theme, etc.
4. You can now share your Padlet or online bulletin board to your friends. Click
share and allow others to have access to it or you can share through the social
media account where others can view it.
Step 4: If you want to join someone’s bulletin board, click Join a Padlet.
5. Enter in the dialog box the URL of the padlet you want to join.
Below is an example.

Lesson outcomes:
Open your bag. How organized is it? Is everything kept in right location? Can you easily
locate what you are looking for? Does it have pockets to keep your things? A cluttered bag
reflects a disorganized owner.
Learning is likened to it. If ideas are organized in a good location, learning is surely
easier and meaningful.

On your Own….
The ePortfolio can be private or can be published and shared to stakeholders like
parents and friends.
1. Student ePortfolio can evaluate students’ academic progress. They can inform the
teacher to adapt and use the instructional strategies when pieces of evidences indicate
that they are either learning or not. In the other words the construction of ePortfolios
should start from the beginning and should be an ongoing process. They should not be
reviewed only at the end of the term but navigated around and provided feedback to let
the students know how they are doing.
2. Monitoring students’ progress can be highlighted in a portfolio. It may not only contain
finished products but also several versions on how the students improved their works
based on the feedback provided by mentors. Moreover, portfolios can actually determine
whether the students have transferred what they have learned in the new projects or
other domains,
3. Portfolios document students’ learning growth. They actually encourage the students’
sense of accountability of their own learning process. This may lead them to see that the
learning process is theirs and not anybody else’s. This can make learners reflect form
where they have begun to how far they developed. When they make decisions on what
or what not include, they get engage in the process of creating their own voice in their
portfolio.
There are many sites that can be used in creating an ePortfolio. One of which is the google site.
If you have a google account, you can start using the available applications. You can also try
weebly, or wix, among others.
1. Enter your Gmail account and look for sites. If it is the first time that you have done this,
you need to read the directions.
2. You scroll down and read further until you see the icon for Sites.
3. When you click it, it will lead you to another section. This will let you create a site that
you can use as an ePortfolio.
4. Consider a good label or a title for your ePortfolio and prepare the text, links, multimedia
outputs, images or jpeg files that you want to upload in the pages of the ePortfolio.
Parts of an ePortfolio
Home Page
The first section is the Home or your cover page. This is the first thing that your readers
will see. So you need to introduce yourself and the objectives of your ePortfolio. Usually, there
are templates available and each provides sections. You can add personal touches such as
images or a change or color themes.
Pages
The pages that you can add depend on how you would like to organize your ePortfolio.
What is important that is you need to construct your ePortfolio at the start of the class? In that
way, you can have a fresh start as you try to be conscious in documenting the activities and
learning that goes with each session.
When adding pages, click the icon and decide whether it will be parallel to your Home
Page or it will be under it. Just remember that when you have template, there are particular
ways that the pages have been arranged. So, if you are starting, it would not be detrimental if
you conform to the template.
REFLECTION
A major element in a portfolio whether it is online or not, is the writing of the reflection. It
is thinking – aloud, a way your documentation what they are thinking. How students are
processing the input and the application of what they have learned into an activity or a project
needs to be captures. With the pencil – and – paper test, the chance to get a piece of their
insights or realization may be nil unless the teacher requires them to do so. However, with the
portfolio, they can show the process of their work. This can be easily monitored.
Sometimes it is difficult to write a reflection and a structure can be helpful. There are
many models that can be used as a guide in writing reflections, one is the Gibbs’s reflective
cycle model (1988).
Description
What happened?
Analysis Feelings
What are youthinking
What sense can and feeling?
you make of the
situation?
Conclusion Evaluation
What else could you What was good and
have done? bad about the
experience?
Action plan
If it arose again,
What would you do?
Description. This initial phase is writing a reflection is very simple since you just need to
describe the activity or the experience to the reader. You can write a little about the background
what you are reflecting about by including relevant and to – the – point details.
Evaluation. When evaluating, discuss how well you think the activity went. Recall how
you reacted to the task or situation and how others reacted. Was the experience a pleasant one
or otherwise? This is also a possible part where you can perhaps incorporate related reading of
other author’s principles or theories.
Analysis. This part of the write up includes your analysis of what worked well and what
have facilitated it or what may have hindered it. You can also discuss related literature that may
have brought about your experience.
Conclusion. Now, you can write what you have learned from the experience or what
you could have done. If your experience is a good one, you can probably discuss how it can be
ensured or how you will further enhance a positive outcome. On the other hand, if the
experience is frustrating eliciting other negative feelings, perhaps you can discuss how those
can be avoided in happening as this leads to the next step – Action Plan.
Action Plan. At the end of your reflection, you write what action you need to take so that
you will improve the next time such as consult an expert for some advice or read a book that will
provide answers to your queries. You make plans on how you can address what went wrong so
that you can take the right step to succeed in achieving the task. If you did well and feel good
about it, then you can plan out how you can further enhance a good work.
When showing examples of your work, you can upload word file, excel data, pictures,
jpg, or pdf files, powerpoint presentation among others but, a brief description explains the
reason why the file is uploaded has to be written. This will guide the reader as you also reflect
on how relevant and significant the materials are to you.
What is great about writing a reflection is it allows you to embrace your own learning and start
taking accountability of it. After all, you owe it to yourself and no matter what the teacher does
inside the classroom, as a learner you can make a decision whether you want to learn or not.
With an ePortfolio, you try to capture your personal journey of learning.
(Adapted from: Gibbs, G. (1988) Learning by doing: a guide to teaching and learning methods,
Oxford: Further Education Unit.)
Before publishing your ePortfolio for the world to see your work, you can control who can
see your work. The icon for sharing the site can managed by entering the email address of the
person with whom you want to share it.
Students can see connections between learning (what will be taught) and assessment
(what will be evaluated) by making the feedback the receive from teaches clearer, more
detailed, and more useful in terms of identifying and communicating what students have learned
or what they may still need to learn.

TOTAL:
1. Create a Home Page and at least two other pages. Decide what the other two pages of
your class site will be for and label each one.
2. Be sure to introduce each page and upload materials as well.
3. Share your ePortfolio with others. To allow them to enter your site, click Share or
Sharing and Permission. Publish or open your site and your ePortfolio for the whole
world to see. When you finally Publish, the moment you check Google, you can be
seen through your ePortfolio. In other words, you can be goggled.
4. So just a precaution, when you are still building your ePortfolio, you may limit access to
it. Consider fine-tuning the whole material by editing and checking upload materials.
These may need proper citations of resources, too.

The students of the millennium age are another sort of breed and it is significant that instructors
see how to manage them. They appear to flourish in synergistic learning. They like to associate
with the long range interpersonal communication locales. Making and creating something are
what they want to do instead of become buyers of data inside the classroom they like to be
portable either truly or for all intents and purposes as they navigate from highlight point or site to
site. Obviously they appear to contribute a colossal measure of their time in an advanced social
condition in spite of the fact that they can be increasingly self-guided in picking what they need
to realize, how they need to learn and when they need to learn.
Lesson outcomes:
1. Identify and explored collaborative tools application that can be integrated in instruction
2. Built a platform or an online account that can be used for a collaborative

learning encounters to address the issues everything being equal.
Our schools, junior colleges, and colleges ought to be hatcheries of investigation and
development. Instructors ought to be associates in getting the hang of, looking for new
information and continually obtaining new abilities close by their understudies. Training pioneers
should set a dream for making learning encounters that give the correct devices and supports
for all students to flourish.

Key benefits and features of using email
a. It's quick – your recipient receives your email as soon as they go online and collect their
mail.
b. It's secure.
c. It's low cost.
d. Photos, documents and other files can be attached to an email, so that more information
can be shared.
e. One email can be sent to more than one recipient at a time.
Writing an e-mail
When writing an e-mail message, it should look something like the example window below.
As you can see, several fields are required when sending an e-mail:
The To field is where the e-mail address of the person receiving the e-mail is placed.
If you are replying to a message, the To: and From: fields are automatically filled out. If
it's a new message, you'll need to specify the recipients in the To: field, either by selecting them
from your contact list, or manually typing the full email addresses. If you enter more than one
recipient (e.g., group e-mail), the addresses should be separated by a comma and a space, or
by pressing the Tab key.
The Subject should consist of a few words describing the e-mail's contents. The subject
lets the recipient see what the e-mail is about, without opening and reading the full e-mail. This
field is optional.
The CC ("Carbon Copy") field allows you to specify recipients who are not direct
addressees (listed in the "To" field). For instance, you can address an e-mail to Jeff and CC
Linda and Steven. Although the e-mail is addressed to Jeff, Linda and Steven also receive a
copy and everyone can see who received the e-mail. This field is optional.
The BCC ("blind carbon copy") field is similar to CC, except the recipients are secret.
Each BCC recipient will receive the e-mail, but will not see who else received a copy. The
addressees (anyone listed in the "To" field) remain visible to all recipients. This field is optional.
Finally, the Message Body is the location you type your main message. It often contains
your signature at the bottom; similar to a handwritten letter.
As mentioned earlier, an e-mail must have a username followed by @ (the at sign) which
is followed by the domain name with a domain suffix.
The username cannot be longer than 64 characters long, and the domain name cannot
be longer than 254 characters.
The username and e-mail addresses as a whole cannot begin or end with a period.
Advantages of e-mail
There are many advantages of e-mail and the usage of e-mail versus postal mail. Some of
the main advantages are listed below.
Free delivery - Sending an e-mail is virtually free, outside the cost of Internet service.
There is no need to buy a postage stamp to send a letter.
Global delivery - E-mail can be sent to nearly anywhere around the world, to any
country.
Instant delivery - An e-mail can be instantly sent and received by the recipient over the
Internet.
File attachment - An e-mail can include one or more file attachments, allowing a person
to send documents, pictures, or other files with an e-mail.
Long-term storage - E-mails are stored electronically, which allows for storage and
archival over long periods of time.
Environmentally friendly - Sending an e-mail does not require paper (paperless),
cardboard, or packing tape, conserving paper resources.
Chat etiquette
Below is a short list of chat etiquette that should be followed when chatting with others online.
1. Behave the same way you would when talking to someone in real-life.
2. Avoid chat slang.
3. Try your best to spell all words correctly and use proper punctuation.
4. Remember no one is perfect, spelling errors and other mistakes are common in chat.
5. Do not WRITE IN ALL CAPS as it makes you appear as you're yelling.
6. Do not send other chat users private messages without asking them first.
7. Abide by the rules created by those running the chat.
8. When first joining a chat with multiple people, watch the conversation for a few minutes
before chiming into someone else's conversation.
Below are our recommendations for staying safe in chat and security suggestions to follow
when participating in online chat.
1. Never give your full name, address, phone, e-mail, or personal information over chat.
Especially if it's a public chat that everyone can read. If absolutely needed, you can send
a PM (private message) or DM (direct message).
2. Never accept files from others in chat.
3. If you're chatting to find help with your computer, and someone wants to remotely
connect to your computer to help you fix a problem, be extremely cautious. Understand
that if you allow them to remotely connect, they can access, modify, create, or destroy
any information on your computer.
A blog is an online diary or journal located on a website. The content of a blog typically
includes text, pictures, videos, animated GIFs and even scans from old physical offline diaries
or journals and other hard copy documents. Since a blog can exist merely for personal use,
sharing information with an exclusive group or to engage the public, a blog owner can set their
blog for private or public access.
When a blog is made publicly accessible, anyone can typically find the blog through links
available on the blog owner’s individual or business website, their social media profiles, emails
and e-newsletters and online keyword search engines. Many blog owners also set up blogs on
websites devoted to the creation, storage and sharing of blogs, such as Blogger, LiveJournal,
Tumblr and WordPress.
Blog content can appear as posts on one continuous streaming page or posts on
individual pages reachable through one or more pages set up in a list-style format as post title
links, excerpts and related tags. All posts or links to posts are typically displayed to readers in
reverse chronological order with the most recent content appearing first.
A wiki is a Web site that allows users to add and update content on the site using their
own Web browser. This is made possible by Wiki software that runs on the Web server. Wikis
end up being created mainly by a collaborative effort of the site visitors. A great example of a
large wiki is the Wikipedia, a free encyclopedia in many languages that anyone can edit. The
term "wiki" comes from the Hawaiian phrase, "wiki wiki," which means "super fast." I guess if
you have thousands of users adding content to a Web site on a regular basis, the site could
grow "super fast."
Real-time collaboration is a term used for software or technologies that allow multiple
users to work together on a project in real time, or simultaneously. Challenges related to real-
time collaboration involve making files commonly available to multiple users in different
locations, and allowing these users to communicate without signal delays.
e. A software that allows several people to write/ edit same documents in real
time
f. Visualise many students writing on same slate
g. Can be used
Concept maps are visual representations of information. They can take the form of
charts, graphic organizers, tables, flowcharts, Venn Diagrams, timelines, or T-charts. Concept
maps are especially useful for students who learn better visually, although they can benefit any
type of learner. They are a powerful study strategy because they help you see the big picture—
because they start with higher-level concepts, they help you chunk information based on
meaningful connections. In other words, knowing the big picture makes details more significant
and easier to remember.
Concept maps work very well for classes or content that have visual elements or in times when
it is important to see and understand relationships between different things. They can also be
used to analyze information and compare and contrast.
Project management has final deliverables that are constrained to a finite timescale and
budget.
The term “web conferencing” encompasses collaboration technologies that enable users
to place calls via an application over the internet, through software downloaded locally to a
computer or device, or in an on-premises environment.
Direction: Identify the type of tool being described in the following sentences and write your
answer on the blank provided.
_____________________1.These tools are especially useful for project teams that are not co-
located, or who do a significant portion of their work at a distance. They allow teams to share
work in progress, discuss concepts with the help of rich media, and exchange information and
ideas in a manner that more closely approximates the face-to-face experience than traditional
text-only communications.
For you to deepen your knowledge, skills and understanding the tool/technology that you
are using in the modern world, you need to make a blog with content. Your task is to have a
research, find as well and watch video presentations relating to this activity.

Digital Literacies are the individual’s capabilities to be able to effectively and responsibly
function and perform in a digital society. The term “digital literacy” was coined by Paul Gilster in
1997 an it came from the discussion of the concepts on (a) visual literacy when images and
non0- verbal symbols try to capture the knowledge; (b) technological literacy requiring one to
be able to use technology in addressing a need; (c) computer literacy, which in the 1980s
started to become a household item manipulated to achieve one’s target; and (d) information
literacy which refers to the finding, evaluating, using and sharing of information.
