Lesson 1
Development and Use
of Non-digital or
Conventional Materials
Instructional Materials
• this are the supplementary materials,
which help the teacher to make his/her
presentation concrete, effective,
interesting, meaningful, and inspiring.
Instructional
Materials
• are great help in stimulating
and facilitating the learning of
the learners.
Effiong & Igiri 2015
Instructional materials are defined
as print and non-print items that are
rested to impact information to
students in the educational process.
Haigler 2014
Instructional Materials refers to any
preexisting materials that are being
incorporated, as well as to those that
will be specifically developed for the
objectives.
Several factors to consider in
developing instructional materials:
1. Develop a story board and working
outline based on the subject goals and
objectives.
2. Identify existing institutional resources
including materials and teachers
capability.
3. The teacher may research off the shelf
materials that have been developed by others
to determine if their approach could be
useful.
4. Explore the possibility of adopting
concepts of other teachers without infringing
on anyone’s copy protected design.
5. Modify existing materials based on the
objectives of the lesson.
6. If the instructional materials are effective,
you can share them with other teachers.
7. The teacher developer can also sell
his/her materials available.

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.

[Link] AND POLE DISPLAY
BOARD
This board consist of two
parallel, horizontal poles tied
loosely together with rope. This
kind of display board is
invaluable where there are few
solid walls for displaying
information.
Guidelines when designing conventional
instructional materials:
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. The learners
should be able to grasp the concept in 10-
15 seconds.
Guidelines when designing conventional
instructional materials:
3. Legibility - Make letters big and readable
for all audience.
4. Consistency- Use same type style and art
style.
5. Clarity - Avoid type that is too small to
read; avoid all caps.
Guidelines when designing conventional
instructional materials:
6. Quality - Make it neat and professional,
and remember to proofread.
Lesson 2
Select and Use
ICT Tools for
Teaching and Learning
ICT
ICT stands for Information and
Communications Technology. This refers to
various tools and devices or gadgets used in
communicating, disseminating, creating,
storing and managing information. It is
important that learners understand how to
use these tools in helping them learn.
The current systems employ
technologies by integrating ICT tools
and applications in education and in
instruction. It is important that learners
understand how to use these tools in
helping them learn.
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 ways 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.
"Technology will never replace great
teachers, but technology in the hands of
great teachers is transformational."

Japanese corporation Denso-
Wave in 1994. Effectively and
efficiently connecting the
physical world with the
electronic world, QR stands for
Quick Response.
QR Code
It allows the readers to decode the
information at a high rate of speed. This is
popular in Japan and it is also used by
companies as they attach their QR code in
their products. It usually gives a URL linking
you to a website or immediately provides the
salient information about the product.

Ten Interesting Ways
to Integrate QR Codes in
Your Teaching
Create Interactive and Engaging Content
You can enrich the content you teach
in a class by using QR Codes that link
to other readings and resources. You
can link to a pdf, a video production, a
website, a document, or an audio file
among others.
Scavenger Hunts
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
Share Resources
Learners can use QR Codes to share
educational resources with each other
(e.g. lecture notes, web content, how-
to-do videos.
Enhance Classroom Library
Create QR Codes of students brief
write-ups about why they enjoy their
book and put them right in or on the
books in the class library. Students can
use these QR Codes to find out more
about the books.
Use in Classroom Activities
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.
Provide Help With Homework
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.
Communicate with Parents or Partners
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. Be sure
to orient the parents on how to use QR
Codes.
Gather Students Feedback
You can create surveys, polls, and
forms using google form and share
them with students as QR Codes which
can be easily scanned and accessed.
Research Project
Make students create QR Codes
linking other resources and web
content to their research work.
Provide Easy Access to Online Content
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.
Using Laptops
and the
Infographics
In the teaching and learning
context, you may be faced with a
challenging topic given a short
amount of time. How can you
capture and deliver that
information simply and effectively
while making it engaging and
informative as well?
What is an
Infographics
An infographic is a visual representation or
an image such as a diagram, chart or
picture representing information or data. It
is eye-catching and makes use of a clear
layout, attractive colors and hues, and
caricatures that provide a cohesive
presentation of the information.
There are many
ways on which
Infographics
can be used:
[Link] present survey
data
Presenting statistical data such as from
surveys can be overwhelming,
Infographics can be highly useful. Data
are much easier to decode. They can be
made easier and quicker to understand if
they are presented in an infographics.
[Link] simplify a complex
concept
Simplifying a complex idea is the
core purpose of using an
infographics. This is a very effective
educational tool as a way of
summarizing key points or providing
an overview of a lesson.
[Link] explain how something
functions
Using infographics, you can show the
intricacy of how something complex works.
It can reveal the mechanics behind how an
object works. Designers can create
infographics by showing the mechanics
behind intricate objects, processes,
concepts.
[Link] compare
Presenting information by highlighting
similarities and differences through a
visual parallel in an infographic can turn
out more effective than sometimes
expressing it in words. It is easier to
draw comparisons with the same
information neatly organized.
[Link] present interesting
facts
When information or facts are presented all
in words, the use of infographies can bring
life. If done well, the infographies can
transform the information into visual image
that can attract and engage readers.
How to make your
own Infographics
You need the following
1. You need to be online.
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 3: Make a cohesive layout
containing correct and essential
information
Step 4: You can choose a background
and font styles.
Step 5: You may change the color of
boxes and the text to suit your style and
add stunning filters to add flair
Step 6: Save the image of the
infographics.
Step 7: Share the infographic you have
created
