FS 1 11 Resources and ICT
SPARK Your Interest
With the lightning speed by which technology is evolving, and now with 4.0, technology
continues to be an ever-significant part of the learning environment. This episode provides an
opportunity for students to examine a Learning Resource Center or Multi-Media Center and
learn about its collection, services, equipment, observe how a teacher utilizes technology for
instruction, and explore resources in the virtual learning environment. Students will analyze
and reflect on how technology, including artificial intelligence, supports the teaching-learning
process.
TARGET Your Intended Learning Outcomes
At the end of this Episode, I must be able to:
 identify and classify learning resource materials in the multi-media center;
 show skills in the positive use of ICT to facilitate the teaching-learning process
(PPST 1.3.1);
 show skills in the evaluation, selection, development, and use of a variety learning
resources, including OCT to address learning goals (PPST 4.5.1);

REVISIT the Learning Essentials
UNESCO ICT Competency Framework for Teachers Version 3 (ICT CFT v3, 2018)
The Information and Communications Technology Competency Framework for Teachers
(ICT CFT) version 3 is a comprehensive framework guide teachers’ development on the
effective and appropriate use of ICT in education. It highlights what teachers should know
and do clustered in six aspects, namely: 1. Understanding ICT in Education, 2. Curriculum
and Assessment, 3. Pedagogy, 4. Application of Digital Skills, 5. Organization and
Administration, and 6. Teacher Professional Learning.
Similar to the PPST, the ICT CFT also articulated competencies in levels which guide
teachers as they develop their ICT skills from Level 1, Knowledge Acquisition, to Level 2,
Knowledge Deepening, and Level 3, Knowledge Creation. The Commission on Higher
Education Teacher Education Curricula (2017) includes the UNESCO ICT CFT so most
likely you have tackled this in your Technology for teaching and Learning classes.
It will be good to review the UNESCO ICT CFT v3 framework as you work as you
work in this episode. The activities here are meant for you to observe, analyze and reflect
about the competencies discussed in the framework. (Access it at

The Learning Resource Center
1. A school usually sets up a center that will provide valuable support to the teaching-
learning process. Over the years the name of this center has evolved. Some of the
names are Audiovisual Center, Media and Technology Resource Center, Teaching-
Learning Technology Department, or Simply Learning Resource Center.
2. With the swift development of ICT, the natural outcome was the ever-expanding
interface between the traditional library and ICT both in terms of hardware and
software systems and applications.
3. Schools may have different set-ups when it comes to a Learning Resource Center
(LRC). Some have replaced the term library with LRC. Some have separate library,
LRC, and Audio Visual or Media Center. Some only have the LRC both for teachers
and students. Still some have combined their learning centers with makes spaces.
4. The common purpose among these centers is to provide print audio-visual and ICT
resources to support the teaching-learning process.
5. The goals of the Center may include orienting and training teachers in the use of
audiovisual and ICT resources, working with teachers and administration in
producing instructional materials, making available useful resources to the students,
teachers, and the school community.
6. In order to support the philosophy and aims of the school, the Center must fulfill the
following functions: center of resources, laboratory of learning, agent of teaching,
service agency, coordinating agency, recreational reading center, and a link to other
community resources.

Technology Integration
The Technology Integration Mark provides a comprehensive framework for you to
define and evaluate technology integration. It will provide you direction and guide you in the
process of achieving effective teaching with technology. The teacher’s integration of
technology in instruction can be described as progressing in 5 levels: entry, adaption, infusion
and finally transformation.
The teacher also works at creating a learning environment that encourages and enables
quality technology integration. The interdependent characteristics of the learning
environment are being active, collaborative, constructive, authentic, and goal-directed.
The Technology Integration Matrix connects the Levels of Technology Integration and
the Characteristics of the Learning Environment. Examine the matrix below. To make you
understand how integration is done in each of the levels and environment, explore the TIM
website and learn from the many interesting videos showing technology integration. Go to

Evaluation of ICT Resources


The World Wide Web is like an endless network of information, ever-expanding a
almost limitless. Electronic resources come in different forms like websites, webquests,
blogs, social networks sites, on-line courses, a wide range of tools, and so many forms of
apps.
As a future teacher, one of the skills that will be most useful for you is the ability not
only to search information but to make decisions, as to which ones you will take as use and
which ones you will put aside. Aim to develop your skills in evaluating internet resources.
You will be able to choose the best resources that will help you attain your teaching-learning
objectives.
Below is a set of criteria which you can use to evaluate resources:
1. Accuracy. The resource material comes from a reliable source and is accurate, free
from error and is up-to-date.
2. Appropriateness. The resource is grade/level-appropriate. The content matches what
is needed by the teacher.
3. Clarity. The resource clearly address the instructional goals in mind.
4. Completeness. The content is complete. It has all the information needed to be able to
us them.
5. Motivation. The resource is engaging and rewarding to learners. It will encourage the
active participation of the learners.
6. Organization. The resource is logically sequenced. It clearly indicates which steps
should be taken. The procedures or processes flow smoothly.
(Based on the work of Fitzgerald, Mary Ann, Lovin, Vicki, &Branch, Robert Maribe
(2003). A Gateway to Educational Materials: An Evaluation of an Online Resource for
Teachers and an Exploration of User Behaviors. Journal of Technology and Teacher
Education. 11(1), 21-15).

Education 4.0
Shwab described the 4th wave of the industrial revolution. The unprecedented speed at which
technology is evolving has disrupted many vital processes that involved how we run
production, business and consequently how we teach and learn. The following Technology
trends have huge potential to transform the ways we teacxh and learn (UNESCO,
2018):
1. Open Educational Resources (OER). OERs are materials that can be used for
teaching and learning that do not require payment of royalties nor license fees. There
is an abundance of OERs in the form of textbooks course materials, curriculum maps,
streaming videos, multimedia apss, podcasts, and many others. They can have a
significant impact on education as they are made available and easily accessible in the
internet. Be sure to explore them to help you work on this episode.
2. Social Networks. Social networks have revolutionized the way we interact, learn
about things and share information. Sites and apps such as facebook, twitter,
Instagram provide a virtual venue for teachers and learners to work together interact
among themselves and with other classrooms locally and globally.
3. Mobile Technologies. Filipinos are one of the most active in the Internet, and also
one who sends the most number of text messages per day. This inidicates the high
number of mobile devices users. These devices can also be used as a learning tool byu
allowing teachers and students more opportunities to learn inside and even outside the
classroom.
4. The Internet of Things. IoT is a system of computing mechanism that become built-
in into many everyday things that allow sending and receiving data through the
internet. A lot of things have turned “smart.” We have smart cars that can navigate on
its own. Smart hoses that monitor temperature and light. Smart TVs that interface
with the internet. Watches that send our vital signs to our doctors. All ofthese
developments can influence the way we teach and learn.
5. Artificial Intelligence. Commonly Artificial intelligence is associated when
computers or machine simulate thinking and behaviors of humans such as talking,
learning and solving problems. Virtual assistants such as Siri, Alexa, Bixby and
Google assistant are near samples of AI. Among others, uses of AI in education can
be in the areas of gamification and adaptive instruction for learners with special
needs.
6. Virtual Reality and Augmented Reality. VR is a simulation of an environment by a
computer program that allows a person to visit and experience the environment
virtually. In AR, images from computer programs interlay with the actual views of the
real-world, resulting in an extended, expanded, or altered view of a real-world
environment. In education, among others, VR and AR programs and apps allow more
exciting ways of seeing and experiencing things that add to the motivation and
engagement of learners.
7. Big Data. Through the billions of interactions and transactions are done
electronically, and through the internet, an enormous amount of data is generated and
stored. The challenge is how to make sure of this data, through analytics and research,
possibly answer pertinent questions about how to make teaching and learning most
effective.
8. Coding. Coding is a skill necessary to create computer software, apps, and websites.
Today, there are learning programs that introduce coding activities as early as
kindergarten. Robotics programs in the elementary and secondary programs introduce
and hone the skills of young learners. Coding helps learners develop novel ways of
exploring and trying out ideas, especially when done with problem or project-based
learning approaches.
9. Ethics and Privacy Protection. We have repeatedly heard about how quickly
technology is changing and impacting our lives. Through all this, it is crucial to
ensure that human values and principles govern or guide our use of technology.
Ethical practices that protect the rights of every person need to be upheld.

ANALYZE
Are the learning resources/materials arranged properly according to their functions and
characteristics?
Yes, the learning resources/materials are properly structured and classified by category,
function, and qualities. Newspapers and magazines are separated from books at the library.
Even books are divided into categories based on their content.

Do the guidelines and procedures facilitate easy access to the materials by the teachers?
Why? Why not?
Yes, the policies and processes made it easier to access the materials. It not only outlines
correct library behavior, but also instructs borrowers on how to handle books and other
items. It directs users to the exact location of the book, making library use simple and
convenient.

What are the strengths of this Learning Resource Center?


The Learning Resource Center's strengths include providing required information to students
and teachers, motivating students to focus on their studies, and allowing students to conduct
research using their school computer.

What are its weaknesses?


They have a minimal number of books and a limited number of computers.

What suggestions can you make?


I believe it would be more beneficial to sell more books that are both inexpensive and
beneficial to pupils.
R REFLECT
1. Which of the materials in the Learning Resource Center your interest the most? Why?

I'd want to use the computer at the library and look up basic stuff on the internet. This peaked
my interest the most because we didn't have a computer in our primary school while I was in
elementary school.

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


Books and magazines are among the resources with which I am already familiar. They may
be found nearly everywhere in our library. It's quite simple to utilize them, which is why I'm
confident in my ability to do so.

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


I believe I should spend more time learning how to utilize a computer. They are quite useful
to my studies.

School: JAMN Christian Academy
Subject: Science Topic: Our Ears
Grade/Year Level: Grade 3

During our observation in a first-grade class, the teacher first goes through the
class's last meeting's topic. She then begins a new lecture on "Our Ears." She utilizes a laptop
and projector to show kids a large image of human ears so they can view and understand the
many components of our ears. Pupils take an active role in class discussions.

topic.

Use the Technology Integration Form to analyze the class you observed. Refer to the
Technology Integration Matrix on p.3. In which level of technology integration do you think
the teacher you observed operated? Why?
The resource teacher achieved the levels of entry, adoption, adaptation, infusion, and
transformation, according to the Technology Integration Matrix provided in the book. The
resource teacher employed technology, which included a laptop and a projector, from the
beginning of the class, beginning with prayer and the presentation of objectives, and then
allowing students to handle and operate the equipment with her as a guide to explain various
parts of the lesson.
Based on the Technology Integration Matrix, what is the characteristic of the learning
environment in the class that you observed? Point your observations that justify your answer.
Active: In the class where I observed the resource teacher, she let her pupils to control the
projector and laptop before and throughout her discussion of the lesson.
Collaborative: In the lesson I attended, the resource teacher divided her pupils into five
groups of five to present certain themes utilizing the technology she had provided, a laptop
and projector.
Constructive: The technology, which included a laptop and a projector, functioned as the
primary teaching aids of the resource teacher whom I saw, and so served as a source of
knowledge from which the students built their understanding.

Overall, were the learning resources used effectively? Why? Why not? Give your
suggestions?
Generally, I believe the resource teacher implements the learning materials well and
successfully since the learners prefer to interact and cooperate in her discussion and they
tend to concentrate on the projected power point presentation on the board. My only
recommendation is to utilize movement on the text that needs to be highlighted next time, and
to include other visuals, such as animal ears, if possible.

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

If I were in the position of a teacher, I would explore creative methods to actively engage the
learners in using learning materials. Similarly, to his strategy, I will employ instructional
materials that are relevant to the topic that I will be discussing in class to help the
learners learn more effectively. Alternatively, I will employ instructional resources to
improve her teaching technique. My educational materials should be visually appealing in
order to capture the attention of the pupils.

OBSERVE
Explore the Education 4.0 through these steps: 1. Observe a class and take note of the topic
being presented. 2. Surf the net to find sites that provide support materials and/or interactive
programs (web quests/games) on the topic. Try to ask Siri, Alexa; 3. List and describe at least
5 sites/interactive programs; 4. Evaluate the materials or programs; 5. Reflect on your FS
experience.
Class Observation Guide

Read the following statements carefully before you observe.

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

Our Ears was the topic of the lesson. The teacher's objective is for pupils to be able to
recognize and understand the functioning of the various parts of our ears.

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

The teacher is highlighting the need of memorizing the various functions of the
different components of the human ear.

3. Note the skills that the teacher is developing in the learners.

Accuracy, creativity, and intellectual curiosity are among the abilities that the teacher
is instilling in the students. All of these abilities are essential for the topics.
ANALYZE

R REFLECT
1. Describe your experience in surfing the internet for appropriate electronic resources
for the class? What made it easy? Difficult?

When searching the internet for appropriate electronic materials for the class, I must
first read the resource overview generated by Google. First, I must determine whether
it is relevant to my topic.

2. How did you choose which electronic resources to include here? What did you
consider? Explain. Which of the new trends in Education 4.0 would you like to
explore more for your works as a teacher? Why?

When selecting an online resource, there are several factors to consider. The first is
reliability. It entails selecting materials that have previously been demonstrated and
tested. Then there's the issue of appropriateness. There are numerous more items that
are unrelated and should not be included if you search on Google.

3. 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 education 4.0 resources?

If I were to assess myself, I would say that I already possess adequate computer abilities, as
well as the ability to access the internet and prepare various digital materials. On the other
hand, I need to keep practicing with various technological visual aids such as presentations,
etc.

R REFLECT
1. How can MOOCs help you in your future career as a professional teacher and as a
lifelong learner?

MOOCs have enabled me to discover as a future teacher that period has a significant
impact on our lives and, at the same time, our learning. We can learn more new
things through MOOCs, which will benefit us in our coaching-learning process. It is
more convenient for me as a future teacher to obtain knowledge while also allowing
me to improve my computer abilities by investigating online learning via MOOCs. It
is an academic direction content material that may help a lot of students if used
properly. MOOCs help me to show the prospect of having a superb education as a
lifelong learner. The knowledge I get through MOOCs will help me to become a more
informed person, and I plan to share it with my future college students. It also helps
me to become more prepared for my future career. I'll utilize it in my day-to-day
coaching for my college students to help them get a better education.

2. What did you learn from the way the providers use technology to teach in the
MOOCs?

One of the things I learned from the providers' use of generation to educate in
Massive Open-Online Courses (MOOCs) was that generation gives an opportunity for
a large number of people to receive an excellent education. Also, distance is no
longer a barrier to our ability to learn, thanks to technological advancements and, at
the same time, MOOCs. Because MOOCs are on-line courses that are available to a
group of people, it is more convenient to learn via MOOCs for those who have a
hectic job schedule and are unable to attend school. This course is available to
anybody, everywhere, as long as they have access to the internet. Despite the fact that
the courses are offered online, employees of the company create a learning network
by interacting with one another. MOOCs allow participants to test their
understanding of the things they covered, just like they would in a classroom, except
this time it will be done online. Through the use of generation, they also give feedback
on their members' overall performance.

3. How will you prepare yourself for MOOCs, as a learner, and as a teacher who may
someday teach a MOOC?

I shall prepare myself as a learner for Massive Open-Online Courses (MOOCs) by


following this path. I'll look at MOOC providers like Coursera, Edx, Udacity, Udemy,
Iversity, and others to learn more about this approach. I became familiar with their
programs as a result of my exploration of these publications. MOOCs will no longer
be as difficult for me to complete. After that, I arranged myself with the assistance of
reading these publications in order for the future trainer who may also teach MOOCs
with the aid of still utilizing it. By that time, I've promised myself that I'll have
improved my talents to be a more effective facilitator. As a result, I will aid my future
college students in properly studying. For me, the learning experiences of on-line
learning and traditional learning are identical. The only difference between the two is
the location. They are both encouraging members or newcomers to learn in different
ways. To put it briefly, it's not difficult to prepare ready for MOOCs because they're
identical to traditional but now with the aid of technology.
