PRESENTING DIGITAL AND NON-DIGITAL INSTRUCTIONAL MATERIALS

My Aims/Purposes

At the end of the activity, I should be able to:

a. identify the most commonly used instructional materials

b. explain extensively the difference between digital and non-digital instructional
materials.
c. practice skills learned in virtual class e.g. Microsoft office skill, image editing, and
creating and curating content and others.
d. use the digital and non-digital instructional materials in conjunction with my
lesson plan content in a way that makes my students the drivers of their own
learning, and
e. reflect on the important use of the non-digital and digital materials for effective
teaching and learning process.

Introduction:

One of the major key components that foster conducive and facilitating learning
environment is the teacher’s effective management of instructional materials in educative
process. In fact, instructional materials provide alignment and systematic system in the process
of teaching. This simply means, quality learning tools, technologies and resources to teaching is
highly equitable and accessible to the needs and interest of the students depending also to the
present situation nowadays.

Moreover, instructional materials support expanded community and international

improvement in learning whether face to face or online (Prieto 2002). That’s why it is
imperative the most that a teacher must be knowledgeable and skillful in using instructional
materials whether it is digital or non-digital teaching resources.

In addition, a teacher must be adaptive and innovative in designing his/her instructional

skills specially in this present situation. Hence, Ayas (2006) purported that the tools of
technology are becoming part of the way teachers teach and learners learn today.

My Observation (Reflection and Insights)

Directions: Observe a teacher conducting the class and answer the following questions.

A. Based on your observation, what are the digital and non-digital instructional
materials that are still relevant today and how are they used in a classroom?

subject.

B. Changes are inevitable, teaching and learning processes including instructional

materials are not spared. The advancement of technology in education is of great
significance especially to teachers and learners. Likewise, we cannot escape the use of
conventional instructional materials. Explain the difference between digital and non-
digital teaching- learning resources and how you create or develop them?

The term "digital learning materials" (sometimes referred to as "e-

learning materials") refers to educational resources that have been
published online. Examples include electronic textbooks, electronic
workbooks, educational films and images, electronic tests, and other
items. On the other hand, as the name suggests, non-digital teaching
learning materials are those that were created or used by a teacher or
other person without the aid of digital technology.

10
 To communicate with students in a more vivid manner, a teacher
can employ instructional resources as alternate channels of
communication. In a teaching-learning setting, they represent a variety of
materials that can be utilized to "extend the range of vicarious
experiences" for students. The only thing I need to do to execute the
usage of these tools is to facilitate whether they are actually beneficial or
appropriate to use in a certain topic. With this in mind, it is my
responsibility as a 21st-century educator to teach students and transform
them into their genuine potential. For me to connect with my kids, I need
to learn how to be a digitally savvy teacher. In order to fit in with the
group and ensure that I can teach the students in a relevant way, I need
to be up to date.

Usually, during online classes, instructional materials act as a conduit

between the teacher and the students to give lessons. They could also
provide encouragement for the teaching and learning process. Numerous
educational resources are available on several websites, including
Mentimeter, Jamboard, and Kahoot. To keep kids' attention and prevent
boredom, we can also employ PowerPoint presentations, photos, and
movies. Teachers rely on instructional materials in every element of their
lessons since they are so crucial to learning. They require resources to

provide background knowledge on the subject they are teaching. The
purpose of instructional materials is to grab students' attention, facilitate
learning content, and enable active participation throughout the class. The
purpose of educational materials is to give students facts and knowledge so
they can better understand the subject. The use of multimedia in
instructional resources, such as sound clips, video, graphics, hands-on
activities, and interactive games, enables teachers to keep students'
attention and reinforce key topics. These products have multiple
presentations to help reach all pupils because there are several learner
types, such as auditory and visual learners.
One of our responsibilities as educators in this crisis is to make
studying more enjoyable and fruitful, even in online classes. To facilitate
this, instructional materials are quite beneficial. To properly use all the
supporting information, we need to be digitally literate when accessing
various websites and programs. To learn more about the various teaching
tools we might utilize, we can watch YouTube lessons, go to seminars, and
exchange ideas with other colleagues.

used in the teaching learning process.

 My Exhibit (Evidence/Documentation)

1. After dealing with the different instructional materials, which is more valuable,
digital/ modern learning materials or non-digital/traditional learning materials?
Why?

Must have
 2 photos using digital IMs during class instruction
 2 photos using non-digital IMs during class instruction

I may claim that digital and modern learning materials are the more beneficial
educational resources in the  current day when technology is used for almost everything.
Technology has without a doubt altered the world in which we live. The development of
new technologies has changed the globe. I can speak from experience as a pre-service
teacher when I say that using digital IMs in class is a great way to increase student
engagement. In addition, through the use of different websites and applications, the
teacher can choose from a variety of activities and games that can be implemented during
the class. Moreover, the teacher should be digitally literate and choose instructional
materials that are appropriate for the subject matter and also appropriate for the learner’s
capacity or levels of learning.

Teaching is a complete package, and since teachers run the classroom, they make
the greatest instructional materials. According to the proverb, "You are the captain of your
mind and the master of your soul," the teacher is the captain of the classroom because
they shape students' minds to become competent, self-sufficient people who strive for
perfection. Master of the classroom due to his ability to provide  constructive criticism and
help pupils reach their full potential by preparing their minds for future possibilities. For the
students to gain confidence and master the material, it is crucial to use a variety of
strategies and techniques to make learning effective and relevant.
