LESSON 1. MEANING OF EDUCATIONAL TECHNOLOGY
I. Objective
1. Define educational technology.
Answer:
Answer:
Now a day’s people all around the world tried to invent using their brilliant
minds different things that will help satisfy the need and desires of all human
beings. This invention is already part of the technology. The invention does
not actually require to be new always but even those previously invented
were still part of the process and it is still being used and very useful most
especially in teaching students in the 21st century.
3. Read the meaning of Educational Technology (Abstractive)
a. Take note of different meaning of educational technology.
Answer:
Educational Technology
The word “technology” comes from the Greek word techne which means craft
or art-based on the etymology of the word “technology”, the term
educational; technology, therefore, refers to the arts or craft of responding to
our educational needs.
Many people think that technology refers only to machines such as
computers, tv, videos, and the like. All these form part of technology but
technology is all these and more!
It is a “planned, systematic method of working to achieve planned outcomes
—a process not a product. Technology is that applied side of scientific
development. “(Dale,1969) technology also refers to any valid and reliable
process or procedure that is derived from basic research using the scientific
method. (http://en.wikipedia.org?
wiki/Educational_technology#Perspectives_and_meanig) technology refers
to “all the ways people use their interventions and discoveries to satisfy their
educational needs and desires” (The World Book Encyclopedia, Vol. 19).
So, educational technology refers to how people use their interventions and
discoveries to satisfy their educational needs and desires, i.e., learning.
Educational Technology is “a complex, integrated process involving people,
procedures, ideas, devices, and organization for analyzing problems and
devising, implementing, evaluating and managing solutions to those
problems, involved in all aspects of human learning.” (Association for
Education Communications and Technology, 1997.
Educational technology “consists of the design and environments that engage
learners and reliable technique or method for engaging learning such as
cognitive learning strategies and critical thinking skills “(David H. Jonassen,
et al. 1999).
Educational Technology is a theory about how problems in human learning
are identified and solved, (David H. Jonassen, Kyle L. Peck, Brent G. Wilson,
1999). As a theory, educational technology has an “integrated set of
principles that explain and predict observed events.”
Educational Technology is a field involved in applying a complex, integrated
process to analyze and solve problems in human learning (David H. Jonassen,
et al. 1999).
Educational Technology is a field study which is concerned with the practice
using educational methods and resources for the ultimate goals of facilitating
the learning process (Lucido and Borabo, 1997). As a field, it operated with
the total field of education.
Is a profession like teaching, it is made up of organized effort to implement
the theory, intellectual technique, and practical application of education
technology (David H. Jonassen, et al. 1999).
b. Technology in Education – is the application of technology to any process
involved in operating the institutions which house the educational enterprise.
c. Instructional Technology – is a part of educational technology. It refers to those
aspects of educational technology that “are concerned with instructions as
contrasted to designs and operations of educational institutions. Teaching in terms
of specific objective” Lucido and Borabo, 1997)
d. Technology Integration – means using “Learning technologies to introduce
reinforce, supplement and extend skills.” It is also a part and parcel of instructional
technology, which in turn is part of educational technology.
e. Educational Media – are channels or avenues or instruments of communication.
Examples are books, magazines, newspapers, radio, television and internet.
Which of the term above are very much related to educational technology?
Answer:
The term educational technology, instructional technology, technology and
educational media are all related to each other because this are all tools in
order to make learning possible and effective. The most related are
instructional technology and technology integration because it is part of the
technology in education.
Which one is least related?
Answer:
The least related is the educational media. This educational media are those
physical or visible objects that are also very important in the learning
process.

Technology in Teaching
LESSON 4-SYSTEMATIC APPROACH TO TEACHING
I. OBJECTIVES
1. Explain what a systematic approach to teach.
The broad definition of educational technology encompasses systems or
designs of instruction. In this lesson, let’s discuss a symbol system or a
systematic approach to instruction.
As depicted in the chart, the focus of systematic instructional planning is the
student. Instruction begins with the definition of instructional objectives that
consider the students’ needs, interest, and readiness. On the basis of this
objective, the teacher selects the appropriate teaching methods to be used
and, in turn, based on the teaching method selected, the appropriate learning
experiences and appropriate materials, equipment and facilities will also be
selected.
The use of learning materials, equipment and facilities necessitates assigning
the personnel to assist the teacher and defining the role of any personnel
involved in the preparation, setting and returning of this learning resources.
(in some school settings, there is a custodian/ librarian who takes care of the
learning resources and / or technician who operates the equipment while
teacher facilitates.) the effective use of learning resources is dependent in the
expertise of the teacher, motivation of level or responsiveness, and the
involvement of the students in the learning process. With the instructional
objectives in mind, the teacher implements planned instructions with the use
of the selective teaching method, learning activities, and learning materials
with the help of other personnel whose role has been defined by the teacher.
Will the teacher use direct instruction or indirect instruction? Will he /she
teach using the deductive or inductive approach? It depends on his / her
instructional objectives, nature of the subject matter, and readiness of
student and the expertise of the teacher himself or herself.
Examples of learning activities that the teacher can choose from, depending
on his/her instructional objectives, nature of the lesson content, readiness of
the student are reading, writing, interviewing, reporting, or doing
presentation, discussing, thinking, reflecting, dramatizing, visualizing,
creating judging and evaluating.
Some examples of learning resources for instructional use are textbooks,
workbooks, programmed materials, computer, television programs, flat
pictures, slides and transparencies, maps, charts, cartoons, posters,
models, mockups, flannel, board materials, chalk boards, real
objects, and the like.
After instructions, teacher evaluates the outcome of instruction. From the
evaluation results, teacher comes to know if the instructional objective was
attained. If the instructional objective was attained, teacher proceeds to the
next lesson going through the same cycle once more. If instructional
objectives were not attained, then teacher diagnoses were not learned and
finds out why it was not learned to introduce a remedial measure for
improved student performance and attainment of instructional objectives.
Step 3: Determine the data collection method. This will allow you to
evaluate how well your students are doing over instructional trials and
whether they are gaining independence over time. You should make sure
that the evaluation method is sensitive enough to pick up on how students
are progressing in becoming independent and performing the skills
necessary for their success.
Step 4: Implement the instructional strategy and collect data. This step
ensures that educators are implementing strategies designed for success and
that, even though variations are inevitable, all individuals teaching the skill
are implementing them in a similar way. It is imperative that you also
determine an appropriate reinforcement strategy. So many students have a
negative experience when it comes to learning. You can make learning fun by
reinforcing the benefits of correct skill usage and support students along the
way. After that, you should aim to fade prompts and scale back until students
become independent.
Step 5: Evaluate your data. You should do this to find out whether the
strategy you are using to teach a skill is effective and whether there is an
increase in student comprehension or capability. If there is a positive trend,
then continue to implement the same instructional strategy. If the trend is flat
or variable (meaning it jumps up and down) you should reevaluate the data
to determine if the instructional method will be effective in the long term.
Step 6: Refine the process and make decisions based on data. You should
always take the results you are seeing in your data into consideration when
determining whether you should adjust your instructional strategies. If the
instructional objectives were attained, then determine the next step of your
instruction. If the instructional objective was not obtained, then you must
determine what you need to change, any additional materials required and if
there is an inconsistency in the implementation of the instructional strategy.
Occasionally, you might discover the instructional method you’re using needs
to be broken down into a simple step or that you need to teach a prerequisite
skill prior to teaching a learning objective.
Systematic instruction is a great way to show that any student can learn.
Educators are also responsible for breaking skills down to help students
learn, no matter their challenges. Discovering and utilizing the power of
systematic instruction can ensure that educators everywhere are helping
students at every grade and learning.
Answer:
1. In the figure the focus of systematic instructional planning is the student.
2. The Instruction begins with the definition of instructional objectives that
consider the students’ needs, interest, and readiness.
3. The second focus in the systematized instruction is choosing appropriate
methods where in it is the basis of the teacher to select the appropriate
teaching methods to be used.
4. Refine the process is the last step where in the instructional objective were
attained, teacher proceeds to the next lesson going through the same cycle
once more.
B. ANALYSIS
Guide question for discussion.
1. Who is at the center of the chart? What does the central location of the chart
mean?
Answer:
The center of the chart is the Learners or the students. The central location of
the chart means that is the focus of chart.
2. What are the steps of the Instructional process or the parts of a systematic
instruction?
Answer:
Step 1: Define Objectives
Step 2: Choose appropriate methods
Step 3: Choose appropriate experiences
Step 4: Select materials, equipment, and facilities
Step 5: Assign personnel roles
Step 6: Implement the Instruction
Step 7: Evaluate Outcomes
Step 8: Refine the process
3. What does each step means?
Answer:
The following are the definition of the steps in systematized instruction:
1. Define objectives – instruction begins with the definition of instructional
objectives that consider the students’ needs, interests, and readiness.
2. Choose appropriate methods – on the basis of these objectives the
teacher selects the appropriate teaching methods to be used.
3. Choose appropriate experiences – based on the teaching method
selected, the appropriate learning experiences, an appropriate material,
equipment, and facilities will also be selected.
4. Select materials, equipment, and facilities – the use of learning
materials, equipment, and facilities necessities assigning the personnel to
assist the teacher.
5. Assign personnel roles – defining the role of any personnel involved in
the preparation, setting, and returning of these learning resources would also
help in the learning process.
6. Implement the Instruction – with the instructional objectives in mind,
the teacher implements planned instructions with the use of the selective
teaching method, learning activities, and learning materials with the help of
other personnel whose role has been defined by the teacher.
7. Evaluate Outcomes – after instructions, teachers evaluate the outcome of
instructions. From the evaluation results, teachers come to know if the
instructional objective was attained.
8. Refine the process – if the instructional objective was attained, teacher
proceeds to the next lesson going through the same cycle once more.
4. In what way does the chart show the systematic or systems approach to
instruction?
Answer:
The chart shows a systematic approach because it is a network of elements
and it is related to each other. The parts are different from each other but
each one is special in the sense that each performs a unique function for the
life and effectiveness of the instructional system.
Are the elements or phases of instruction independent of one another or they
relate to one another?
Answer:
The parts are independent but at the same time they relate to each other.
5. Can the arrows be made to point also to the learners?
Answer:
Yes, it can be because on the first place the main focus of this chart is the
Learners.

Take note of the important points.
IV. ASSESSMENT
Answer question 1-4 on making connections.
1. After the lesson on the Cone of Experience. Can you now explain why the
teachers in Literature discourage us from reading only comics or illustrated
comic version of novels which can be read in the pocketbooks?
Answer:
Yes, because the teacher discourages reading comics or illustrated comics
version of novels for it only encompasses little senses. Reading pocketbooks
is encouraged because it involves both the abstract and concrete learning
experiences which awakens the higher-level thinking compared to comics
reading only.
2. How does the dictum in philosophy “there is nothing in mind that was not
first in the senses” “relate to what you learned from the Cone of Experience”?
Answer:
In the dictum in philosophy “there is nothing in mind that was not first in the
sense” means that learning starts from the awakening of our senses and good
thinking noted good concrete and iconic learning. In the theory about the
learning and experience the good experience produces good oral language
and produce high vocabulary. Through good comprehension this will results
to good learning outcome.
3. Alfred North Whitehead said “In the Garden of Eden, Adam saw the animals
before he named them. In the tradition system, children name the animals
before they see them.” How would you relate this remark to the Cone of
Experience?
Answer:
In the tradition system, “children name the animals before they see them”
mean that in traditional school or system children are taught of
memorization and what to learn instead of how to learn. In the cone of
experience old school start must of the time in abstract rather than concrete
level first they started upside down.
4. When dale formulated the Cone of Experience. Computers were not yet part
educational or home setting, so they are not part of the Original Cone. The
computer technology actively engages the learner, who uses seeing, hearing
and physical activity the keyboard as well as range of mental skill. Where will
the computer be on the cone?
Answer:
The computer will be in the part for the continued experience or may be
place in any part of the cone depending in the use of the computers in the
teaching/learning process.

which guidelines he used in the selection of instructional materials did he observe?
Not Observe? In his use of Instructional Material, write down evidence of:
Preparation of self:
Teacher know the objective of her lesson
She prepared a short performance evaluation
She prepared models for the lesson
She asked good question to derive to good generalization.
Preparation of student:
Students are given rules and rubrics before the activity
Teacher moved around the class during the activity
Positive praises are heard most of the time
Preparation of materials
Teacher should show how to manipulate models
Teachers maximize the use of the models for the learning 5 minute
performance/creation of models and explanation were given by each child
about his/her output follow up
Follow up
Do the materials give a true picture of the ideas they present? To avoid
misconceptions, it is always good to ask when the material was produced.
Do the materials contribute meaningful content to the topic under study?
Does the material help you achieve the instructional objective?
Is the material appropriate for the age, intelligence, and experience of the
learners?
Is the physical condition of the material satisfactory? An example, is a
photograph properly mounted?
Is there a teacher’s guide to provide a briefing for effective use? The chance
that the instructional material will be used to the maximum and to the
optimum is increased with a teacher’s guide.
Can the materials in question help to make students better thinkers and
develop their critical faculties? With exposure to mass media, it is highly
important that we maintain and strengthen our rational powers.
Is the material worth the time, expense and effort involved? A field trip, for
instance, requires much time, effort and money. Is it more effective than any
other less expensive and less demanding instructional material that can take
its place? Or is there a better substitute?

Answer:
For me the narrator learns their respective skills/concepts through their
personal experience and through extensive studies. We spent hours doing the
activity by ourselves to acquire the skill. The graduate school professor had
to do the computer tasks herself to learn the skill. The secretary learned from
her mistake and repeatedly doing the task correctly enable her to master the
skills.

E. MAKING CONNECTION
D. READ PERSONAL POST SCRIPTING
IV. ASSESSMENT
Explain the following statements
1. What are referred to as direct, purposeful experience?
Answer:
The Direct, purposeful are firsthand, sensory experiences that serves as the
foundation of our learning. They are not our own self-experiences but still
experiences in the sense that we see, read, and hear about them.
2. Why are these direct purposeful experiences described to the purposeful?
Answer:
The direct purposeful experience described to be purposeful because they
are experiences involve the asking of questions that have significance in the
life of the person undergoing the direct experience. It is done in relation to a
certain learning objective.
3. If direct purposeful experience or firsthand sensory experiences make as
learn concepts and skills effectively, what does this imply the teaching-
learning process?
Answer:
The direct purposeful experience will be applied in the teaching-learning
process through the following:
1. Let us give our students opportunities to learn by doing. Let us immerse
our students in the world of experience.
2. Let us make use of real things as instructional materials for as long as we
can.
3. Let us help our students develop the five senses to the full to heighten their
sensitivity to the world.
4. Let us guide our students so that they can draw meaning from their
firsthand experiences and elevate their level of thinking.
LESSON 8 – TEACHING WITH CONTRIVED EXPERIENCES
I. OBJECTIVES
1. Explain what are Contrived Experiences?
Answer:
Contrived Experiences are edited copies of reality and are used as
substitutes for real things when it is not practical or not possible to bring or
do the real things in the classroom. It includes model, mockup, specimen,
objects, simulation, and games.
REAL MODEL
Instead of bringing the learners to the zoo which will cost a lot of money and time
consuming; we can use a model of elephant.
b. To “edit” reality for us to be able to focus on parts or process of a system
that we intend to study.
REAL MOCK UP
We can’t bring the learners outside the planet, but we can bring the planet inside the
classroom.
c. To overcome difficulties of size
REAL MODEL
Cells (specimen) Cell Model
Learners can’t observe the cells with their naked eye, better to create a model of
the cells just like the earth; learners can’t go to outer space just to observe the
earth.
d. To understand the inaccessible.
REAL MODEL
We can’t bring the learners to the outer space to study the moon, but we can bring
the moon inside the classroom.
e. Help the learners understand abstraction
For the learners to understand more about election or certain activities of the
government, we can let them experience in school on what is happening in our
society or country.
4. Go over the K to 12 curriculum guides. Identify objectives and topics which
can be taught with contrived experience-models, mockups, specimens, and
objects, simulation, and games.
MODELS:
Topic:
The Skeletal System
The Digestive System
The Moon
Ang Globo at ang Mundo
MOCKUP:
Topic:
How Earth Moves
The Earth’s Revolution
A demo is what you give to show how something works. You might give a demo of
your fancy new espresso machine to your weekend guests, so they'll know how to
use it. Demo is short for demonstrate or demonstration. It can be a verb, as when a
tech company demo its new tablet or laptop.
2. Discuss how demonstration should be done to make it work.
For effective demonstrations:
1. Prepare ahead.
Everything should be ready to go before any presentation. Have complete
procedures written on separate sheets or cards for quick reference. Put all -
important information onto slides, transparencies, or your visual aids so you
can always read it to the audience without being obvious. (A word of caution,
however, do not cram a lot of information on a single slide, transparency, or
screen. Use large type such as 18 point and give the basic steps. You can fill in
details orally and visually, i.e., demonstrate it.)
2. Practice the demonstration.
Practice all demonstrations in advance to make sure you know what will
happen and to gain - confidence in performing the demo. Follow directions
and observe all safety precautions. Do not change the demonstration without
testing in advance. Quantity changes may affect the results.
3. Make the demonstration visible.
Use large apparatus and large quantities suitable to the room whenever
possible. Utilize the overhead projector, video, or digital camera to make
small demos larger. Use appropriate markings on containers, lighting,
backdrops, and raised platforms to provide visibility and contrast. Rotate lab
apparatus to keep labels from blocking the view of demo. Stand behind the
demo, do not block the view of the audience.
4. Present the demonstration to the audience.
Speak to your audience, not to the chalkboard or your visuals. Asking
questions or having a dialogue with audience members increases interaction.
Bring the audience’s attention to the reaction container. Do not tell the
audience what is going to happen, let them observe it and then tell you what
took place. (This should be a dialogue, not a monologue.)
5. Get the audience involved. Get volunteers to help with the demonstrations.
Try to pick the most appropriate member of the audience to help. (Young
children are often the best volunteers to work with.)
6. Encourage responses.
Ask questions and wait for answers. If necessary, ask individuals directly.
(Listen to and observe your audience, pick the person who is most amazed or
most disbelieving.) Ask the audience to explain what happened and why. Do
not ridicule anyone for a wrong answer. Try to guide them toward the desired
response. (Remember, this is a learning experience.)
7. Keep demonstration simple.
Avoid information overload. Too many unknowns, or “new” things detract
from the audience’s attention. Avoid a lot of intricate apparatus. Try to use as
little apparatus as possible. Keep it simple. Use common chemicals and
materials whenever possible to increase audience recognition. Break
complex demonstrations into simple parts.
8. Practice showmanship.
Show surprise at the results. Show dismay at demos that go particularly slow.
Presenting demonstrations is fun. Ham it up with props, costumes, funny
signs or slides, jokes, etc... If you are enjoying yourself, so is your audience. If
a demonstration does not work properly, do not make a big fuss over it. Go on
to the next demonstration. You can always repeat that demonstration another
day.
9. Explain the concept.
Science includes an explanation, magic does not. Work out the explanation
with the audience. Use analogies. Draw upon their knowledge. Do not avoid
technical terms, but do take the time to explain them. Make the explanation
appropriate to the level of your audience. Some classroom demonstrations
should not be explained until a later class to allow students time to ponder
what they observed.
10. Repeat the demonstration.
If possible, repeat the demonstration, or parts of it, to emphasize the
explanation or to make some part of it more apparent to the audience.
11. Practice safety.
Observe the ACS Guideline for Safety. Inspect all glassware and apparatus for
scratches, chips, cracks, etc. and replace any defective items. Utilize safety
shields. Provide goggles and other appropriate safety equipment for helpers.
Warn the audience of any bright light or flash, or any loud noise.
12. Summarize.
Review the events of the demonstration and the explanation.
D. Application
Answer or do numbers 1-6.
1. “Less is more.” If you have too many steps to include in a
demonstration, what should you do?
Answer:
If I have too many steps to include in demonstration, I will summarize
it and make it simple so that students/audiences will understand
what I demonstrate to them.
Is it better to entertain questions as you go along, your demonstration
or postpone them till then end of demo to avoid disruption or possible
digression?
Answer:
It is better to postpone questions till the end of demo to avoid
disruption or possible digression. The person who demonstrated will
confuse on how her/his demo will be step by step in order because
asking question to make him destructed.
2. Is it sufficient to look for puzzled faces in your audience to find out if
your demonstration is clear?
Answer:
It is not sufficient to look for puzzled faces in your audience to find out
if your demonstrations are clear because what is clear to you might
not clear to them the process.
3. Brown (1969) cites guide questions that can help us conduct effective
demonstrations. Find out if all these are covered in the steps given by
Dale (1969) in the ABSTRACTION phase of the lesson.
1. Can the students see and hear?
Answer:
This question is like Dale’s guiding question to evaluate the classroom
demonstrations “Could every person see and hear?”
2. Do you use chalkboard outlines or drawings?
Answer:
Summarize as you go along and provide a concluding summary. It is
also like Dale’s guiding question to evaluate the classroom
demonstration under “Did you follow the step-by-step plan?”
3. Do you define unfamiliar terms, parts, or processes?
Answer:
There is no similar phrase on Dale’s steps and Dale’s guiding question
to evaluate the classroom demonstration.
D. Application
Do number 5-6.
5. There are so many details given above regarding preparing and
planning for field trip. You may not be able to see the trees because of
the forest. Can you reduce the details on preparing and planning for
field trips using a flow chart?
5. What are the community resources which we can use for learning?
Answer:
The community resources that can be used for learning are:
o Persons and places in the community.
o There are other people in the community who can be excellent
resource speakers.
o Beautiful places to visit like populations destinations such as
museums, zoos, botanical garden, historical places, places of exhibit
and scenic spots.
o Public libraries and private libraries.
E. Summing-Up
Read and understand
IV. ASSESSMENT
A. Define or describe the following symbols and where to use them.
1. Drawings – To avoid confusion, it is good that are drawing correctly
represents the real thing.
2. Cartoons – This is another useful visual symbol that can bring novelty to
our teaching.
3. Strip Drawings – This is commonly called comics and comic strips.
4. Diagrams and types of diagrams. Give Examples. – The diagram is “any
line drawing that shows arrangement and relations as parts to the whole,
relative values, origins, and development, chronological fluctuations,
distribution, etc.
An Affinity Diagram is a tool
that gathers large amounts
of language data (ideas,
opinions, issues) and
organizes them into
groupings based on their
natural relationships.
A fishbone diagram is a
visualization tool for
categorizing the potential
causes of a problem. This tool
is used to identify a
problem's root causes. ... A
fishbone diagram is useful in
product development and
troubleshooting processes,
typically used to focus a
conversation on a problem.
Organizational Chart –
shows how one part of the
organization related to other
parts of the organization.
LESSON 14 to LESSON 18
LESSON 14 – MINIMIZING THE USE OF THE OVERHEAD PROJECTOR AND THE
CHECKBOARD
I. OBJECTIVES
Discuss the techniques to be used to maximize the use of overhead projector
and chalkboard.
Nowadays, technology has been widely used. In teaching, most schools use modern
technology in teaching. But it cannot be denied that there are places especially in
remote and rural areas who are not using much of technology maybe because of lack
of supply or electricity. Nevertheless, they make use of alternatives in teaching and
this is where the chalkboard and the OHP or overhead projector are used.
Almost every classroom has a chalkboard. It may not have computers, radio, or tv,
etc. but it will always have a chalkboard. If this is the only means that teachers can
use, so it is very essential that it will be used for its maximum capacity.
Here are some practices which may help in the effective use of chalkboard:
o write clearly and legibly on the board.
o it helps if you have a hard copy of your chalkboard diagram or outline.
o don't crowd your notes on the board.
o make use of colored chalk to highlight key points.
o do not turn your back to your class while you write on the chalkboard.
o start to write from left to right of the chalkboard.
o if you need to have a board work in advance or that need to be saved for
tomorrow's use, write "Please Save"
James Brown also suggested the following techniques for chalkboards:
o sharpen your chalk to get a good line quality.
o stand with your elbow high. Move along as you write.
o use dots as " aiming points".
o make all writing or printing between 2 and 4 inches high for legibility.
o when using colored chalk, use soft chalk so that it can be erased easily.
The OHP or the Overhead Projector is more available in schools than computers and
it also has a lot of advantages. There are many techniques than can be used in
presenting the information and the sequencing of these information during the
presentation.
II. SUGGESTED TOPIC
Maximizing the use of the Overhead Projector and the Chalkboard.
Reference Text: Brenda B. Corpuz, Ph.D. and Paz l. Lucido, Ph.D. Page 137-146.
III. ACTIVITIES
A. Activity
Read the activities number 1 to 2.
1. Recall where you first experience with the OHP. If you have none,
share a funny experience you saw.
2. One comment of a student written in the evaluation of a history
professor at the end of the semester was “He never used the board
throughout the semester”.
Answer:
For me the student was able to do that comment maybe because their
History professor may have used the OHP often that’s why he/she
doesn’t need to write anything in the chalkboard because it is
immediately displayed in the big screen.
B. Analysis
Answer number 1 to 4.
1. Any lesson or insight drawn from above experiences?
Answer:
For me the lesson or insight that I have drawn from the experience of
the student is that a teacher has this diverse kind of styles or manners
of teaching which enable the students to either understand it or not.
2. Can you give your hypothesis why the history professor never used
chalkboard from the semester?
Answer:
My hypothesis about the history professor, that he/she may have used
OHP often that’s why he/she don’t need to write anything in the
chalkboard because it is immediately displayed in the big screen.
3. If a chalkboard is the only equipment available in a classroom for you
to become visual in your presentation, how can you maximize it use for
the sake of learning?
Answer:
If chalkboard is the only equipment available in the classroom,
teachers can maximize it for the sake of learning by presenting more
formally prepared lessons or informal sessions that students can
understand and follow more topics. The teacher should use the
chalkboard to write the important information and ideas that are clear
from facts to concepts, from cognitive to affective learning. He/She can
also use various color chalk or pen to draw on the chalkboard to
develop the topic, show part or build association.
4. What other errors are committed by teachers or users of OHP?
Answer:
The common error that the teachers commit while using OHP are the
following:
o There are teachers who seem like talking to the screen.
o If teacher is a right-handed, place the OHP to the right if left-
handed place the OHP to the left.
o Screen should be tilted forward on top of the screen to avoid
keystone effects.
o Avoid large table of figures.
o Avoid too much text.
o Presentation must be readable from a far.
o Don’t read the text on your slide because the audience can
read it.

D. Summing–Up
E. Making Connections
Do/Answer Numbers 1 to 3.
1. We always hear the word “blackboard” when we seen is green
chalkboard in the classroom. Can you find out why?
Answer:
It is called blackboard because the characteristic feature of any
classroom is the blackboard on which text is written and drawings are
made with the help of calcium sulphate chalk. These boards are
typically made of sheets of dark grey or black slate stone. In recent
years, green colored boards have largely replaced blackboards.
Studies reveal that green color relaxes the eyes and prevents fatigue.
Furthermore, the human eye is highly sensitive to the green color, and
for this reason, the use of green boards has extensively increased.
2. Which color is more user-friendly, the blackboard or the green board?
Answer:
For me the more user-friendly is the green board because it relaxes
the eyes and prevents from fatigue.
3. These chalkboards are slowly being replaces by a magnetic white
board. Can you tell why?
Answer:
The chalkboards are slowly replaced with magnetic white board
because magnetic white boards are easy to use, and you can easily
stick things to it for temporary display. Also, dry erase markers leave
much less of a visible trace after being erased, and they tend to erase
cleanly rather than smudging all over the board.
4. If you don’t have the commercial transparency for the OHP, can you
improve your transparency?
Answer:
Yes, we can still improve the transparency even if we use a non-
commercial transparency for the OHP through using simple objects
like keys, leaves, output paper shapes, to simulate children’s
imagination. Blank sheets of acetate and grease pencils, maps, clear
plastics and other materials can be used to be projected to the large
crowd.
IV. ASSESSMENT
1. Practices which can help in the affective use of the chalkboard.
o Write clearly and legibly on the board. Take note that there are children in
the last rows.
o It helps if you have a hard copy of your chalkboard diagram or out line.
That helps you to visualize the diagram or outline you like to appear on the
chalkboard. That clean diagram and organized outline must match what you
do on the chalkboard.
o Don't crowd your notes on the board. By overcrowding your board work,
your students may fail to see the key ideas. They may not see the trees
because of the forest. 3
o Make use of colored chalk to highly the key points. Color will also make
your board more appealing. I witnessed one good teacher who had no other
visual aid except herself, the chalkboard, and her colored chalks.
o Do not turn your back to your class while you write on the chalkboard.
Write side view as you talk. Don't lose your eye contact with your class.
o For the sake of order and clarity, start to write from the left side of the board
going right.
o If you teach the grades and you think the lines on the chalkboard are needed
for writing exercise, then provide the lines for your board.
o Look at your board work from all corners of the room to test if pupils from all
sides of the room can read your board work.
o If there is glare on the chalkboard at certain times of the day, a curtain on the
window may solve the problem.
o If you need to replace your chalkboard or if you are having a new classroom
with new chalkboard suggest to the carpenter to mount the chalkboard a
little concave from left to right to avoid glare for the pupil's benefit.
o If you need to have a board work in advance or that need to be saved for
tomorrow's use (say a quiz or a sophisticated diagram), write “place save”
and cover the same with a curtain.
o Make full use of the chalkboard. It may be a traditional educational
technology, but it serves its purpose very well when used correctly.
2. Chalkboard Techniques.
o Sharpen your chalk to get good line quality.
o Stand with your elbow high. Move along as you write.
o Use dots as “aiming points.” this keeps writing level.
o Make all writing or printing between 2 and 4 inches high for legibility.
o When using colored chalk, use soft chalk so that it can be erased
easily.
2. Was the students work in school connected to the real world in which the
students live?
Answer:
Yes, the students work hand in hand in order to do their different activities
that can be related to the real-world scenario.
3. Was the class projecting a one-shot lesson or did it extend over a significant
period of time?
Answer:
The class was able to maximize the time without extending the time for other
class session.
4. Was the teacher clearly in charge of the class?
Answer:
Yes, the teacher is clearly in-charge of the whole class because she clearly
monitored each of the activity that her students are doing.
5. Did the teacher give leeway to the students to make decisions withing
reasonable limit?
Answer:
Yes, the teachers gave enough time to students, enough to have a certain
verdict about the lesson discussed.
6. Did the students work collaboratively?
Answer:
Yes, the students work collaboratively because they were able to come up
with a good outcome in their different activities.
C. Abstraction
-Project-based multimedia learning
-Dimensions of Project-Based Multimedia Learning
-Limitations of the use of Project-based multimedia learning strategy
D. Application
Do number 1 activity.
1. In your health lesson, you want your student to get to know more about
diabetes. What is it all about, its causes, remedies, cure and prevention,
number of Filipinos afflicted by diabetes, government programs meant to
address the problem of diabetes. This is a topic most appropriate for a project-
based multimedia learning strategy.
Answer:
In this activity the students should be given the chance to come up with their
project-based multimedia work and let them to be creative and do their own
strategy how they can come up with a good output considering the 3
assessment concerns with their project.
E. Summing–Up
F. Making the Connection
Do activities 1 to 3.
1. What principles of teaching discussed in the subject on Principles of
Teaching are very much illustrated by project-based multimedia learning?
Answer:
The principles of teaching illustrated in the project-based multimedia
learning is that project-based multimedia learning is a teaching method
in which students acquire knowledge and skills while designing, planning,
and producing multimedia product. Most of all it anchored on the core
curriculum, this means that project-based multimedia learning addresses the
basic knowledge and skills all students are expected to acquire as laid down
in the minimum competencies of the basic education curriculum.
2. Recall the psychological theories of learning and cognitive processes that
you learned in the subject “facilitating learning”. Is there any connection
between project-based multimedia learning and these theories and processes?
Answer:
Yes, there is a connection between project-based multimedia and theories
and processes because these theories and processes in a sense that students
do not learn simply by “using” multimedia produced by others; they learn by
creating it themselves. As students design and research their projects, instead
of gathering only written notes, they also gather-and create pictures, video
clips, recordings, and other media objects that will later serve as the raw
materials for their final product because in a “facilitating learning” general
approach that views learning as an active mental process of acquiring,
remembering, and using knowledge. Knowledge guides new learning and
knowledge is the outcome of learning.
3. Does project-based multimedia learning support authentic assessment in
the form of products and performances?
Answer:
Yes, the project-based multimedia learning supports the authentic
assessment because as the curriculum content in project-based learning is
authentic it resembles the real-world setting therefore the evaluation for
students’ work turns into authentic assessment which also measures their
performance.
IV. ASSESSMENT
1. Dimensions of the project-based multimedia learning.
The dimensions of the project-based multimedia learning are the following:
o Core curriculum
o Real-world connections
o Extended time frame
o Student decision making
o Collaboration
o Assessment
o Multimedia
5. Reference
The EMC attends to request such as bibliographic information from
the card catalog, search through books, periodicals, pamphlets,
documents, and non-print materials. A logbook of question asked is
available at the circulation counter. The logbook also serves as a data
for the librarians in their selection, purchase, organization, and
publicity of materials. There are computers with Internet facilities
that help facilitate this service.
6. Bibliographic Service
10. Mags-on-Wheels
Selected professional and general interest journals are routed in the different
grade levels and service areas. The service is given to maximize the different
subscriptions for professional and personal growth of the school community.
