Lesson 2. NON-DIGITAL AND DIGITAL SKILLS AND TOOLS IN DELIVERING TECHNOLOGY-ENHANCED LESSONS MODULE OUTCOMES • Integrate media and technology in various content areas • Describe technology tools that are used in group activities • Use technology tools to collaborate and share resources among communities of practice • Reflect on the use of technology and on its relevance and appropriateness LESSON 1 Learning Outcomes 1. Describe the procedures for developing conventional instructional materials 2. Develop instructional material based on given topic and strategy 3. Describe the factors to consider in revising media selections and delivery systems for given instruction INTRODUCTION Teaching becomes rewarding when learners get the most from instruction as manifested in their performance. An important element in engaging learners is when the strategy used in delivering the lesson uses an instructional material. When properly and appropriately used, it can spice up a classroom activity. These instructional materials may come in varied forms. One group refers to the conventional and non-digital tools. A classroom will always need a chalkboard or a writing board that may come in varied forms and shapes. Bulletin boards, flip charts, dioramas, puppets, terrarium and the like, will always find their significance in any classroom. • Instructional Materials are defined as print and non-print items that are rested to impact information to students in the educational process (Effiong & Igiri, 2015).

Roles of IMs in Teaching and Learning (Brown et al., 2005; Effiong & Igiri, 2015) 1. Promote meaningful communication and effective learning; 2. Ensure better retention, thus making learning more permanent; 3. Help to overcome the limited classroom by making the inaccessible accessible 4. Provide a common experience upon which late learning can be developed 5. Encourage participation especially if students are allowed to manipulate materials used TASK 1: VIEWING THE VIDEO Please watch this video from YouTube. This is about the Low-Cost and Low Tech Resources for the Classroom

Task 1. Answer the questions below and send it to your instructor’s email address. After watching the video clip, answer the following questions: 1. Complete the table that follows on the appropriate instructional materials to be used on a specific topic.

Instructional materials are the supplementary materials, which help the teacher to make his/her presentation concrete, effective, interesting, meaningful and inspiring. In any teaching and learning process, instructional materials play a vital role as they provide sensory experiences to the learners. The primary aim of teaching materials is to provide the teachers the layout of the way for teaching in the classroom. Instructional materials refer to any preexisting materials that are being incorporated, as well as to those that will be specifically developed for the objectives (Haigler, 2014). SEVERAL FACTORS 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 adapting 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 her/his materials available. Instructional materials are a great help in stimulating and facilitating the learning of the learners. According to Wright (1976:1) as cited in Cakir (2006) many media and many styles of visual presentation are useful to the language learner. All audio-visual materials have positive contributions to language learning as long as they are used at the right time, in the right place. In the teaching and learning process, learners use their eyes as well as their ears; but their eyes are basic in learning. 1. DIORAMA It will make the classroom to be creative and innovative. It is fun way to build an exciting scene in a 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 DEVELOPING A DIORAMA: 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 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.

SUGGESTIONS ON USING WRITING BOARD: 1. Keep the board clean. 2. Use chalk or pens that contrast with the background of the board so that students can see the information clearly. 3. Make text and drawings large enough to be seen from the back of the room. 4. Prepare complex drawings in advance (if very complex, an overhead transparency or 35mm slide may be preferable). 5. Underline headings and important or unfamiliar words for emphasis. 6. Do not talk while facing the board....
