3. Non-electronic Visual Resources y Globes, maps

4. ICT Resources y

The non-electronic visual resources like their globe and their maps are still in good condition despite being used widely by the students in their history class. The ICT resources of their school are relatively new but still in tip-top condition.

The globe and the map are used in their history class as an instructional tool.

The computer units are used for hands-on computer laboratory activities, while the overhead projector is for transparency slide presentations.

Impression:
In all, the Iligan City East High School (ICEHS) has a very good number of available learning resources, which are still very relevant to the needs of the students and the teachers and the same time it is also congruent to their curriculum. Hopefully, when budget warrants, they will be able to obtain more resources to fully establish their science, arts and basic education curriculum.

The over-all impact of the display would really make you think twice about or do not even consider smoking as habit. Although the depiction of the diseases one would suffer due to smoking is very vivid somewhat morbid even but the chosen colors for its design compliment it in a way giving it aesthetic value.

Balance
Objects are arranged so stability is perceived

Unity
Repeated shapes or colors or use of borders holds display together

The design itself has stability but somehow lacks elements of balance. There is unity among the elements used in the display. There are no repeated shapes because the design does not call for it.

3. What do you think was the purpose of the board displays? Was it effective? Why? Why not?

I think the display is very effective, in a sense that one would not smoke or even inhale secondhand smoke because of the visual message it delivers.

4. What suggestion can you make?

Although the display is very effective, there must be another display to balance its somewhat negative impression, like perhaps what happens when one maintains a healthy lifestyle.

Based on your suggestion, propose an enhanced version of the displays board. Use the form below.

You re Reflection 1. Name at least 5 skills that a teacher should have to be able to come up with effective board displays. Elaborate on why each skill is needed.

2. Which of the skills do you already have? Recall your past experience in making board displays? How do you practice these skills?

Artistic- I was a member of the an art organization during my year level before. I, together with my group mates usually given a tasked to design our bulletin board and if ever there were programs held in our school. But we don t mind the contents of it only the design so that the students will look at and read what is on the board.

The skills that I already have are creativity, resourcefulness and innovativeness. I do not have much experience in making board display, the one that I could clearly remember was in elementary, but I am able to practice these skills through the lessons in the EdTech course I am taking right now.

3. Which skills do you still need to develop? Reflect on how you can improve on or acquire these skills.

I think I need develop my thinking skills when it comes to organizing the content of the article or announcement displayed on the board. I must research more about the ideas I will post on the board so that students will be attracted as well as understand what s on the board.

I feel that I need to develop more elegance and ingenuity in coming up with designs not only in making a board display and other instructional materials. I can improve on these skills by constant practice and by research on various designs helpful in coming up with instructional materials.

The lesson of the class that I observed was all about Multiplying terms by another term. The visual aid/material/learning resource is only chalk and blackboard. The teacher write all the equation on the board , then discuss the topic on the students. The chalkboards were used effectively because it is convenient to use both for formally prepared lessons and for spontaneous sessions. I would do similarly the teachers strategy that I observed by establishing discipline.

Activity 3

If I were in the place of the teacher, I will also use books as a learning resource. I will also use flashcards about polynomials; this will serve as an appetizer in presenting my lesson. I will give individual task so everybody in the class will have their participation. I know it will be fun, and it will develop the abilities of my student in solving math problems.

2. What difficulties, if any, did the teacher experience? How can this be managed?

The difficulties that the teacher had while the class was going on, is primarily on making the students relate to the story (it was Ang Tipaklong at ang Langgam , although the story was relayed in Cebuano by the teacher). She was able to manage by gently explaining the story and by pointing out experiences that they may have that relates to the story

3. Over-all, were the learning resources/materials used effectively? Why? Why not?

Yes, the big book really was effective in keeping the students attention at the same time it enhanced their imagination.

You re Reflections

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

reflection activity 3
If i will given a chance to teach, i could probably say that i will not do similarly like the teacher do in her class during my observation.her method on teaching mathematics is to give a quiz after she finished discussing in order to met the stated objectives.She like giving a quiz and it is good. If I will become a teacher someday I would like to do something which may help them to have a self confidence.I used to give a recitation rather a quiz wherein they can answer me individually with that we can say less cheating with their seatmates.thats it

I would probably do the same with the recitations of the syllables and I would also have a storytelling session using a big book because of the positive response of the students. But I will probably not include the writing activity after the recitation because some students found the activity not so interesting, so they began standing up and began talking.

Name of the School Observed: Location of the School: Date of Visit:

Surveying of materials have many benefits in preparing for making lessons. One their benefit is to identify the appropriate instructional materials and activities that I need for every topic and objective. The material I like making the most is visual aid. I like making visual aids because you can use it again and again. I had fun of making visual aids, I want to express my creativity in doing this.

You re Analysis Give at least three benefits of doing a survey of available materials before making your own materials? Explain each. 1.

The topic of the class that I observed was Linear equation. The good features of a hand out are have strong title, clear layout, underling connections and using of bulletin form instead of paragraph.

I found difficulty in getting information about my topic in making these hand-outs. It is also hard to make graphic organizers.

If I do a survey of available materials before making my own, I can save time instead of making my own and figuring out how my lesson will proceed, I can just focus on how to use the available materials for the lesson. Another is I can save money and material resources. Why do I have to spend when there are already appropriate resources available? Obviously, this is very trivial in these times of trying economic times. Third, I can also find out what other resources are available which can be used in the future lessons. This way I only need to have a yearly inventory and then plan the materials I will use throughout the school year.

Activity 4 The material I liked the most are mock-ups, because, this material is fun and it can captures student attention. Students will learn easy about the topic. I have difficulty in preparing visual aids. I asked for help and tip how to make a good visual aid. We should always remember that learning resources should be appropriate with the lesson to be discussed

You re Reflection 1. Which of the materials did you like making the most? Why?

Although most of the materials I have listed are not fabricated nor synthesizes personally, I especially liked the using the video analysis software because it enables the class to analyze the components of motion of a certain object.

The material I like making the most is visual aid. I like making visual aids because you can use it again and again. I had fun of making visual aids, I want to express my creativity in doing this.

2. What difficulties, if any, did you encounter in making the materials? How did you overcome them?
Making most of these materials on my own would be really difficult but some can be made with the help of professionals who have expertise and the proper equipment. In order to overcome such difficulties, I will just find alternative materials that are readily available and affordable

3. What tips can you give teachers regarding preparation of teaching materials?

reflection activity 4
As a teacher, It is your responsibilities to teach kids effectively as much as possible we should do a wonderful job for them as a part of our job.It is our responsibilities to think an appropriate learning materials for the specific lesson/ topic. yet if you asked me, if what materials that I would used in my lesson? for me i used to do a hand-outs rather than writing on the board.Because heres you can introduced your lesson in a less effort, the hand-outs you can write only the summary or the important part in your topic. it is also the responsibilities of the students to read and understand your topic for their own learninng. the good things with the handouts is we can keep it and then used again.but it is not easy to do because you just not only write anything yet you must think the idea that is appropriate to learned that you can included in the hand-outs...

The best tip I can give to teachers regarding preparation of teaching materials is make use of the resources available at home, in the school or can be bought at the convenience store for a low price. They can also search the Internet for creative ways to utilize such commonly found items in their lessons.

You re Tools After working on your handout, answer the following questions: 1. What are the good features of a handout?

What are the features of a good handout?


-Easy to follow -Short bullet point format -Your presentation should follow the same order (so that it is easy to understand what you are saying) -Put keywords in bold type -Make sure that all the important points of your presentation are on the handout -Don't include too much info (otherwise it can become cluttered) -Your topic should be easily recognizable -Best if it is only one side of a sheet of paper Hope that helps :) Good Luck. 4 years ago -Subtitles make it easier to read Handout is book just like a textbook prepared by a particular Lecturer/teacher to give the students tips/hints of a particular topic to be treated in the class. Therefore, the features of a good handout are that it must contain all the details of a particular topic, it has to serve as a teacher to guide you in knowing what a particular topic is all about.

y y y

A good handout helps students prepare for the coming lesson. Also, it must give the students a clear description of the activities or procedures that they have to do in order to understand the lesson. Another, it should include pictures, graphs and other illustrations related to the lesson.

2. Which of these features are present in the handout I made?

In the sample, I have already given a good contrast between the two circuits which also

includes circuit diagrams.

3. Which features are not present in the handout I made?

The sample I made lacks concept elaboration and examples for application and problem solving.

You re Reflections 1. What difficulties, if any, did you encounter in making the handouts? How did you overcome them?

Activity 5 I encountered difficulties on making my hand. A good handout should include all the needed information about the topic and it should reliable. I come up in using two books as a reference so that my handout will contain all the needed information about the topic. In preparing hand-outs, you must always remember to use good books. The physical appearance should be appropriate and must follow guidelines. Make people pay attention to the content of the handout, not its appearance

Make the handout easy to navigate.

The difficulty that I encountered while making the sample handout is in drawing the circuits. I was able to overcome it with the help of drawing tools, but it took me a while to finish it. But it is definitely better than drawing by hand.

The topic of the class that I observed was Linear equation. The good features of a hand out are have strong title, clear layout, underling connections and using of bulletin form instead of paragraph.

I found difficulty in getting information about my topic in making these hand-outs. It is also hard to make graphic organizers

2. What tips can you give teachers regarding preparation of handouts?

reflection activity 5
Yes, it is true that hand-outs is not just only paper work yet if you finished preparing that, you will realized that is not easy as they say you should be careful in doing hand-outs the

idea that are included should related only with your lesson that you wanted emphasized to your students.The first time i do hand-outs, a little bit feel confused with that because i dont have any idea on how to make hand-outs yet thanks to our teacher that gave me strenght to do this, giving idea on how to come up with the hand-outs.and after i finished my hand-outs i was very happy and i think that i can also do this hand-outs.the only tip that i can share is when making a hand-outs make sure you have an objectives that helps you to do effectively the hand-outs.

In making handouts, it is always best to start with an outline so that one will be guided on what topics to include. Now, it might be time-consuming to create one s own illustrations, but then you can always use this illustrations for other instructional materials like exams and slide presentations.

You re Analysis After working on your slide presentation, answer the following questions: 1. What are the good features of a slide presentation?

Activity 6 I thought it is good to use different graphics and pictures to add the content in a slide, but Im thankful that Ive read a book about how to prepare power point presentation. I also learned new things aside from the use of graphics and pictures. A good presentation should eliminate distracting backgrounds, and have consistency in the design. Avoid putting too much information on one screen display. Dont use decorative clip art to confuse the message. Dont use too many colors on one screen, and dont use graphics, animations, or audio without a good purpose.

A good slide show presentation must be concise, direct to the point and insightful at the same time. It can have transitions and animations to emphasize a point but should not be too much. Its design, lay-out and formatting should be balanced with the concept presented.

2. Which of these features are present in the slide presentation your made?

Among the features mentioned above, the slide presentation I made has appropriate transitions and animations, where the format and design is congruent to the concept presented it does not clutter the slide.

3. Which features are not present in the slide presentation you made?

I am afraid that the slide presentation I made is neither short nor concise. Also, the text layout that I have made does not follow the rule on six lines per slide, six words per line .

You re Reflections

1. What difficulties, if any, did you encounter in making the slide presentation? How did you overcome them?

The topic that I make slide presentation was Operation on Rational Expression. The good features of a slide presentation are use links in the presentation, make the presentation not too long, keep it simple, include transitions/effects in your slide to put emphasis on your point, and use the same theme for the whole presentation.

I found difficulty in making the slide presentation by typing the information of my topic because it is more on numbers.

REFLECTION ACTIVITY 6
A little bit difficulties, i encounted on making a slide presentetion, however this difficulties i overcome.At first honestly i could say that i dont have any prior knowledge or idea on making a slide presentation or on how to used a computer, yet i remember the first time i see personally a computer when i was first year college and that time im very happy because its my first time to see a computer personally.may be for others this experience is very mababaw(tagalog haha) for me it is unforgettable experience.In mangsee island they dont have that computer in schools limited learning materials and with thta it really to my mind that life is simple.yet, im very thankful to those teachers help me to realized that life is beautiful not just simple.

In making the slides, so far, the difficulty encountered is choosing the information that should appear on the slide, since there is a lot of information being discussed in the reference materials. To overcome them, I read the summarized form of the lesson and from there come up with an outline that would make the preparation of the slide easier. Page 16

Please write your reflections on your FS experience on this page.

On my experiences in surfing the net to find sites that provide support materials and interactive programs on my topic, I found out that it easy to get information about your topic because there is a website that can assist you in your field of specialization like in mathematics, the the virtual Math Lab . I feel comfortable in searching information about my topic that I was observed. I saw and understand what is really the point of my topic and I learned how easily to come up about my topic.

reflection activity 7

field-study 3, this experience in fs3, is really unforgettable one, i still remember during my fs1, tried, hungry, and sacrifice are there,,yet even though that,still you can find hope.Don't lose hope and i believed in that. Life is all about believing in yourself if you think that you can do this even a lot of effort you must exert then try you will be find a success.But eventually i can say that this profession is really a noble one yet EDUCATION is the most important materials in ones life. It is something important wherein nobody can steal. this will involve hardship and commitment of someone who has the love for

teaching.fortunately, many of our fellowmen indulge themselves in a teaching career but unfortunately, many were not able to be in-in the job. learning process is not easy as they say, someone may be disappointed and others mau be succeed. I believed that this experienced may help me in the future.

Through this episode, I was able to come across the role of the teacher in making a responsible choice in determining the appropriateness of the instructional tools especially when it comes from the World Wide Web. The teacher has to spend time in previewing and evaluating prospect sites to be used in the class. Although, the teacher has all the help he or she will need when looking for materials to use in class because there are a lot of sites that cater to their needs.
