LESSON 9: ICT and Conventional Learning Materials to Enhance
Teaching-Learning

At the end of the lesson, the students should be able to:

1. Identify the different learning materials designed to enhance teaching-learning;


2. Discuss the importance of conventional learning materials in the teaching-
learning process;
3. Value the importance of learning materials in teaching – learning process.

LET’S BEGIN!

ACTIVITY 1: What’s on your mind?

Learning material is …

Learning materials are those like texts, videos, software,


modules and other materials that teachers use to assist
students to meet the expectations for learning of the students
in which they can learn by their own. Before a learning
resource is used in a classroom, it must be evaluated and
approved at either the school management or any staffs that
have concerns to evaluate the criteria that may include to the
curriculum fit, social considerations, and age or
developmental appropriateness.

WE’RE ON OUR WAY

Technology provides numerous tools that teachers can use in and


out of the classroom to enhance student learning. Digital technologies
offer new opportunities for learning in an increasingly connected society,
in which learning to work with others and collaborate has become an
extremely important skill.

WE’RE ON OUR WAY

Distance learning, also called distance education, e-learning, and online learning,
form of education in which the main elements include physical separation of teachers
and students during instruction and the use of various technologies to facilitate student-
teacher and student-student communication. Distance learning traditionally has focused
on nontraditional students, such as full-time workers, military personnel, and
nonresidents or individuals in remote regions who are unable to attend classroom
lectures. However, distance learning has become an established part of the educational
world, with trends pointing to ongoing growth.

LET’S DIG DEEPER

Online education has grown in popularity and accessibility, attracting students


with its schedule-friendly format options. These formats can be grouped broadly into two
categories: synchronous and asynchronous. Synchronous learning is online or distance

Technology for Teaching and Learning 1 bunieleddilyn@gmail.com | 09099030078


education that happens in real time, often with a set class schedule and required login
times. Asynchronous learning does not require real-time interaction; instead, content is
available online for students to access when it best suits their schedules, and
assignments are completed to deadlines. Programs can also use a hybrid learning
model, which includes a blend of both formats.

Synchronous learning
Synchronicity means doing something at the same time, and with learning, it’s no
different. Synchronous learning refers to a learning event in which a group of participants
is engaged in learning at the same time. There is real-interaction with other people
For that, they should be in the same physical location, such as a classroom, or at
the same online environment, such as in a web conference, where they can interact with
the instructor and other participants. There is real-interaction with other people.
In a corporate training scenario, this type of learning occurs when there is in-
person training or live webinars where the employees or customers can participate at the
same time.
The benefits of synchronous learning
• Interaction between participants.
• Exchange of knowledge and experience between participants.
• Real-time feedback for the instructor.
• Training happens on a fixed schedule.

8| Page

Advantages of synchronous learning


o Classroom Engagement

If you like active discussion, immediate feedback, and personal interactions with
peers and instructors, you’ll probably prefer a synchronous learning experience. This
format can be especially helpful if you’re just beginning the transition from a traditional
classroom to an online setting. Live videoconferencing, lecture broadcasts, and chatting
in real time in a messaging client can offer much of the personal engagement available
in a classroom, while also allowing you the comforts of home and no commute time.
Plus, you won't ever have to worry about germs during cold and flu season.
o Dynamic Learning

For some learning styles, a synchronous online format is actually an


improvement over classroom learning because it allows for a more dynamic exploration
of topics, ideas, and concepts. There is a speed and immediacy to synchronous online
learning; videoconferencing makes it possible to ask peers and TAs questions and
receive answers mid-lesson, and not being in a lecture hall means you can do your own
research on the side without disrupting class. If you thrive at a swift pace, surrounded by
competing and complementary ideas, a synchronous format might suit you well.
o Instructional Depth

With synchronous online learning, you interact regularly and frequently with your
professors and can get to know them. This provides regular opportunities for face-to-
face discussion, individual guidance, and mentorship without having to schedule
independent appointments. If you do your best work when you have accessible and
supportive instruction, you’re probably a synchronous learner.
Disadvantages of synchronous learning
o Rigid Schedule

Technology for Teaching and Learning 1 bunieleddilyn@gmail.com | 09099030078


If you’ve chosen online learning because of your hectic and unpredictable work
schedule, synchronous learning may cause problems. If your job as a registered nurse
keeps you on call at strange hours, or your parenting responsibilities render you fully
occupied during the day time, or your hobby as an amateur storm-chaser means that
you have to be ready to roll at a moment’s notice, you may have a hard time keeping up
with the set schedule of a synchronous online course. If flexibility is the number one
reason that you’ve chosen the online route, having to adapt to a synchronous learning
schedule may defeat the purpose.
o Technical Difficulties

If your work or life requires extensive travel and you often find yourself
completing coursework in weird places like coffee shops, airport terminals, and hotel
lobbies, synchronous learning might add to your stress. The constant search for a
wireless signal becomes even more dire when you’re on the clock for a videoconference,
lecture, or even an exam. For synchronous learners, technical difficulties like spotty
internet, crashing hard drives, and dying batteries can become full-fledged, GPA-tanking
disasters. Instead of logging in and sitting for your exam, you can end up sputtering
profanities at your computer. And who has the time for that?

Asynchronous learning
If synchronous learning takes place at the same time, asynchronous learning
refers to the opposite. The instructor, the learner, and other participants are not engaged
in the learning process at the same time. There is no real-time interaction with other
people.

9| Page

An example of this method in corporate training is creating online content with


pre-recorded videos or publishing an on-demand online exam.
The benefits of asynchronous learning
• Participants can learn in their own time and schedule
• Less work for trainers and HR managers
• Automated tasks reduce repetitive work such as giving online classes and
grading exams
• Employees and customers spend less time in a classroom or
amphitheater during work hours
So, what are the differences between synchronous and asynchronous learning?

HOW FAR HAVE WE GONE?

ACTIVITY 2: Discussion
1. In your own words, differentiate synchronous and asynchronous learning.
Answer: we all know that both have their pros & cons. So even if there is
any statistics, it would be inconclusive to determine prevalence , and it would
be great if you managed to find the balance combining both approaches.

In conclusion, Distance learning is a great technology evaluation to our generation and


has added a new level on higher education. It seems as cheaper than traditional class, and
students are open to work over their flexible schedule. Distance learning provide a bright
future to our education with its positive probability. Though almost all universities and
college start to focus on online education, some people find difficulty in distance learning for
its lack in guidance and technical support. However, it can be a great blessing to bring
success to the whole society with some proper development including the teacher and the
learners.

At the end of the lesson, the students should be able to:

1. Define flexible learning environment;


2. Determine various technology tools that enhances collaboration;
3. Reflect on the use of technology and on its relevance and appropriateness.

Internet, while commuting or as part of a
work-study program. Mode refers to the way that content is delivered by technology, typically
through blended learning, fully online courses or technology-enhanced experiences.

"Collaboration is essential in our classrooms because it is inherent in the nature of how


work is accomplished in our civic and workforce lives. Fifty years ago, much work was
accomplished by individuals working alone, but not today. Much of all significant work is
accomplished in teams, and in many cases, global teams." - The National Education
Association, An Educator's Guide to the "Four C's"
WE’RE ON OUR WAY
Collaboration is one of the most essential ingredients to fostering 21st century skills and
deeper learning in the classroom. The Harvard education specialist Tony Wagner has argued
that, because knowledge is now available on every internet-connected device, the ability to
collaborate has become far more important for students than academic knowledge. Did you
know that it was a collaborative school computer club that brought together two minds that would
change the future of technology forever? Those two minds were Bill Gates and Paul Allen, the
founders of Microsoft. Collaboration doesn’t just fuel social and emotional skills ...it fuels
innovation.

Here are some of tech tools for facilitating collaboration and fueling innovation in the
classroom:

1. Google Apps for Education


12| Page
The Google Drive apps enable students and teachers to collaborate more effectively on
papers, spreadsheets, and presentations.
LET’S DIGThe beauty of the Google Suite for Education is:
DEEPER
several people can contribute simultaneously, so it’s truly designed for collaboration. There is a
limit of 50 simultaneous collaborators for Google Docs and Sheets, so there’s space for an entire
class. There is a limit of 200 total viewers and editors in Google Docs and Sheets.

Another great feature of Google Apps is that they automatically save your work, so
students’ work will never be lost. There’s also never a need to keep several iterations of a
document because the revision history feature allows you to revert to previous versions of the
document (to find revision history: go to the File menu and select “See revision history”).

2. Kahoot:
Kahoot is a game-based classroom response system that gives educators an engaging
way to test the knowledge of their students. Teachers and educators LOVE Kahoot...and we
even use it at our GoGuardian team meetings and Harry Potter trivia contests (yes we are that
nerdy). Kahoot can be used to boost collaboration through encouraging students to be the
leaders and “quiz-makers”: to research, create, and present their own quizzes to the class.

Flexible learning is a method of learning where students are given freedom in how,
what, when and where they learn. Flexible learning environments address how physical
space is used, how students are grouped during learning and how time is used throughout
teaching. With space, students may be given dedicated breakout rooms to work
collaboratively. Schools may restructure traditional schedules to provide students with time
for collaboration and other activities such as guest speakers or performances to assist their
understanding of a topic.

Technology for Teaching and Learning 1 bunieleddilyn@gmail.com | 09099030078


3. Flip Grid:
Flip Grid is a video discussion community for your classroom that uses student voices to
promote collaboration, discussion, and engagement. With Flip Grid, you can type a question and
create a link for a “grid”. Students respond to the question in video format (kids get to be the
“talking heads”) and are added to the “grid” of all the responses. Flip Grid is a great way to build
the communicational skills of your students, while facilitating collaboration.

4. MindMeister:
MindMeister is a collaborative web-based tool that enables groups to brainstorm on one
“mind map” document during the early phases of group work. Students can continue to use the
document for collaborating during the course of a project. MindMeister teaches students to work as
a team to manage and plan projects effectively, and to break complex tasks down into smaller,
more manageable parts.

5. Google Hangouts:
Google Hangouts is a great way to bring remote groups of students together to
communicate and collaborate. With Google Hangouts, inviting a guest speaker into the classroom

school. You can also use Hangouts on Air to record video, so you can record the day’s class and
post a link to it on your class’ website for students that were absent. Google Hangouts is also a
great vehicle for connecting and collaborating with other classrooms...within your own school or
across the globe!

HOW FAR HAVE WE GONE?

ACTIVITY 2: Discussion
1. Advantages of technology tools in a classroom environment.
Answer: Technology in the classroom enables the use of more interactive
educational tools, which allows for a dynamic learning experience that directly
benefits students. Web 2.0 interaction involves not only sharing ideas and
information with someone else but also receiving feedback. As classroom
computer technology is being used for different types of communication (for
presentation, for class interaction, and for collaboration), students are
required to be readers, writers, editors, and publishers and must be willing to
collaborate and co-create closely with others -- all skills that are critical for
students to learn as they grow and enter the workplace mostly thos time in
our situation.
 Improves engagement. When technology is integrated into lessons,
students are expected to be more interested in the subjects they are
studying.
 Improves knowledge retention of the students and the the teacher
 Encourages individual learning strategies
 Encourages collaboration to both teacher and learners
 Students can learn useful life skills through technology and be literate to
engaging in 21st century skills.
 Benefits for teachers for them they can easily have an access to their
learners just lil today.
2. Disadvantages of technology tools in a classroom environment.
Answer:
 Technology in the classroom can be a distraction.
 Technology can disconnect students from social interactions.
 Technology can foster cheating in class and on assignments.
 Students don’t have equal access to technological resources.
 The quality of research and sources they find may not be top-notch.
 Lesson planning might become more labor-intensive with technology.

WALK THE EXTRA MILE

ACTIVITY 3: Reflection
Direction: Reflect on the use of technology and on its relevance and
appropriateness.

Consider how technology has become such an important part of learning. Technology
allows for a finer, more individualized degree of interactivity in order to customize the
learning experience based on the needs of the user.
As we are experiencing the distance learning education in this Pandemic, we are all
using this online and learning materials that can be suit to the learners needs in this new
normal setting of educational processes, as the technology is now getting huge, we as
belong to the 21st century generations we should probably use our capabilities to

manipulate technological advancements to ensure our learnings that could learn by our
own learning styles.as we all known that Technology provides new resources for
learning that overcomes distance and time. The addition of this valuable tool,
technology, into our education system is a slow process. It begins as one single idea of
how to use technology in education. That one idea soon becomes noted as a meaningful
addition and so more uses of technology are developed across more curriculums.
Technology becomes integrated in multiple ways for instructional purposes. As a new
technology is developed, educatorsor teachers think and reflect on how that too should
become incorporated into their classrooms that regards with technology in a new normal
styles of learning and teaching process.as time goes by there is a wild flurry of growth
and activity while technology is added to support teachers' instruction and students’
learning when the conditions are right. It takes funding and committed support of all
parties involved not just only the teacher and the students but we also consider those
personnel that involves (administrations, boards, parents, students, teachers) to develop
appropriate projects for the integration of technology into our educational systems mostly
today. This technology aspects also provides a teacher and student to interact each

Technology is supposed to play in effective and efficient assessment of learning. The


technology in modern times has reshaped the teaching learning process as it offers various number
of tools that can be used in the classroom to enhance the learning to a great extent. Technology
has the ability to support teachers by assessing students' learning in terms of their performance in
the classroom. The use of ICT in assessment is now common where it utilizes digital devices which
help in construction of assessment tasks for students. It helps in delivery of assessment tasks. Not
only construction or delivery, the ICT has the ability to give grades or feedback to students. It is
essential for schools to encourage themselves to strengthen their commitment to developing a
better assessment practice which can support teachers, students and other stakeholders (Marina,
2015).
Geoffrey (2011) in his Teacher's Handbook that was one-Assessment stated that the
assessment which is based on ICT can be taken up with many technological devices. These
devices include desktop or laptops, smart phones, iPads etc. ICT based assessment has the
capability to use various kind of formats like as text, videos, images and sounds. Teachers in
teaching learning process can use these modern technologies to build their assessment, to convey
these tasks to those students for which it is made. After that the teacher can assign the grades to
the students based on the conducted assessment. Computers can also be helpful in analyzing the
responses of the students. Not only analyzing the responses, it can give feedback to students as
well as to teachers regarding the quality of the questions asked. The assessment based on ICT is
also used to test the different types of capabilities in the students. There strengths and weakness
can also be analyzed. There are various kinds of tasks which are not suitable for the computer to
evaluate them but most of the time the technology becomes a powerful tool in carrying out the tasks
which are very much tough for a common human being to evaluate in a little span of time.

(a) Computer Assisted Assessment (CAA): Computer-assisted assessment is used to assess
learning and performance of the students. It includes all types of assessments whether
formative or summative assessment and which is then conveyed with the assistance of these
modern technologies. Delivery of the assessment is made online as well as offline. Computer
Assisted Assessment follows the formative assessment where it helps the students to check
their knowledge. It is basically done to know whether the student has learned the task or not
and to give timely feedback to the students which mainly teaches the teacher educator to
know the best way to teach any subject. The initial hope of this study had been that CAA
yields better results for students and would also engage them creatively on a stronger level
and therefore increase satisfaction (Schoen and Keegan, 2016). Examples of computer
assisted assessment are the OMR that is used to grade MCQs and various other database
programs that help in recording student marks.

(b) Computer Adaptive Testing (CAT): In the recent development in technology is the use of
computer adaptive testing which enhances the testing process to a great extent. While a
student is subjected to answer questions, the technology is capable of adjusting the level of
the difficulty. The technology accesses how a student is answering the questions and how
much mistakes the student is making, Based on that concept the technology will adjust the
other questions accordingly. If the student is making many mistakes while answering the
questions, the software will take the student back to the previous questions. Further, the
technology is capable of putting questions from previous learned content as well. As the
technology is increasing its area, it became as the easiest method to use it in the educational
contexts. (Khoshsima and Toroujeni, 2017).

(c) E-Portfolio: Electronic portfolio is a process of gathering of e-evidence collected and


maintained by a person on the web. Such kind of e-evidence include written text, files,
multimedia, images and hyperlinks. The Eportfolios is basically useful for assessing the
abilities of the person. The person maintaining these kinds of portfolios online is having an
eye on his strengths and weaknesses. An e-portfolio works as a learning record for the
person where his achievements can be analyzed by the person himself or another person.
These kinds of records are related to learning of a person to a great extent. We are usually
having two kinds of portfolios i,e. the traditional and e-portfolio. The main gape is that in the
traditional and e-portfolio is only the sharing or making the progress or achievement available
online. (Donaire et. al., 2010).

(d) Digital Rubrics: A rubric is basically a criterion which is set for the work of the students. The
rubrics has included descriptions in the subjective manner about the performance of the
students. Rubrics is mainly used to have a look at the key constituents of an assignment.
Rubrics assume the expectation from students before the start of the learning activity. They
make students aware of the thing that learning is to make integrated with the necessary skills.
After making the use of a rubric, the student are able to access their weakness. The way of
assessment in rubrics follows the formative type of assessment as student is able to know the
weakness in any area where he/she needs to improve. UIJRT | United International Journal
for Research & Technology | Volume 01, Issue 03, 2019 All rights are reserved by

construction of a rubric.

(e) Online Assessment: Online assessment is usually followed when any instructor needs any
information pertaining to some content. The assessment is made online where an instructor sets
some sort of a questionnaire to get it filled from the opponent. With the help of the emerging
technology, it is easy for instructors to design an online test and get the response of that test via
web. There are a lot of agencies working under this platform. Some of them are free while most are
paid.

(f) Survey Tools: There are many online survey tools like survey monkey, poll daddy or lime survey.
These kinds of tools can be used to collect feedback from students regarding any matter. In some
situations where we are creating a survey of bipolar set of opinions, this kind of web-based tools
can be used.

(g) Wikis: A wiki is a website that allows users to collaboratively edit and create content. A very
good example of a wiki is Wikipedia, a collaboratively created online encyclopedia. The Wikis are
becoming very much popular now a day. Because it facilitates collaboration among learners. The
contribution made in wiki by the learners can be assessed by the teachers as well. Therefore, it can
be very much helpful while using it as a tool for accessing peers.

Schools use a diverse set of ICT tools to communicate, create, disseminate, store, and
manage information. In some contexts, ICT has also become integral to the teaching-learning
interaction, through such approaches as replacing chalkboards with interactive digital
whiteboards, using students’ own smartphones or other devices for learning during class time,
and the “flipped classroom” model where students watch lectures at home on the computer and
use classroom time for more interactive exercises. When teachers are digitally literate and trained
to use ICT, these approaches can lead to higher order thinking skills, provide creative and
individualized options for students to express their understandings, and leave students better
prepared to deal with ongoing technological change in society and the workplace. ICT issues
planners that includes: considering the total cost-benefit equation, supplying and maintaining the
requisite infrastructure, and ensuring investments are matched with teacher support and other
policies aimed at effective ICT use.
Digital culture and digital literacy: Computer technologies and other aspects of digital
culture have changed the ways people live, work, play, and learn, impacting the construction and
distribution of knowledge and power around the world. Graduates who are less familiar with digital
culture are increasingly at a disadvantage in the national and global economy. Digital literacy—
the skills of searching for, discerning, and producing information, as well as the critical use of new
media for full participation in society—has thus become an important consideration for curriculum
frameworks.

HOW FAR HAVE WE GONE?

Digital literacy is being built through the incorporation of information and communication
technology (ICT) into schools. Some common educational applications of ICT include:

 One laptop per child: Less expensive laptops have been designed for use in school on a
1:1 basis with features like lower power consumption, a low cost operating system, and
special re-programming and mesh network functions. Despite efforts to reduce costs,
however, providing one laptop per child may be too costly for some developing countries.

 Tablets: Tablets are small personal computers with a touch screen, allowing input without
a keyboard or mouse. Inexpensive learning software (“apps”) can be downloaded onto
tablets, making them a versatile tool for learning. The most effective apps develop higher
order thinking skills and provide creative and individualized options for students to
express their understandings.

 Interactive White Boards or Smart Boards: Interactive white boards allow projected
computer images to be displayed, manipulated, dragged, clicked, or copied.
Simultaneously, handwritten notes can be taken on the board and saved for later use.
Interactive white boards are associated with whole-class instruction rather than student-
centered activities. Student engagement is generally higher when ICT is available for
student use throughout the classroom.

 E-readers: E-readers are electronic devices that can hold hundreds of books in digital
form, and they are increasingly utilized in the delivery of reading material. Students—both
skilled readers and reluctant readers—have had positive responses to the use of e-
readers for independent reading. Features of e-readers that can contribute to positive use
include their portability and long battery life, response to text, and the ability to define
unknown words. Additionally, many classic book titles are available in e-book forms.

 Flipped Classrooms: The flipped classroom model, involving lecture and practice at home
via computer-guided instruction and interactive learning activities in class, can allow for
an expanded curriculum. There is little investigation on the student learning outcomes of
flipped classrooms. Student perceptions about flipped classrooms are mixed, but
generally positive, as they prefer the cooperative learning activities in class over lecture.

ICT can provide diverse options for taking in and processing information, making sense of
ideas, and expressing learning. Over 87% of students learn best through visual and tactile
modalities, and ICT can help these students ‘experience’ the information instead of just reading
and hearing it. Mobile devices can also offer programs (“apps”) that provide extra support to
students with special needs, with features such as simplified screens and instructions, consistent
placement of menus and control features, graphics combined with text, audio feedback, ability to
set pace and level of difficulty, appropriate and unambiguous feedback, and easy error
correction.

ACTIVITY 2: Reflection

Technology for Teaching and Learning 1 bunieleddilyn@gmail.com | 09099030078


Reflect on the following statements:
1. As a future teacher, how will you integrate ICT in teaching-learning process
and in assessing tasks?

As a future teacher to my future students, the first thing is knowing the tools that
are right for your classroom, is the most effective way to use them, it can be challenging
at first. To make things easier to a teacher, it’s important to start by determining your
goals and objectives for technology-use by our students. One thing for sure also that we
should have to consider the accessibility of our students in any devices whether he/she
can use the technology well. We need to assess them to learn in using and
manipulating devices that related or including ict for us to evaluate and gather
information from our students who among of them are knowledgeable enough in using
technology.
As a future teacher I should integrate ICT or information computer technology in
teaching-learning process to encourage the development of the students into flexible
learning materials. Also to increase the accessibility of information and lesson materials
to students with low abilities in the subject matter. Integrating of ict in a classroom also
can both teachers and students are able to communicate via e-mails, use the web in
researching and locating resources, create online groups and build wikis, participate in
online collaborative activities, and apply technology-enhanced/web-based lessons in the
classroom.

2. As a future teacher, what is the importance of ICT in assessing students’


learning?

The use of ICT can help teachers by storing and recording information about how
students are developing understanding of new material and by taking over some of the
role of assessing and providing feedback to students so that teachers can focus on other
aspects of supporting learning.
The assessments are usually done using grades/marks and its primary goal is to
compare students’ achievements with a set of predefined standards. This is only to
evaluate the capability of the students that regards to the instructions of a teacher. ICT
is very important for the part of a teacher to easily assessing the development results of
students from their outputs or learning outcomes. Teacher can enable to direct give rate,
record the data of scores, tests results, portfolios, works in progress, feedback from
classroom performances, etc. can be collected at the desired rate, and compiled in the
desired format. Using ICT also can help a teacher to assist students to study like giving
materials that can be the bases of the content of the learners and can connect to his /her
students for them to be able to communicate for the discussion of learning via zoom, or
any applicable applications that can enable to have room communication.

WALK THE EXTRA MILE

ACTIVITY 3
Direction: Teachers need to make sure that their learners are actively listening
and participating in their class discussions. One of the strategy to keep the students
attentive is through creating a lively and exciting learning experience. Therefore, as a
future teacher, formulate a lesson plan utilizing innovative technologies in facilitating
teaching-learning experiences.
