“If teachers teach more than teaching,

LEARN BEYOND LEARNING JAMES RHEN D. MELENDREZ


1. INTRODUCTION/BACKGROUND OF THE PROJECT
1.1 Educational Thrusts/Frameworks

UNESCO (United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization) has been


promoting Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) since 1992. It led the UN Decade for
ESD from 2005 to 2014 and is now spearheading its follow-up, the Global Action Programme
(GAP) on ESD.
The momentum for ESD has never been stronger. Global issues – such as climate change,
cultural diversity, and gender sensitivity– urgently require a shift in our lifestyles and a
transformation of the way we think and act. To achieve this change, we need new knowledge, skills,
values and attitudes that lead to more inclusive and sustainable societies.
Education systems must respond to this pressing need by defining relevant learning
objectives and learning contents, introducing pedagogies that empower learners, and urging their
institutions to include sustainability principles in their management structures.
The new 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development clearly reflects this vision of the
importance of an appropriate educational response. Thus, education is explicitly formulated as a
stand-alone goal – Sustainable Development Goal 4, which aims to “ensure inclusive and equitable
quality education and promote lifelong learning opportunities for all.”
Not only that education stands as an independent goal; it also is a means for attaining all the
other SDGs. It is not only an integral part of sustainable development layout, but also a key enabler
that represents an essential strategy in the pursuit of the other SDGs.
To Irina Bokova, Director-General of UNESCO “A fundamental change is needed in the
way we think about education’s role in global development, because it has a catalytic impact on the
well-being of individuals and the future of our planet. ... Now, more than ever, education has a
responsibility to be in gear with 21st century challenges and aspirations, and foster the right types of
values and skills that will lead to sustainable and inclusive growth, and peaceful living together.”
This statement clearly implies the greater role education plays in the 21st century context, more so in
the attainment of the other sustainable development goals. Now more than ever, education is
regarded as a valuable catalyst able to impact and create change not only among students in schools,
but among people, communities, and the world as a whole.
Further, given the notion of cross-cutting competencies and integrating as many SDGs as
possible amidst cultural diversity in education, another inspiration is taken into account – the
international baccalaureate education. It is an internationally recognized education program
specifically tailored for learners whose age ages range from nine to eighteen. It aims to develop
inquiring, knowledgeable and caring young people who help to create a better and more peaceful
world through intercultural understanding and respect. The IB curriculum is anchored on the idea of
interactive learning and multiculturalism wherein the organization works with schools, governments
and international organizations to develop challenging programmes of international education and
rigorous assessment. “These programmes encourage students across the world to become active,
compassionate and lifelong learners who understand that other people, with their differences, can
also be right.”

Another consideration in designing this project is the k-12 goal that aims to nurturing a
holistically developed Filipino who is equipped with the necessary knowledge and 21 st century
skills, may it be for college education or employment. And in this particular lesson design,
students’ critical thinking, creativity, collaboration, communication, and social skills will be honed
and developed through the varied activities that will explore their different talents and interests.

1.2 JUSTIFICATIONS
1.2.1 Environment and School Support System

AMA Computer Learning Center of Agusan del Sur, Incorporated is one of the 250 Senior
High School campuses in the country under the umbrella of the AMA Education System which also
operates internationally in Thailand, Australia, South Korea, and the Middle East. It has 15 faculty
and staff members, with an enrollment of 277 for both grade 11 and 12. Currently, it offers different
academic strands and TVL specializations namely General Academic Strand (GAS); Accountancy,
Business, and Management (ABM); Humanities and Social Sciences (HUMSS); Home Economics
(TVL-HE); and Information Communication Technology (TVL-ICT). It is also a TESDA
accredited training and assessment center for Wellness Massage, Food and Beverage Services,
Bookkeeping, Visual Graphics Arts Design, Cookery, Bread and Pastry Production, Front Office,
Events Management Services, and Beauty Care.
As part of the country’s largest and pioneering IT institution, ACLC has an innovative way
of delivering learning to its students utilizing trends in education and taking advantage of the advent
of technology. To reduce cost and loads, face-to-face meeting are reduced to three from four each
week with the one meeting done online through the LMS and Blended Online Learning. Blended
learning is an approach to education that combines online educational materials and opportunities
for interaction online with traditional place-based classroom methods. It requires the physical
presence of both teacher and student, with some elements of student control over time, place, path,
or pace. While students still attend "brick-and-mortar" schools with a teacher present, face-to-face
classroom practices are combined with computer-mediated activities regarding content and delivery.
Blended learning is also used in professional development and training settings.
By August of the academic year 2019-2020, ACLC of Agusan del Sur, Inc. is going to
reopen its college with five diploma offerings like Hotel and Restaurant Management and Computer

Technology. It will also retain its senior high school programs with the addition of the Science,
Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM).

1.2.2 The Learners

LEARN BEYOND LEARNING JAMES RHEN D. MELENDREZ


Currently, AMA Computer Learning Center of Agusan del Sur, Incorporated only has senior
high school students coming from different academic strands and TVL specializations – General
Academic Strand (GAS); Accountancy, Business, and Management (ABM); Humanities and Social
Sciences (HUMSS); Home Economics (TVL-HE); and Information Communication Technology
(TVL-ICT). Most of the 277 officially enrolled students are from nearby junior high schools that are
mostly public, though less than a tenth come from private schools. Majority of them are from San
Francisco, Prosperidad, and Rosario while a minority few hail from nearby barangays of Barobo in
Surigao del Sur, Talacogon, and even Bayugan City.
As expected, majority of the students from the academic related strands can perform very
well in their studies. They can do and complete tasks with lesser teacher attention and aid, while the
almost-close-to-the-opposite is happening in their TVL counterparts as most students are still not
academically matured and responsible enough as regards school works and other activities of the
same sort. Further, the advent of technology provides another challenge to teachers as they have to
compete with gadgets, online games, and social media for their students’ attention. This, together
with the learners’ poor study habits and unlikely attitude towards school and learning, presents a
quite massive obstacle in delivering lessons on a day to day encounter.
On the other hand, frequent absenteeism and tardiness is also seen to pose another problem
among students since it directly affects their academic performance, and in the end, their grades.
Unlike in public high schools, this problem is not due to child labor and unavailability of resources,
but rather by the lack of enthusiasm to go to classes as learning and school are seen and regarded as
daily burdens and struggles. Teenage pregnancy is also now considered an alarming problem
especially among TVL students who later stops going to school.
And while generally majority of the students do good in their subjects, in a more detailed
manner, more than half of them is seen poor in both oral and written communication. This is very
evident during class recitations, reports, presentations, and in writing activities such as reflections,
reviews, critiques, and proses.

INSTRUCTIONAL MATERIAL (IM) MODEL

Understanding by Design relies on what Wiggins and McTighe call "backward design" (also
known as "backwards planning"). Teachers, according to UbD proponents, traditionally start
curriculum planning with activities and textbooks instead of identifying classroom learning goals
and planning towards that goal. In backward design, the teacher starts with classroom outcomes and
then plans the curriculum, choosing activities and materials that help determine student ability and
foster student learning.

LEARN BEYOND LEARNING JAMES RHEN D. MELENDREZ


The backward design approach has three stages. Stage 1 is identification of desired results
for students. This may use content standards, common core or state standards. Stage 1 defines
"Students will understand that..." and lists essential questions that will guide the learner to
understanding. Stage 2 is assessing learning strategies. Stage 3 is listing the learning activities that
will lead students to your desired results.

The UbD framework is based on seven key tenets:


1. Learning is enhanced when teachers think purposefully about curricular planning. The UbD
framework helps this process without offering a rigid process or prescriptive recipe.

2. The UbD framework helps focus curriculum and teaching on the development and deepening of
student understanding and transfer of learning (i.e., the ability to effectively use content knowledge
and skill).

3. Understanding is revealed when students autonomously make sense of and transfer their learning
through authentic performance. Six facets of understanding—the capacity to explain, interpret,
apply, shift perspective, empathize, and self-assess—can serve as indicators of understanding.

LEARN BEYOND LEARNING JAMES RHEN D. MELENDREZ


4. Effective curriculum is planned backward from long-term, desired results through a three-stage
design process (Desired Results, Evidence, and Learning Plan). This process helps avoid the
common problems of treating the textbook as the curriculum rather than a resource, and activity-
oriented teaching in which no clear priorities and purposes are apparent.

5. Teachers are coaches of understanding, not mere purveyors of content knowledge, skill, or
activity. They focus on ensuring that learning happens, not just teaching (and assuming that what
was taught was learned); they always aim and check for successful meaning making and transfer by
the learner.

6. Regularly reviewing units and curriculum against design standards enhances curricular quality
and effectiveness, and provides engaging and professional discussions.

7. The UbD framework reflects a continual improvement approach to student achievement and
teacher craft. The results of our designs—student performance—inform needed adjustments in
curriculum as well as instruction so that student learning is maximized.

The Understanding by Design framework is guided by the confluence of evidence from two streams
—theoretical research in cognitive psychology, and results of student achievement studies. A
summary of the key research that undergirds UbD framework can be found at www.ascd.org under
Research A Topic.

- The teacher checks whether the students still can recall the lesson from the previous
meeting. He asks questions and gives a short activity (seatwork).
- After the short activity, the teacher introduces the class to the next activity.

C. Process
Activity 2: The World in Five Minutes
- This time, the class will watch a short video that features prime global cities in the fields of
banking, security, trade and commerce, service, education, and the like.
- The teacher then instructs the students to examine the video very carefully and to jot down
in their notes the most striking characteristics of the cities featured in the video. Such pieces
of information will be used in the next activity.

LEARN BEYOND LEARNING JAMES RHEN D. MELENDREZ


- After the video is watched by the students, the teacher asks questions as regards the cities
featured including how the students feel upon knowing about the cities in the video they
watched.
- After then, the teacher introduces the class to the next activity.

Activity 3: “Write Me a Sentence”


- The teacher divides the class into four groups. Each group is assigned a certain city from the
video which also automatically becomes the name of the group.
- Using their notes from the short video they watched, the students will write a sentence that
contains all the striking characteristics that really like about the city assigned to them in case
they happen to move or live there.

(After three minutes, the students will present the respective sentences constructed by their groups.)

- After the students’ group presentation, the teachers tells the class that the sentences they
constructed have something to do with the text that they are going to read this morning.
- The teacher prepares the students for the text they are going to read through some questions
that tickles their curiosity and imagination.
- Then, the teacher introduces the text to the class by giving each of them a copy.

The More and Less of It


James Rhen D. Melendrez

In 2050, it has been predicted that the limelight of the global economy will shift from
western countries to Asia. In fact, in the next three decades, the richest economies will be China,
India, Russia, South Korea, Indonesia and the Philippines based on the prediction made by the
International Monetary Fund and HSBC in the first quarter of 2016. These countries will be the
front leaders in the movement of the international market.

Economically speaking, it isn’t just a coincidence why these countries top the list. Each of
them holds the greatest key factor for any thriving economy. And it is the thing that they have in
common – big population. With three billion combined residents, these nations hold 40 percent of
the world’s households and command two-thirds of the global total economic outputs.

Undoubtedly, countries with bigger population tend to be more advantageous than the least
occupied ones. These places aren’t just the beating heart of the global economy; they also are the
centers of government offices, manufacturing industries, commercial districts, banking facilities,
education hubs and high-end real estates.

However, bigger population does not only come with remarkable economic advantages.
There are secondary consequences that become magnanimous problems if are not handled well. Air
pollution is becoming a concerning issue among major Asian cities like Beijing, Shanghai, New

LEARN BEYOND LEARNING JAMES RHEN D. MELENDREZ


Delhi, Ulan Bataar, and Chengdu. On the other hand, India, Japan, Indonesia and the Philippines are
trying to solve the equation to manage overcrowding, waste disposal, water pollution and traffic
jams.

Our planet is ever changing. The population is never decreasing and the demand for
everything will never stop. The different consequences of overpopulation are no small fry matters.
They may lead even the strongest economic powerhouses to falter if not given enough attention.
Smart decisions, sustainable development and green technology must be the centerpiece as each
civilization moves forward. And these are what densely populated countries and cities are working
on in the more crowded 21st century.

Analysis
- After reading the text, the teachers asks questions to check how far the students understood
the reading material, and to see the points they had a hard time understanding. Depending on
the interaction and level of comprehension of the students, the teacher may add more
question for probing. Thus, time consumed for this activity may vary too.

 What will be the richest countries in 2050 as cited by the author?


 What is referred to as the greatest driving force for any thriving economy?
 Why does bigger population become an advantage for the countries mentioned?
 What could be the corresponding consequences if a big population is not properly managed?
 Why overpopulation becomes an international concern?

- After seeing that the students have already full understood the text, the teacher then brings
them to the next activity and into the language focus they are to discuss for this meeting.
- The teacher extracts sentences from the text read, and from them have the students explore
the similar features like nouns, clauses, etc. that will then lead them to conclude that today’s
discussion is about parallelism.

Discussion
Activity 4: Let’s Talk About It

Parallelism
Parallelism is the placement or use of similar grammatical forms to express equal or parallel ideas.
Parallel structures may be two or more words, two or more phrases, two or more clauses of the
same type, or two or more sentences of equal ideas.

Parallelism can be used in four ways:

 Parallel Words
Some of my son’s friends are Europeans, Asians and Americans.

What are the words that display parallelism? Europeans, Asians and
Americans, sir!
Why is it so? These words are of the same
grammatical form!

What grammatical form? Adjectives, sir!

Why do you say so? Because the words Europeans,


Asians, and Americans describe
the “son’s friends”.
That’s it! These words are
grammatically the same
because they all belong to one part of
speech which is adjective since they are
used to describe the subject in the sentence.

 Parallel Phrases
He prefers talking with friends, milling around, and getting along with people.

In this example, there are parallel phrases.


What are the phrases in the sentence that
display parallelism?
Talking with friends, milling
around, and getting along with
people.
What makes these phrases parallel
All of to
theone
three phrases are
another? gerund phrases. All are being
introduced by a gerund.
LEARN BEYOND LEARNING JAMES RHEN D. MELENDREZ
These phrases are parallel because they
belong to one grammatical form which
is phrase…specifically gerund phrase.

 Parallel Clauses
I try to show my son that language should not be a barrier, and that the cultures of others be
understood.

Another concept that could be displaying


parallelism are clauses. In this sentence,
where are the parallel clauses? that language should not be a
barrier, and that the cultures of
others be understood, sir!
In what way these clauses become parallel
with each other? The two clauses are logically
connected because they express
one thought.
These two clauses are parallel in the
sense that their thoughts they express
are the same.

 Parallel Sentences
I ate in Vietnamese restaurant; I bought flowers in a Vietnamese flower shop; and I hired a
Vietnamese gardener.

What are the sentences that display


parallelism? I ate in Vietnamese restaurant;
I bought flowers in a Vietnamese
flower shop;
I hired a Vietnamese gardener.

What makes these sentences parallel?


What could be that thought ? They convey only one thought sir!
It may be about the speaker’s
experience during his vacation in
All these sentences are parallel in Vietnam, sir!
the sense that all of them convey or
express only one thought. On the other,
the context where the event or
experience took place is the same.

LEARN BEYOND LEARNING JAMES RHEN D. MELENDREZ


- After the discussion, the teacher lets the students go back to their group work to check if the
sentences they have constructed manifest parallelism.

Generalization

LEARN BEYOND LEARNING JAMES RHEN D. MELENDREZ


Generalization
- After the students are done sharing to the class their own examples, the teacher the sums up
the entire discussion so as to concretize student’s learning and understanding.

What did we discuss again? Parallelism, sir!

What is the concept of parallelism?


What are its concerns? Parallelism is the placement or use of
similar grammatical forms to express
equal or parallel ideas. Parallel
structures may be two or more words,
two or more phrases, two or more
clauses of the same type, or two or
more sentences of equal ideas.

Any question? None!

Clarifications? None!

Violent reactions? None!

- Hearing none, the teacher introduces to the students the next activity. In this part, the teacher
makes sure that more than the language focus, the students also learn to see another equally
important information and values.
- With this, the learners’ attitude and values formation are reinforced and strengthened.

Valuing
Activity 6: Behind the Glamour
- The teachers shows pictures of internationally recognized cities that have succeeded in
becoming prime global leaders in a lot of fields. And how the rapid economic and
population growth affected these cities both positively and negatively.

LEARN BEYOND LEARNING JAMES RHEN D. MELENDREZ


- It is not bad to aim for prosperity. It is what every community’s efforts are for. But we must
remember that we have to maintain the balance between development and sustainability of
resources.

LEARN BEYOND LEARNING JAMES RHEN D. MELENDREZ


LEARN BEYOND LEARNING JAMES RHEN D. MELENDREZ
- No matter how developed modern cities and countries are, if people fail to maintain the
balance between economic growth and environmental sustainability, we can never hide
these glitches behind the figures and the glamour.

“It is only when the last river had been polluted; last tree had
been cut; the last fish had been caught…will we realize that
we cannot eat money.”

- It is indeed very true that our actions have direct impact on the worsening effects of global
warming that we nowadays experience. Though it was tackled in the article that there are
places which are more occupied than the others, the undeniable truth is that the population is
never decreasing. It constantly rises on a global basis. Along with this, human activities are
becoming more intense. More demands are expected in the sectors of agriculture,
manufacturing, power production, transportation and construction. More fuels are needed to
meet global consumption. And therefore more carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases
are released into the atmosphere. Thus global warming becomes more threatening than it
was during the time of our grandparents.
- But it is not the end yet. Still, we can do a lot of things. If conservation is not enough, we
may craft for breakthrough solutions and work as one community with one goal – to protect
our only home no matter what.

- After the valuing activity, the teacher introduces the next activity. He divides the class into
four groups. Each groups has already predetermined members based on the students’
interest.
- Then, the teacher gives the situation.

Activity 5: Parallel Assembly

The United Nations is calling for an emergency meeting. Recent scientific studies suggest that
global warming is getting worse. To respond to this matter, all member nations are called to
attend the Global Warming and Population Development Summit to be held in Paris, France.
The UN Council, together with its stakeholders in promoting the advocacy for environmental
protection will discuss to the delegates the possible events to happen in the near future.

In return, the delegates will present their proposals of the possible ways the summit can do to
raise awareness about environmental protection, conservation and sustainability.

The delegates will be divided into four groups: the ASEAN ADVOCATES, the NATO
FIGHTERS, SUB-SAHARAN PLEADERS and the EU COUNSELS.

There are four ways on how the groups will present: Jingle, Poetry in Motion, Inspirational Story
and Dramatic TV Infomercial.

According to the council, the presenters must not forget to incorporate parallelism in their
outputs. Each presentation must not exceed three minutes.

B. KNOWLEDGE
Activity 1: Review
- The teacher checks whether the students still can recall the lesson from the previous
meeting. He asks questions and gives a short activity (seatwork).
- After the short activity, the teacher introduces the class to the next activity.

Activity 2: “Greatest Fears”


- All of us have fears. There are things we find difficult for us to handle. There are certain
circumstances that we find unconquerable. So, let’s have self-evaluation and let’s begin the
activity.
- Students are instructed to list their three topmost fears 1n the piece of paper provided. The
teacher will call some students to share to the class the things he/she wrote.
- The students will share their fears to the class. After then, the teacher introduces the next
activity to the class.

Activity 3: “I Love Your Accent”


- The world has become more inclusive than it has ever been. And because of this inclusivity,
we are able to permit diversity to foster and grow. Even in our classrooms, diversity and differences
are so evident and observable. We encounter an array of beliefs, languages, and culture. But even
people who share the same culture or language could still be different from one another.
Take for example English speaker who still vary from other because of their distinct ACCENTS.
LEARN BEYOND LEARNING JAMES RHEN D. MELENDREZ
- The teacher divides the class into three groups representing three global accents namely
BRITISH, BLACK AMERICAN, and INDIAN.
- A video presentation will be shown to the class. The video will showcase English speakers
coming from the three distinct accents.

- The teacher will then give the students time to practice the accent assigned to them. A short
text will be provided to each group. Such will be used for their accent practice.
- After the activity, the teacher will give a short discussion. He would then introduce the
lesson through another activity.

“No matter your diversity in language background, there is one thing that applies to everyone -- at
least for once in our lifetime, we need to deliver a speech. But it is not a sad reality at all. There are
a lot of things you can do to mitigate your fear of making and delivering a speech.”

- The teacher introduces the new activity and begins the discussion.

C. Process
Activity 4: “Fear No More”

PRINCILES OF EFFECTIVE SPEECH DELIVERY

1. ARTICULATION -pronouncing the words and speaking with clear diction that effectively
transmits the message of the speaker

2. MODULATION -the capability to adjust or manipulate the resonance and timbre of vocal tone

3. STAGE PRESENCE -the ability to own the stage, able to fill the space and project his/her
personality to the audience.

- STAGE FRIGHT -topmost fear in the world of public speaking

4. FACIAL EXPRESSIONS, GESTURES AND MOVEMENT -without these nonverbal


elements, the speaker may be judged as boring with flat delivery and an unemotional voice

5. AUDIENCE RAPPORT -able to write a speech that would appeal to the audience, connect with
them at a deeper level.

Generalization
- After the discussion, the teacher asks students questions about the lesson. This is to check
how far have they understood the discussion, and what points in the lesson that they had a
hard time understanding.

What are the five major principles in


effective speech delivery? ARTICULATION
MODULATION
STAGE PRESENCE
FACIAL EXPRESSIONS,
GESTURES AND MOVEMENT
AUDIENCE RAPPORT!

help the speaker transmit the message
of his speech more effectively.

How about modulation? Why it is also

in delivering their speeches? With the appropriate adjustment or
manipulation of the resonance and
timber of the vocal tone, the audience
are able to better understand the
message the speaker wants then to
receive and know about.
When can we say that a speaker has a
good stage presence? A speaker has good or even better
stage presence if he is able to fill the
stage and somehow own it the moment
he stepped into it. More than that, he is
also able to project his attitude and
personality which adds to the veracity
of his cause and the message of the
speech itself.

Why are facial expressions, gestures,


and movement deemed to be equally
necessary in delivering a speech? Without these nonverbal elements, the
speaker may be judged as boring with
flat delivery and an unemotional voice.
Thus, if the speaker does not have
these important elements, tendency is
the audience loses interest both in him
and his speech.

Why is audience rapport so indispensable


in delivering a speech? Connection is always necessary.
Through it, we communicate more
effectively. And so, if a speaker lacks
that connection, he will find it hard to
relay the message of his speech with
his audience. No matter the grandeur of
the speech, if the rapport is not there, it
is useless.

LEARN BEYOND LEARNING JAMES RHEN D. MELENDREZ


As young adult learners, how do you
manage to conquer your own difficulties
as regards speech delivery? It really is hard sir, more so if you are
not that linguistically inclined. But it
does not mean it’s hard, then it’s
impossible. The things we discussed,
hopefully, will be able to help us
conquer our difficulties and fears. It
may take time, but in the long run we
surely will improve.

Valuing
- There is so much diversity that even in our classrooms, we get to meet people from different
cultures, and races. And it is not enough to only spot these differences. We have to value
them, and pay respect at all times. And true that it is fun to be with the language and deal
with it the same way other tongues enjoyed it. But we must not forget that there is great
difference between flattery and mockery. Hopefully the activity served its purpose.

3. RECOMMENDATION AND INSIGHTS

With the advent of technology, the world has become a global village. Countries have become more
connected, as well as people as borders virtually disappeared with the rise of a new dimension – the
virtual reality. And given the much better connectivity, information is almost readily available in
any instant with just a few clicks.

The inclusion of technology in most if not all of our daily activities is very undeniable. Even with
the passage of time, technology is progressing as well. There is nothing to deny the fact that
technology has made the lives of common people a lot more comfortable than what it was early
days of written history. Its plus points are now evident in the domain of education as well. And the
role it plays in educating the learners of today is even way greater than in previous eras and
generations.

Technology benefits students the most in a way that they are able to access knowledge at any time
and place of their choice. Nowadays, technology has progressed to such a level that no longer is
learning confined only to the walls of the classrooms. Gone are the days when students in schools
had to wait for classes so that they could clear their doubts and queries in mind. They can now use
technology in order to clear those doubts as they can find answers to these questions almost readily
available. Of course given the appropriate and proper guidance.

Technology has also brought forth the concept of distance education that now allows students to
take part in classes in a virtual manner. Such is a great advantage especially in decongesting
crowded schools whose facilities no longer can accommodate learners in full face-to-face learning
delivery. Furthermore, it also expands the domain of learning beyond the classroom ending the old
notion that schools are where education and learning only occurs.

Moreover, technology also has now made it possible for students to take part more actively in the
learning process. No longer do they only follow what is written in the book – they are a lot more
interested in finding answers to various questions by themselves, as become more matured and
independent learners. They have the necessary leeway to do so because of technology. And just as
the expected effect of the flipped classroom trend, this leads to active participation and that, in turn,
has made them a lot more interested in their studies as they can personally relate and share
something to the class.

It is impossible to think of the world today without technology. It plays a role too indispensable
especially in the field of education. It does not only pave ways for new portals of knowledge to
open, but it also serves as a catalyst for the betterment of education and learning.
