Episode 13
An app, (a shorter way of saying application) is a kind of software which can be installed
in various gadgets – a desktop, laptop, smartphone, and tablet. There are thousands of apps,
each with specific functions. A wide range of functions among others includes, ordering food,
getting a ride, getting a date, doing a bank transaction and even praying and meditating. Now,
there are those that are directly useful for teaching and learning which can be referred to as
educational apps. Whether the class is face-to-face, blended, or fully online, a vast number of
apps can truly enhance the teaching-learning process.
The judicious use of apps can make the teaching-learning process more effective,
efficient, and equally important, more fun and satisfying for both the teacher and the students.
The teacher can use apps in the different stages of planning, preparation, implementation and
assessment. Teachers use apps to prepare high-impact presentations that help them deliver
content. Teachers also use apps to motivate students to participate, resulting in greater and
more enjoyable engagement. Apps are also used to assess, document and report performance
and achievement.
Your task in this episode is to demonstrate your skills in choosing and using
appropriate applications, enhancing both the delivery of content and the learning and
mastery of students. You will accomplish this as you participate and assist in your resource
teacher’s class. Whether the class is purely online or blended, carefully observe how the
teacher utilizes apps for e-learning.

students or use it during class time to extend or deepen learning towards a specific 21st century
