my classroom.

 MODULE 1, LESSON 1, ACTIVITY 3

Look fora colleague with whom youwould like to discuss your answers and reflections with to the questions in Activities 1 and 2.

Upon discussing with my co-teacher regarding how I will respond to the completion of these LDM2 modules, I
had gained optimistic spirit of enlightenment. Subjecting myself to undergo through this process will not only benefit
me a lot but it will also benefit my learners under the new normal school setting wherein face-to-face learning is
prohibited because of health risks brought about by CoVid 19. Learning must continue no matter what the situation is.
Learning is possible because there are other learning modalities that can be used to make learning effective to happen.

The challenges to having a successful LAC are providing these resources:

1. Finding Experts- this is a resource that the school may engage in such as an internal specialist or an external
resource speaker who is very knowledgeable to the identified LAC topic.

2. Learning Materials - these are resources that can be developed or are readily available that the LAC facilitator
will use as a reference in the conduct of LAC. There are a wide variety of learning materials that may be looked
into when preparing for LAC such as textbooks, reference books, curriculum guides, INSET materials, web-
based resources, and multimedia, among others.
