CHAPTER 3: Non-digital and Digital Skills and Tools in

Delivering Technology – Enhanced Lesson

LESSON 1: Development and Use of Non-digital or Conventional


Materials

Time Allocation: 2 hours

 Intended Learning Outcome(s):

 select ICT and conventional learning materials designed to enhance


teaching-learning process;

Course Outcome(s):
Develop a non-digital and digital tools to be used in delivering technology –
enhanced lessons.

Introduction

Teaching becomes rewarding when learners get the most from instruction as
manifested in their performance. An important element in engaging learners is when the
strategy used in delivering the lesson uses an instructional material. When properly and
appropriately used, it can spice up a classroom activity.
These instructional materials may come in varied forms. One group refers to the
conventional or non-digital tools. A classroom will always need a chalkboard or dioramas,
puppets, terrarium, and the like, will always find their significance in any classroom.
However, nowadays, lessons can be made more relevant and engaging for learners as
digital tools are integrated.

Preliminary Question(s)
 As you prepare to be a teacher, why instructional materials like diorama is
important?

Non-digital or Conventional Materials

Instructional Materials refer to any pre-existing materials that are being incorporated,
as well as to those that will be specifically develop their objectives (Haigler, 2014). There
are also several factors to consider in developing instructional materials:
1. Develop a story board and working outline based on the subject goals and
objectives.
2. Identify existing institutional resources including materials and teachers’ capability.
3. The teacher may research off the shelf materials that have been developed by
others to determine if their approach could be useful.
4. Explore the possibility of adapting new concepts of other teachers without
infringing on anyone’s copy protected design.
5. Modify existing materials based on objectives of the lesson.
6. If the instructional materials are effective, you can share them with other teachers.
7. The developer can also sell his/her materials available.

Instructional materials are a great help in stimulating and facilitating the learning of
the learners. According to Wright (1976:1) as cited in Cakir (2006) many media and may
styles of visual presentation are useful to the language learner. All audio-visual materials
have positive contributions to language learning as long as they are used at the right
time, in the right place. In the teaching–learning process. Learners use their eyes as well
as their ears, but their eyes are basic in learning.

Introduction

The current systems employ technologies by integrating ICT tools and applications in
education and in instruction. ICT stands for Information and Communications Technology.
This refers to various tools and devices or gadgets used in communicating,
disseminating, creating, storing, and managing information. It is important that learners
understand how to use these tools in helping them learn.
A great part of learning is working on information and using it to create something
that can be useful and edifying for humanity. Since the intention of useful and productive
citizens, the use of ICT tools can provide a lot of possibilities on how learners can do
something with what they know. Teachers can therefore employ ICT tools in their way of
engaging learners by communicating, disseminating, and managing information. This
direction of integrating ICT tools will reveal the usefulness of employing ICT tools in a
wider range of the teaching and learning process.
It is not necessarily the presence of advanced technology or the use of ICT tools that
can ensure the success in engaging learners, but it still remains that the effective use of
ICT tools depends on how the teacher will use them. There is a variety of ICT tools from
which to choose. When employed appropriately, the potentials of their uses can have
bearing on the lesson and the learners’ engagement in the process of learning. In
instruction, the ICT tools can be used in the presentation of the lesson, demonstrating a
point or presenting a concept. There are tools that can be used in providing practice or
provide the chance to apply the skills taught. Even when working as a team or a group,
tools can be employed to facilitate the accomplishment of the task during the class or
even after beyond the face-to-face session.

Preliminary Question(s)
 As a 21st century teacher, how can you select and used an appropriate digital tool
in teaching?
 How do you describe yourself teaching a lesson inside the classroom? What will
you do to engage student learning? Will you use technology? Why or why not?

Looking at the figure above, ICT integration in education allows ease of processing of
information, effective accessibility to resources, easy sharing of resources, expression of
creativity and effective collaboration. All these are easily done using the gadget you have
in your pockets or backpacks.
Let me walk you through the selection and use of a digital tool and how you can
integrate it in your lesson.

A. Using Mobile Phone and the QR Code


Since ICT integration allows ease of processing of information,
here’s an example of how we can read information at a quicker
speed and in an interesting manner.
Have you seen a symbol like this one below? This is now popularly
used in different products, reading materials, and even in
museums. This is a QR code. What is a QR code? Are you familiar
with a QR code?

Familiarize yourself with a QR code. It is a code that was created by a Japanese


corporation Denso-Wave in 1994. Effectively and efficiently connecting the physical world
with the electronic world, QR stands for ‘Quick Response.’ It allows the readers to decode
the information at a high rate of speed. This is popular in Japan and it is also used by
companies as they attach their QR code in their products. It usually gives a URL linking
you to a website or immediately provides the salient information about the product.

You can easily read QR codes through a QR code scanner. Here’s all you need to
do:
1. Have a mobile phone with a camera;
2. Using the mobile phone, download from Playstore or App Store the QR Code
Reader/Scanner application. Choose an appropriate QR Code reader for your
operating system whether iOS or Android. Once installed in your gadget, you
can use it to read the codes.
3. Focus your camera on the QR code. Click it and the message will be revealed
to you.

6
Technology for Teaching and Learning I
Cebu Technological University
More interesting than reading QR codes is creating your own QR codes. How will you
make your own QR code?

Step 1: Be online.
Step 2: Search for a QR code generator and ensure that you read the information about
the application. This is important to ensure your safety in the Internet. There are
tons of QR code generators out there, but a few of the most popular include
Kaywa, GOQR.me, Visualead, and QR Stuff. There are many FREE applications
online and therefore you can take this chance to use them.
Step 3: Once you have identified your free online QR Code Generator, you can now
encode the text or the information that you want.
Step 4: Run it and save it as a jpeg file. Now, you have successfully created your own
code which you can download.
Step 5: Test the QR code using your QR code reader or scanner.

B. Using Laptop and the Infographics


There is an apparent deluge of information around and access to these is made
easier through the Internet. You are faced with one major question on how to best
interpret it all and put it into one cohesive information that is quick and clear to read.
In the teaching and learning context, you may be faced with a challenging topic given
a short amount of time. How can you capture and deliver that information simply and
effectively while making it engaging and informative as well? Infographics are an
immediate answer to this situation. The infographic is another interesting tool to use in
instruction.
An infographic is a visual representation or an image such as diagram, chart or
picture representing information or data. It is eye-catching and makes use of a clear
layout, attractive colors and hues, and caricatures that provide a cohesive presentation of
the information.
If it is used to market products in the increasing visual world, then infographics can
also be employed in marketing information and ideas in the teaching and learning
process.
One tool that can be used in creating infographics is Canva (http://www.canva.com).
It has several infographics template for education. You can try out the free design
elements and produce one just like a professional infographic designer. You can start
exploring this site and familiarize yourself with its features. As a gentle reminder, please
take time to read the instructions and navigate around the features to get optimal use of
it.

C. Ipad/Tablet and the Online Bulletin Board


Creativity and collaboration are fun! A dull and boring bulletin board can be made
interesting when done online. Posts when done with themed backgrounds, stylish
fonts and varied colors become attractive to the learners. An online bulletin board is a
way of presenting ideas with a twist and interest with no cost at all. Here’s how:

Step 1: Search for https://padlet.com/


Step 2: Sign up or log-in using any of your social media account.
Step 3: If you want to make your own, click MAKE A PADLET.
a. You can choose Start with a Blank or Pick a Template.
b. Start making posts by clicking the + sign.
c. Make your posts as creative as you can by clicking Modify and selecting
your choice of color, font, theme, etc.
7
Technology for Teaching and Learning I
Cebu Technological University
d. You can now share your Padlet or online bulletin board to your friends.
Click Share and allow others to have access to it or you can share through
the social media account where others can view it.
Step 4: If you want to join someone’s bulletin board, click JOIN A PADLET.
a. Enter in the dialog box the URL of the padlet you want to join.
b. Start posting on your friend’s/classmate’s padlet by clicking the +
sign.

Introduction

The learners of this generation are a new kind of breed and it is important that
teachers understand how to deal with them. They seem to thrive in collaborative learning.
They like to connect to the social networking sites. Creating and producing something are
what they prefer to do rather than become consumers of information inside the
classroom. They like to be mobile either physically or virtually as they traverse from point
to point or site to site. Apparently, they seem to be investing a huge amount of their time
in a digital social environment although they can be more self-directed in choosing what
they want to learn, how they want to learn and when they want to learn.

Preliminary Question(s)
 As a 21st century teacher, how can you identify collaborative applications to be
integrated in your class?
 How can you build an online account that can be used for collaborative work?

II. CONNECT

One way to engage students is to


give them a challenge and a chance to
work together. An example is when you
give them an issue to discuss which
they can continue talking about even if
they are outside of the class. Students
may continue the discussion and share
information or come up with an
agreement by texting, emailing,

9
Technology for Teaching and Learning I
Cebu Technological University
chatting, or using the online document. Once they have agreed, they can move to
the next step of presenting their agreements or resolutions to the whole class.
Normally in a regular classroom, teachers may have discouraged students
from conversing with classmates during individual work, but sometimes there are
positive things that can come out of it as students talk about the task assigned to
them or as they work themselves of a complicated task.
.
There are a lot of available tools and applications that can be used to work
collaboratively with classmates during individual work, but sometimes there are
positive things that can come out of it as students talk about the task assigned to
them or as they work themselves of a complicated task.
There are a lot of available tools and applications that can be used to work
collaboratively with others. Some of these are Skype, wikis, blog, google form,
web conferencing, Realtimeboard, among others. You need to explore each
application to be familiar with the features.

1. Skype is a software application allowing you to do a videoconferencing for free.


All you need is to create an account and can be used for a video meeting.
2. Wiki is a software that allows you to create a page or a selection of pages
designed to allow you to post or write, edit, or upload a link quickly. This is good
when students need to work together to complete a task even if they are not
physically together. A task such as writing a paper together, planning a
presentation or surveying ideas from team members can be managed by a
wikispace that efficiently allows one to document the contribution of each member
in the team. Work can be extended virtually and asynchronously.
3. Blogging. In blogging, it is journaling your ideas to which others can react
allowing a thread of discussion to take place and which can be used online. It is
the abbreviation of weblog. It would help if you provide direction when using a
weblog.
a. Use weblog with a clear instructional objective. It is an opportunity to
explore the skill of communicating ideas. Like in a writing class, you can
guide students on how to design the whole blog or upload materials and
support students in developing critical communication.
b. Guidance on what and how to post will be needed. Teach the students
that the blogging is for educational purposes and is different from a
personal blog. Proper or formal language variety should be used. Writing
prompt would help to guide your students’ posts.
c. With easy access to information, a major obligation is to teach the
students to use multiple sources and to cite them appropriately.
d. Writing about your ideas is a personal act but it is important that you are
taught to make blogs personal without revealing too much of personal
information such as contact information and too personal pictures. When
writing blogs, you write your reflections but safeguarding yourself is also
an important consideration.
e. It may help if you can look for very good examples of blogs. There are
online and print publications that review blogs and you can use the
information to guide you toward getting good models.
4. Google Group or Google Form is an application that can be used in a
collaborative documentation of ideas contributed by members of the team. Having
a google account will come very handy and you can easily have access to a
variety of applications.

The Digital Literacies

Digital Literacies are the individual’s capabilities to be able to effectively and


responsibly function and perform in a digital society. The term ‘digital literacy’ was coined
by Paul Gilster in 1997 and it came from a discussion of the concepts on (a) visual
literacy when images and non-verbal symbols try to capture the knowledge; (b)
technological literacy requiring one to be able to use technology in addressing a need; (c)
computer literacy, which in 1980’s started to become a household item manipulate to
achieve one’s target; (d) information literacy which refers to the finding, evaluating, using
and sharing of information.
In the teaching and learning context, digital literacy is an important competence. In
School, it has become a buzzword which refers to the ability to access, process,
understand, utilize, and create media content using information technologies and the
internet (Hsieh, 2012).

 Varied Forms of Digital Literacy

1. Media Literacy
2. Information Literacy
3. ICT Literacy
4. Communication and Collaboration
5. Identity Management
6. Learning Skills
7. Digital Scholarship

 The Four C’s Of the 21st Century Skills

1. Critical Thinking is how to solve


problems. It teaches students not to
accept immediately claims without
seeking the truth. It is the ability to
differentiate facts from opinion and
not only just learn a set of facts or
figures but also discover these for the
sake of knowing what ought to be.

2. Creativity requires students to think


out of the box and to take pride in
what is uniquely theirs. It means that
they will be able to look at a problem
from multiple perspective – including
can propose multiple possibilities and
alternatives to address a problem and
they need to take calculated risk.
3. Communication makes students
express their ideas in the clearest
13
Technology for Teaching and Learning I
Cebu Technological University
and organize manner. Through varied modes – face-to-face, technologically
mediated or a blended medium, they need to know how to efficiently and clearly
convey ideas.
4. Collaboration happens when students know how to work well with others to
accomplish a given task or solve a problem at hand. This is a 21 st essential. When
students are made to work with others in a pair or in a team, they are given the
chance to practice how to relate with others. They may be working with
classmates they do not really prefer to work with but with guidance, you can teach
them to tap on the capabilities of each member of the team and collaboratively
achieve their goal.

In addition with the 4C’s, there are Citizenship and Character. Citizenship is known
as netizenship in the virtual world. This is making the person consider one behaves
accordingly by observing the norms and rules that are in accordance with what are
sociably and virtually acceptable. As a result, one is projecting a reputable digital identity
which is his or her character.
 Digital Literacy Skills vs. Digital Literacy

Digital Literacy Skills are required in the wired world. These skills vary from texts to
images to multimedia. Future teachers who will be handling students considered as tech
savvy should equip themselves competencies and fluencies needed to handle the fast
emerging tools and applications that should be able to handle even the artificial
intelligence
Lynch (2017), identified eight digital literacy skills needed to become digitally literate.
These are:
1. Coding
2. Collaboration
3. Cloud Software
4. Word Processing Software
5. Screencasting
6. Personal Archiving
7. Information Evaluation
8. Use of Social Media

Here are examples of how digital skills or proficiency support Digital Literacy.
