Were the instructional materials categorized under educational technologies? How were they used effectively in the teaching and learning process?

Yes it was categorized under educational technologies because old or new are still educational tool. The laptop, the globe and the projector are all educational technologies. The teacher used the projector to give off the information so the students can easily read the information being projected while the globe is used to elaborate the countries properly.

Describe the teaching practices employed in the class. How did it expand students’ acquisition of 21st century skills?

The class teacher just let the students get the information by basically projecting the information through a projector then explaining it correctly and concisely to his students. In that way the students will help themselves develop their communication and collaboration skills which is needed to be called as te 21st century learner.

Younger Generation

Teaching and Learning Environment

We use books, magazines, newspapers, typewriters and our surroundings in learning are most used.

We still used the books, magazines, newspaper but not the typewriters because we most use now the computer which is more upgraded one. Our learning environment are also used but not that usually.

Teaching Method

It was more of pen and paper tests

The methods are recognized through our performances and actions not just only in what we write on paper.

Instructional Materials and Technology Used

We use books that are given to us by our teacher and do our research in the library.

Today we don’t just use books and other articles we have the internet, computers, laptops for learning and teaching. It is not just for games and entertainment but for learning as well.

How was learning Achieved

Listen to your teacher and read books and if you can’t find the information you have to go to a library.

Today learning is easily to be acquired. The use of technology really helps to get a wider information.

Assessments

(Traditional Assessment) we refers to the use of pencil and paper objective test

(Authentic Assessment) we refer to the use of assessment methods that stimulate real-world situations.

Class Activities

I remember the only way of our class activities is having quizzes and written examination

We perform for example; role play, music videos and what not
