2.8 Responsiveness The COVID-19 epidemic has irreparably altered the educational
landscape and fundamentally changed how we learn. The rapid use
of educational technology (EdTech) as a way to guarantee
continuous learning continuity was spurred by this unusual scenario.
EdTech has become a significant facilitator, allowing institutions to
adapt to shifting student demands and promote the development of
new skill sets despite geographical constraints. In order to provide
flexibility, increase engagement, and offer learning solutions that are
of a high global level, EdTech combines technology and digital
media with conventional teaching techniques by supporting
multimodal forms of learning. Thus, the program was born out of the
said concern.
2.9 Innovation The most important component of the program is to be able to utilize
other means of delivering quality education to our learners. During
the time of the COVID-19 Pandemic, it became apparent to the
whole world that the educational system will definitely struggle.
However, with the use of technology, we were able to overcome that
hurdle. This program has set forth a new standard in being able to
improve the reading skills of learners. Utilizing the Reading Progress
and Immersive Reader in MS Teams, yields more accurate data
which in turn will help teachers in formulating better teaching
strategies.
2.10 Outcomes/ The time when the aforementioned program was conducted, it was
Results/ still during the COVID-19 Pandemic. And as of that time period,
Impact there was still restrictions and protocols being implemented by the
Department of Health and LGU’s. Hence, the perfect timing for the
implementation of the program. Trough the objectives set, these are
the results:
1. Teachers have learned how to better utilize Microsoft
Productivity Tools, such as MS Office which is often used in
schools and even other office organizations.
2. Be able to use MS Teams in conducting hybrid, blended, and
remote learning amongst pupils/students.
3. Utilizing the Reading Progress and Immersive Reader in
Microsoft Teams to be able to accurately monitor reading
progress.
4. Being able to establish fun and excitement amongst learners
when utilizing MS Teams in reading activities and the like.
Teachers are now equipped with additional skills in utilizing Microsoft
Productivity Tools in classroom management.
2.11 Sustainability One of the featured tools in the program is MS Teams. And inside of
the said application, teachers and learners can engage in Reading
Progress and Immersive Reader. These activities are evaluated
accurately so as even the learner will be able to constructively grasp
their reading development. Because of that, MS Teams was and is
still being utilized by teachers through the encouragement of their
respective school heads. This was also used in a “Reading Derby”,
which was a competition held last S.Y. 2022-2023, to be able to
determine which schools and districts had the highest score in their
learners’ reading skills.
