Instructional materials are the content or information conveyed within a course. These
include the lectures, readings, textbooks, multimedia components, and other resources in a
course. These materials can be used in both face-to-face and online classrooms; however, some
must be modified or redesigned to be effective for the online environment. The best instructional
materials are aligned with all other elements in the course, including the learning objectives,
assessments, and activities. Instructional materials provide the core information that students will
experience, learn and apply during a course. They hold the power to either engage or demotivate
students. This is especially true for online courses, which rely on a thoughtful and complete
collection of instructional materials that students will access, explore, absorb, and reference as
Therefore, such materials must be carefully planned, selected, organized, refined, and
used in a course for the maximum effect. The planning and selection of instructional materials
should take into consideration both the breadth and depth of content so that student learning is
optimized.
1. Still Projected Materials - are pictures shown upon a screen by use of a certain type of
machine such as a filmstrip projector, slide projector, overhead projector or TV/VCR. It also
enables educators to convey information to large numbers of people at the same time.
Examples:
also overhead.
35mm slide projectors, direct descendants of the larger-format magic lantern, first came
into widespread use during the 1950s as a form of occasional home entertainment; family
members and friends would gather to view slide shows, which typically consisted of
slides snapped during vacations and at family events. Slide projectors were also widely

3. Printed Materials - As used in this policy, the term "printed materials" means any
publication, document, or record including, but not limited to, the following: newspapers,
magazines, books, photographs, drawings, prerecorded magnetic audio tape and that can be run

usually photographic film or an electronic medium such as a CCD or a CMOS chip. Most
photographs are created using a camera, which uses a lens to focus the scene's visible
wavelengths of light into a reproduction of what the human eye would see.
High comfort level. Most students are very comfortable using print materials to learn.
Cost effective. Print materials can be created and duplicated with little expense.
Readily available. Many distance learning courses can take advantage of existing
textbooks, thus saving the time and expense of creating custom materials.
No audio/visual elements. Print materials are static and are not appropriate for teaching

Time delay. It may take days or weeks for printed matter to travel between student and
teacher.
4. Technological Instructional Media - systems, devices, and apparatus that present and adapt
information during the teaching process in order to improve the process's effectiveness. In terms
of function, such media are generally divided into three types: informational, testing, and
instructional. Informational technological instructional media are of the audiovisual type and
include radio programs, educational films and educational television, slide presentations, and
language laboratories. These media may supplement a lecture or lecture series, or they may be

Electronic whiteboards - are very effective for group instructions. They are used
for group presentations which enhance learning, and also students find it more
compelling.
Mobile devices - enable learners to take their classrooms anywhere. There are
more education apps available already that students, as well as teachers, can use. By
using mobile devices, iPads, tablets, or other devices, educators and learners can maintain
presidential elections, etc. They can also be used to play educational and instructional
Desktops and Laptops - This drives the need for schools to get sophisticated
Projectors - In a large classroom, all students may not be able to view what the
teaching is showing on the laptop screen, that's where projectors come in. A projector
hooks up to a laptop and projects the screen to a larger whiteboard in front of the
classroom.
Any answer to any question can be found with a few clicks of the keys on the
computer or smart phone. Powerful search engines allow an organized and simply way to
find the answers that students may need for assignments or projects.
Before the internet, children knew what their family taught them. This caused
their political and religious views to be the only ones that the children knew. Having
access to the technology will expose them to things outside of their parents' interests and

Learning the same exact way from the same person every day can really
get...boring. This boredom turns into a lack of motivation in the students. When they are
able to integrate computer learning into their normal schedule, they become much more
excited to learn.
Applicable Education
In the working world, in nearly every job you may take, you have to know how to
operate a computer. Teaching this skill in children early will give them an advantages and
The biggest concern when it comes to the use of technology in schools is how
easy pornographic, violent, and other inappropriate materials can be accessed and
viewed. This could cause big problems if the material is shared with other students while
in the classroom.
A Disconnected Youth
This harmful effect of technology has already come to light in today's world.
People are attached to their screens almost 24/7, which is causing an entirely new set of
social issues to pop up. This translates into the school system in a bit of a different way,
however. More and more students are experiencing social anxieties when it comes to face
Giving students access to anonymous accounts and endless contact avenues can
only lead to trouble. Cyber bullying has become a real and in our face problem among
young people today. This harassment has no end, which includes the class room. There is

I. Background
Instructional materials are essential tools in the English language arts classroom. They
allow students to interact with words, images, and ideas in ways that develop their abilities in
multiple literacies such as reading, listening, viewing, thinking, speaking, writing, and
technology. Because instructional materials are a primary resource for English language arts

helps teachers to achieve program goals, but also helps schools protect the integrity of programs

selection policies should reflect local interests and issues and should be consistent with other
What do we mean by "instructional materials"? In the past, the answer might have been
simply textbooks and workbooks. Today, however, the range has broadened considerably,
including young adult and graphic novels, informational text, websites, and ever-changing
technology. The focus of this document, then, is not on selection in the narrow sense of textbook
adoption, but on curriculum and program planning that entails selection of a wide range of
materials, both print and digital, that can be used in whole-class study, small-group work, and by
As schools clarify the scope of the policy, they should consider not only purchased
materials, but also materials that are provided online as well as those generated by the teacher
and even the students (e.g., student writings discussed in class or small groups). Also, the scope
of the policy should not unwittingly stifle spontaneity and creativity in teachers by requiring a
formal selection process for all materials used for instructional purposes. Sometimes the most
effective learning experiences are those that make use of unanticipated instructional materials: a
letter to the editor, a blog or tweet, for instance, or a newly released video version of a literary

careful selection is a powerful buffer against challenges because it assures that the program
