Topic : NON-DIGITAL AND DIGITAL SKILLS AND TOOLS IN DELIVERING
TECHNOLOGY-ENHANCED LESSONS
Introduction
Teaching becomes rewarding when learners get the most from instructions as
manifested in their performance. An important element in engaging learners is when the
strategy used in delivering the lessons uses an instructional material.When properly and
appropriately used,it can spice up a classroom activity.
This instructional materials may come in varied forms. One group refers to conventional
and non-digital tools. Explore the possibilities of learning about these tools and how to
effectively integrate them in instruction.
Lesson outcomes:
1. Describe the procedures for developing conventional instructional materials
2. Developed instructional material based on a given topic and strategy
3. Described the factors to consider in revising media selections and delivery systems for
given instruction
The teachers need instructional materials to enhance teaching and learning.Instructional
materials are defined as print and non-print items that are rested to impact information to
students into educational process (Effiong and Igiri,2015).Examples of instructional
materials are drawings,kits
texbooks,posters,magazines,flipchart,newspapers,diorama,pictures,recording videos
and like.
Instructional materials have several roles in teaching and learning which include
the following:
(1) they promote meaningful communication and effective learning;
(2) they ensure better retention, thus making learning more permanent;
(3) ) they help to overcome the limited classroom by making the inaccessible accessible;
(4) they provide a common experience upon which late learning can be developed; and
(5) they encourage participation especially if students are allowed to manipulate
materials used ( Brown et al.,2005; Effiong and Igiri, 2015). Instructional materials are
the supplementary materials, which help the teacher to make his/her presentation
concrete,effective,interesting,meaningful and aspiring.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 many 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
tne right place.In the teaching and learning process, learners use their eyes as well as
their ears; but their eyes are basic in learning.
1.DIORAMA
It will make the classroom to be creative and innovative.It is a fun way to build an
exciting scene a small space.Dioramas are small scenes created of layers of
materials,all depicting a similar concept or theme.They usually display a historical time
period, a nature scene, or a fictional situation.
2.NATURE TABLE
This is a table that contains objects and/or scenes related to the current season, or
upcoming festival or a symbol of an ecosystem.Children love to follow the natural
changes that the world offers each month and classroom decorations reflect these.
3. WRITING BOARD
A writing board can display information written with chalk (chalkboard or blackboard)
or special pens (whiteboard).Although there are usually more effective methods of
transmitting information, the writing board is still the most commonly used visual aid.
4. FLIP CHART
It is a large tablet or pad of paper, usually on a tripod or a stand.
5.ZIGZAG BOARD
It is a multi-board series of three or four rectangular boards.They are joined together
along the sides by hinges so that they can be easily folded up and carried.Each board
can be of a different type,for example, a whiteboard, a chalkboard, a flannel board and
so on.The size of the boards for the zigzag multi-board depends on what you want to
use them for.
6.WALL DISPLAY
Displaying items on a classroom wall is a well-known, tried and tested educational
method.A wall display is a collection of many different types of items and materials put
up on a wall to make an interesting and informative display.In a classroom, the display
can consist of the students' own work.In development work it can be used to convey
information to the community.
7.ROPE and POLE display board
This board consist of two parallel, horizontal poles tied loosely together with
rope.Visual aids such as posters can be pinned to the rope.This kind of display board is
invaluable where there are few solid walls for displaying information.It has no solid
backing and can be made quickly for teaching, training and when working with
community.
Guidelines when designing conventional instructional materials:
1. Unity - Use only one idea for each visual aid and include a headline.
2. Simplicity Make ideas and relationships simple and easy to recall. Avold cluttering a
visual with too many words, numbers, graphics. The audience should be able to grasp
the concept in 10 to 15 seconds.
3. Legibility-Make letters big and readable for all in the audience. \
4. Consistency - Use the same type style and art style.
5. Clarity-avoid type that is too small too read; avoid all caps.
6. Quality - Make it neat and professional, and remember to proofread.
Lesson 2: Select and Use ICT Tools for Teaching and Learning
Lesson outcomes:
1. Selected and used an appropriate digital tool in teaching.
2. Provided alternative ways in incorporating the digital tool in a lesson
Introduction
The current systems employ technologies by integrating ICT tools and applications in
education and 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.
A great part learning is working on information and using to create something that can
be useful and edifying for humanity. Since the intention of education is to make learners
become 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 ways engaging learners by communicating,
disseminating, and managing information. This direction of integrating ICT Tools in a
wider range of the teaching and learning process.
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.
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.
There are many ways for which infographics can be used. Using infographics:
1. To present survey data
Presenting statistical data such as from surveys can be overwhelming . Infographics can
be highly useful. Data are much easier to decode. They can be made easier and quicker
to understand if they are presented in an infogrsphics. An example is given below.
2. To simplify a complex concept.
Simplifying a complex idea is the core purpose of using an infographics. This is a very
effective educational tool as a way of summarizing key points or providing an overview
of a lesson.
3. To explain how something functions
Using infographics, you can show the intricacy of how something complex works. It can
reveal the mechanics behind how on object works. Designers can create infographics by
showing the mechanics behind intricate objects, processes, concepts.
4. To compare
Presenting information by highlighting similarities and differences through a visual
parallel in an infographic can turn out more effective than sometimes expressing it in
words. It is easier to draw comparisons with the same.
5. To present interesting facts
When information or facts are presented all in words, the use of onfographics can bring
life. If done well, the infographics can transform the information into visual image that
can attract and engage readers. If there is a written text, the information may not stand
out compared to when it is presented in this format. Information written in snippets
becomes understandable and more appealing to the eye.
PARTS OF AN EPORTFOLIO
1. HOME PAGE
The first section is the Home or your cover page. This is the first thing that your readers
will see. So, you need to introduce yourself and the objectives of your ePortforlio
2. PAGES
The pages that you can add depend on how you would like to organize you ePortforlio.
When adding pages, click the icon and decide whether it will be parallel to your Home
Page or it will be under it.
3. REFLECTIONS
"A major element in a portfolio whether it is online or not, is the writing of the reflection. It
is thinking -aloud, a way of documenting what they are thinking. How students are
processing the input and the application of what have they learned into an activity or a
project needs to be captured.
2. WALL DISPLAY
3. CHALK BOARD
4. DIORAMA
5. NATURE TABLE
