OPEN-ENDED TOOLS
Open-ended tools-productivity software applications
are ICT tools which help the teachers and learners
make their learning together as concrete, effi cient,
encouraging and
meaningful as possible.
List
of what teachers should do to respond to the
demands of the 21st century
• Create a learner-centered educators and students
classroom and make instruction • Use web chats
personalized • Connect with like-minded
• Facilitate learner’s productivity individuals
skills • Introduce Project Based
• Learn new technologies Learning
• Be smart and allow the use of • Build positive digital footprint
devices • Code as it is today’s literacy
• Do blogging • Innovate
• Go digital • Keep learning.
• Collaborate with other
5
What then are some of the
open-ended tools/productivity
software applications that we can
use?
OPEN-ENDED TOOLS
The most common of which are word applications,
presentation software applications, and
spreadsheets.
A.
USING WORD IN SCAFFOLDING STUDENT LEARNING
IN A MATHEMATICS CLASSROOM
1. Intel Teach Unit Plan
The intel Teach Program has this template for its Unit Plan (Intel
Corporation, 2007)
The purpose of Intel® Teach Program is to help “teachers to be more

effective educators through professional development focused on how to
integrate technology into their lessons, promoting problem solving, critical
thinking and collaboration skills among their students

2. Department of Education
(DepEd)
The Department of Education of the Philippines requires teachers to
develop and submit their lesson plans. With the help of Word Application,
the teachers are assisted to develop them with ease and with the provision
to edit and update them.

Venn diagrams require high-
level thinking because
students must compare and
contrast 2 or more ideas.

2. Frayer Model
It is used before reading to
activate background
knowledge, during reading
to monitor vocabulary, or
after reading to assess
vocabulary.

together ideas and concepts. You
can use them to brainstorm what
students already know or to recap
what was learned.

4. Concept Map
Concept maps show a
connection or relationship
between concepts. There are
many variations of this graphic
organizer. It all depends on the
types of connections you want
to highlight. This is usually more
structured than a The Web.

B.
USING PRESENTATIONS IN TEACHING MATHEMATICAL
SKILLS
Smith & Suzuki (2015), found out that presentation software like screen-
capture used in Algebra class improved the performance of secondary
school students because the embedded multimedia lessons are accessible
outside their classroom.
Both teachers and students can learn variety of skills in the process of
planning, developing, presenting, and evaluating their pesentations.

Lesson 2
Student Sample Projects Using
Mathematics Digital Tools
Why students are digital savvy?
MATHEMATICS LEARNING VIA DIGITAL
TOOLS
Digital Math tools like IXL are helpful for students to
practice and reinforce math skills (Hollands & Pan, 2018)
Cozad % Riccomini (2016) said that digital-based fluency

interventions show promise to promote fluency in
students with mathematical diffi culties
Mascia, Perron, Bardi, Agus, Penna, & Lucangeli (2018)

enumerate the positive impacts of digital tools in math
learning such as accuracy, speed, sematic, and syntactic
numerical knowledge and spatial orientation.
MATHEMATICS LEARNING VIA DIGITAL
TOOLS
Advantages of using digital math tools like Mathletics
(Stephen, 2017)
a. Learners are motivated and engaged

b. An effective supplementary digital tool for extended
practice
c. Aligned with core curriculum and math standards
d. Provide ways for faculty to differentiate learning,
individualize learning, and provide instant feedback.

Publication Requirements in the Light
of the Digital Age
It must be noted that the development of high-quality
digital learning products and materials involves a
complex combination of subject matter expertise,
instructional design knowledge, and technical skills
(Wilde, 2004).
It is important to be mindful of Copyright Laws, Anti-

Bullying Act of 2013, and Cybercrime Prevention Act of
2012.
COPYRIGHT LAWS
Copyright laws protects works of authorship.
According to FindLaw (2020), the Copyright Act states that works of

authorship include the following types of works.
• Literary Works
• Musical Works
• Dramatic Works
• Pantomime and Choreographic Works
• Pictorial, graphic, and sculptural works
• Motion pictures and other audiovisual works
• Sound recording
• Architectural works
3
IMPORTANCE OF COPYRIGHT LAWS
According to FindLaw (2020), Copyright law is important for
multimedia developers and publishers for two reasons.
a. Original multimedia works are protected by copyright.

b. Multimedia works are created by combining “content”.
3
ANTI-BULLYING ACT OF 2013
Republic Act No. 10627 directs all elementary and secondary schools
to adopt policies to address the existence of bullying in their
respective institutions.
It is very important for teachers to be judicious and alert in advising

students as they publish their requirements online or as they
communicate or collaborate through internet.
3
CYBERCRIME PREVENTION ACT OF 2012
Republic Act 101751 declaring a policy that states that the State
recognizes the vital role of information and communication
industries.
