Excite
Simply knowing the principles of ICT
Pedagogy integration is not enough to make
learning efficient and meaningful. Moreover, an
effective and efficient technology-supported
lesson does not only end with having a well-
designed learning plan. This means that there is
a need to prepare all the learning tools and
materials articulated in the learning plan and
these must be ready for implementation. A plan
not supported and implemented is a plan that is
void.
This module aims to ensure that after you were
able to clearly identify the coverage of your learning plan
and after clearly identifying the documents, materials, and
presentations that you need to prepare, you will be tasked
to develop student sample presentations and teacher
presentations to support the implementation of your
learning plan.
For the Students: You are encouraged to read diary entries from youth around
the world to author a diary project. There are thousands of entries in 24
categories posted on the Diary Project site. Topics include a wide range of issues.
For those who want to read more about the entries provided in the website, or
just want to read other diary project entries, visit www.diaryproject.com. Use
the search function to find specific entries by title or keyword. Write your own
entry. Go to diaryproject.com and click on Submit Entry to write your own. It
must be noted that the Diary Project is monitored by a team of adults and teens
who read all the material that is sent to The Diary Project website. If you would
like to volunteer, email them at staff@ diaryproject.com.

photo are more likely to be published than stories without
pictures; d) Originality is very important--make sure the work

If you decide to let your students'
works to be hosted by your institutions
official website, this can also be. Today,
there are a lot of academic institutions
whose website serves as their information
dissemination center for their customers
and stakeholders. Barron et al. (2002) state
that there are two fundamental stages in
creating a website or web pages. First, the
page files and all associated images,
sounds, and so forth must be created in
the proper format and tested. Second, the
files must all be transferred to a host
computer called a web server.
Barron et al. further state that web
page files must adhere to a specific
format or language, called hypertext
markup language (HTML). HTML uses
tags to define how information is
formatted on a screen. In creating a
web page using HTML, students may
find it intimidating but even elementary
students can do it. For language
learners, using HTML may gradually
expand their horizons and enrich their
vocabulary and communication skills.
You may search for the steps in developing a
web page by using HTML through the

A. Copyright Laws
Copyright Law protects works of authorship.
Hence, it is very laws and copyright acts to
ensure that there will be no copyright
infringements that will happen in the process
of authoring of publishing materials offline or
online.
According to FindLaw (2020), the Copyright Act states that works
of authorship include the following types of works:
•Literary works. Novels, nonfiction prose, poetry, newspaper articles and
newspapers, magazine articles and magazines, computer software, software
documentation and manuals. training manuals, manuals, catalogs, brochures,
ads (text), and compilations such as business directories
•Musical works. Songs, advertising jingles, and instrumentals.
•Dramatic works. Plays, operas, and skits.
•Pantomimes and choreographic works. Ballets, modern dance, jazz dance, and
mime works.
•Pictorial, graphic, and sculptural works. Photographs, posters, maps, paintings,
drawings, graphic art, display ads, cartoon strips and cartoon characters, stuffed
animals, statues, paintings, and works of fine art.
•Motion pictures and other audiovisual works. Movies, documentaries,
travelogues, training films and videos, television shows, television ads, and
interactive multimedia works.
•Sound recordings. Recordings of music, sounds, or words.
•Architectural works. Building designs, whether in the form of architectural
plans, drawings, or the constructed building itself.
FindLaw (2020) further states that Copyright Law is
important for multimedia developers and
publishers for two reasons:
a. Original multimedia works are protected by
copyright. The Copyright Act's exclusive rights
provision gives developers and publishers the right
to control unauthorized exploitation of their works.
b. Multimedia works are created by combining
"content" - music, text, graphics, illustrations,
photographs, software - that is protected under
copyright law. Developers and publishers must
avoid infringing copyrights owned by others.
The detailed information about Copyright Laws can
be searched from the World Wide Web Some of
these can be read in Appendix A.
B. Anti-Bullying Act of 2013
Republic Act No. 10627 otherwise known as the Anti-Bullying Act of 2013
of the Philippines directs all elementary and secondary schools to adopt
policies to address the existence of bullying in their respective institutions.
Bullying refers to any severe or repeated use by one or more students of a
written, verbal or electronic expression. or a physical act or gesture, or any
combination thereof, directed at another student that has the effect of
actually causing or placing the latter in reasonable fear of physical or
emotional harm or damage to his property, creating a hostile environment
at school for the other student infringing on the rights of the other student
at school; or materially and substantially disrupting the education process
or the orderly operation of a school.
One of the most common problems encountered today by internet users is
bullying online which we call cyberbullying. Consequently, it is important
for teachers to be very judicious and alert in advising students as they
publish their requirements online or as they communicate or collaborate
through the World Wide Web.
C. Republic Act 101751
This is known as Cybercrime Prevention Act of 2012 declaring a policy that states
that the State recognizes the vital role of information and communications
industries such as content production, telecommunications, broadcasting
electronic commerce, and data processing, in the nation's overall social and
economic development. The State also recognizes the importance of providing an
environment conducive to the development, acceleration, and rational application
and exploitation of information and communications technology (ICT) to attain
free, easy, and intelligible access to exchange and or delivery of information and
the need to protect and safeguard the integrity of computer, computer and
communications systems, networks, and databases, and the confidentiality,
integrity, and availability of information and data stored therein, from all forms of
misuse, abuse, and illegal access by making punishable under the law such
conduct or conducts. In this light, the State shall adopt sufficient powers to
effectively prevent and combat such offenses by facilitating their detection,
investigation, and prosecution at both the domestic and international levels, and
by providing arrangements for fast and reliable international cooperation.
Experience
Step 1. Considering the tasks (eg project-based learning output, research output
and the like) you required your students to do in your learning plan, it will be
good to let them experience writing their thoughts and ideas about the task you
gave them through a group blog. Hence, think of a very good title for a blog that
your future students will do to allow them to share their thoughts about their
requirements in your class
Step 2: After thinking of what the blog title is, develop storyboard for the blog
and prepare for the rubric that will be used to evaluate it. Please remember that
you are acting here as your future student (for your learning plan) and not as the
teacher. Hence, the blog that you will develop is a student sample of a blog that
you will present to your students for them to pattern or learn from. You may use
the following guidelines or come up with your own which is the same guidelines
you will give your students to follow after showing them your student sample:
Instructions:
1. Please read these guidelines carefully and write on your group blog all
information included in the guidelines by using communicative language with
video, photos and pictures during the development of your project.
2. Your blog will be reviewed according to the criteria applied and give one
week as of the announcement for those who have to revise it.
3. You can also include in the blog your reflection after doing your project.
