The Schools Learning Resources EPISODE 1 Learning resource centers benefit students by supplementing the learning process.

They function as a place to introduce, reinforce and expand student learning, and can be school- or communitybased. Centers can provide access to learning materials or serve as a peer learning center. There are a various types of learning centers, each geared toward providing students with resources to expand their educational experience.

These are used during activities like in physical education, in singing nursery rhymes and during the flag ceremony. microphone is used to modulate the voice of the speaker. ANALYSIS The learning materials were arranged according to its functions, colors and it's type. like for example, all the non electronic visual are placed in one corner and sorted to it's functions like if its for manipulative materials or whether it is a printed material. The observed weakness of the LRC was the usage of these materials. Some of them are Covered with dust maybe because they are often used. The learning resource center of childs world has many variety of materials that are tailor-made the children specially for the SPED. Theyre materials are complete, colorful, in good condition and functional. Were the learning resources/materials arranged properly according to their functions and characteristics? What are the strengths of this Learning Resource Center? What are its weaknesses? The teachers should made use of there resources and incorporate different materials in their lesson. There should be variety and diversity in using instructional materials in their class. EPISODE 2: BULLETIN BOARDS We think that the room was not so conducive for learning because the dividers of each classroom were just these thin blackboards and you can overheard the noise from the other class and the noise outside. Recommendation: If they want to maintain an open space kind of classroom we think glass could have been a better kind of divider so that monitoring would still take its place and there would be less distractions to these young students. What do you think prompted the teacher to choose the materials/learning resources that she/he used? Aside from its availability, I think tools used are the most efficient and common medium for the specific lesson they were trying to portray. Report of a Bulletin Board EPISODE 2: BULLETIN BOARDS As I imagine myself to be at the teachers position I would certainly mold young minds and teach them dedicatedly especially if the subject was my forte but, of course as a future

high school teacher I must be prepared to other subject and whether I like it or not I must accept it because thats part of the job and part of a being professional. I would just change some other ways like considering the holistic development pertaining to cognitive, affective and psychomotor. Which is kind a not so visible to our observation. Examples of this are group project, giving real life situation problems and the use of fine and gross motor skills. Why? Because I believe that a good teacher does everything just to bring out the best in him and his students. computers are used to make task easier and faster. It can be used in different subject areas. the end. A bulletin board (pin board, noticeboard, or notice board in British English) is a surface intended for the posting of public messages, for example, to advertise items wanted or for sale, announce events, or provide information.

EPISODE 3
UTILIZATION OF TEACHING AIDS ARTS SKILL

If the teacher has an artistic skill, it would not be hard for her to make the bulletin board because she has a technique and method in designing the content. Also, you can save money instead of spending for buying expensive art materials. Visual skills. Teachers are somewhat like interior designers; they must be able to visualize the presentation and impact they want to create, then apply those to the display. Unique ideas The teachers own design. If the student sees unusual thing or something new in the bulletin board, you will surely get their attention because they saw uncommon design that they want to know and explore. Organizational skills The third one is the teacher should know how to organize the content of the bulletin board by arranging and grouping the content properly. Second, the teacher should be resourceful. The teacher should know how to reuse / recycle other materials that would help the bulletin board more attractive and beautiful. You dont need to spend too much money in making bulletin board display. But if you do, the cost should be within the school budget. Your Reflection Your Analysis First, the teacher must be creative. She tries to present concepts and content in an interesting way. This will get the attention of the students if the bulletin board is made with creativity. Name at least 5 skills that a teacher should have to be able to come up with effective board displays. Elaborate on why each skill is needed. I think the purpose of their bulletin boards is for the students to appreciate their own work and the works of their classmates. It is effective because the students will be motivated to work and there self-confidence will be develop because they can see their achievements.

Episode 5 PAPER WORKS Yes, in planning a hand-outs is one of my tiresome because it needs a enough time to make it not in perfect but if you give some hand0outs to your student you should consider the learning effective on this. So it needs a enough time to make it. I encountered some difficulties in making a hand-outs is the references or the sources because it also require enough time if you want to be effective hand-out to your student

EPISODE 4
TOOLS OF THE TRADE The teaching materials that I like making the most is the multimedia presentation because its easier for me to teach the students and Im fond of making it. Its better to use this material in the reason that the students will able to see more information about the lesson. I like it the most because I can put many pictures as I want regarding to the topic and I can put some background music in order for them to get attracted and listen attentively to the discussion. Its great because I can simply make the font size readable at the back. So far, I havent encountered any difficulties in making the multimedia presentation because I used to it. Lastly, the tips that I can give to the teachers regarding preparation of teaching materials are: know whom they were going to teach and where, know the students interest and set of their minds. I think thats all I can give.

Episode 7 I learned a lot of things in this subject. I am lucky to have the opportunity to observe a school because through this, I learn how to adjust students attitude and behavior to handle a particular class. Thus, I learn how to motivate each of the students according to their IQ capacity and how to respect each religion, culture and beliefs. As a teacher someday, we should be fair enough to our students because I know how important is the role of a teacher to an individual as well as their education. Indeed, I learn a lot in FS3 subject.

My Teaching Philosophy
To educate is to become a better educated. It is circular process that improves with time; I believe the responsibility of educators is to provide students with the necessary knowledge and skills to succeed in academic, business and personal arenas. My teaching philosophy is based on the belief that education is a solution to many social problems. Education provides the tools to make informed decisions, synthesize ideas, and critically evaluate relevant issues and to enjoy life. Therefore pursuing knowledge and working to improve my skills as an educator are among my highest priorities. As an educator, I will strive to encourage excellence in my students and my self. Course material should be challenging, interactive and relevant to current issues and events. Students learn and retain more information if the material is presented in an environment that is interesting and interactive. For this reason, I believe that using a variety of multimedia including video, slides, and the internet, is an effective way to complement traditional course lectures remains the foundation of the educational experience. I feel that I can encourage students to seek new knowledge and explore their own ideas by an enthusiastic presentation of both what is. And what is not known about subjects. When appropriate, the classroom setting should be expanded to include experience in the field. What better way to make the necessary connections among biological concepts than by observing how organisms interact with their environment In my interaction with students, I will strive always to be respectful, especially when dealing with differing opinions that may arise as product of scientific thinking. I want my student to learn to think critically, not merely to accept my ideas and opinions; my drive to pursue higher education was due in part to several teachers who inspired catalyst for other people to pursue their dreams.
