Impression: SPUS have provided resources to the students, teachers and non-teaching
as well. Through the advent of these resources, teachers are able to convey lessons
effectively and interestingly. Progress in learning is easily monitored with the records
keeping ability of computers. It also improves work efficiency and time savings
compared with conventional modes of learning.

Hardware section.
Do the guidelines and procedures facilitate easy access to the materials by the teachers?
Why? Why not?
The guideline and procedures facilitate easy access to the available learning
materials/resources by the teachers. The personnel responsible in a particular section are
accommodating enough to guide the teachers and students in proper handling and
operation of materials/resources. For every classroom there is one (1) set of audio-video
material. It is equipped with one television, one Central Processing Unit (CPU) with
keyboard and computer mouse attached to it. The teacher often uses these facilities
during their class discussion. The teachers present their Power Point presentation of a
particular lesson through these resources. The teacher makes certain that the guidelines
and procedures in facilitating the materials are followed by the students.
What are the strengths of this Learning Resource Center?
Information and communication development opportunities and information flow are the
big challenges arising from a dedicated review of most educational questions. Each of the
learning resource centers, which offer services for teachers and students, has its strengths.
My Reflections
1. Which of the materials in the learning resources caught your interest
the most? Why?
Among the numerous materials in the learning resource, the one
which caught my interest most is the television and central processing
unit (CPU) in each classroom. It caught my interest most because it
has greatly revolutionized teaching strategies. Teachers are no longer
viewed as the prime source of information. These materials will arouse
and sustain the interest and attention of the pupils to learn. It will
increase the quality of learning while decreasing the time spent in
writing at chalkboard or preparing visual aids. It makes learning more
interactive, hence learning is improved.
2. Which gadgets/materials are you already confident to use/operate?
The gadget/material that I feel confident to use and operate is the
computer. Although some educational programs or software may
appear new to me but generally speaking I am confident that I can
manipulate a computer. I am computer literate, therefore I know how
to use and operate the computer and its programs.
3. Which one do you feel you need to learn more about?
During my observation on the learning resources of SPUS, I feel that I
need to learn more about the non-electronic visual resources like
display boards and bulletin boards. I have been dependent on
computer. As I observe around the campus of SPUS, I realized that
display boards are not only part of the classroom decor, but also
usually serve the purpose of spreading information to the students.
One must develop an artistic mind to create an exciting display board.
4. Read an article about your answer in number 3. Paste a copy of article
here.
(refer to page 7)
Display boards are one on the focal points in a school classroom or hallway. Often, the board
displays important information for both students and educators, while school children can often
decorate display boards themselves, particularly around holidays and festive periods. Educators
can use display boards to chart the progress of students, act as a visual display to boost the selfesteem of students and encourage positive behavior
Important Notices
Primary school display boards serve an important function within the classroom or hallway, as they
are often the place where important notices are displayed. Teachers can post what to do in the
event of a fire, the student register and rules of classroom behavior on the display board. Given the
importance of this information, it is essential that students understand the display board and its
functions, while also being invited to contribute. One idea may be to introduce the display board to
your students at the start of each academic year and inform them of changes as and when they
occur.
Monitoring Achievement
Display boards are also a good medium for publicly monitoring student achievement. List all of the
students' names on the display and reward positive achievements and behaviors with the award of
bronze, silver and gold stars. At the end of each week or term, further reward students for their
hard work with treats and praise. This will encourage your students to perform well in class and
leads to a positive reinforcement as students see hard work being rewarded. Furthermore, you can
also remove stars to punish misbehavior, but this strategy is better for older students at a primary
school.
Special Occasions
Special occasions provide an opportunity for students to decorate their display board. At Christmas
time, for example, make the display festive by having the class make paper Christmas trees, candy
canes, Santas and snowmen and affix them to the perimeter of the display board. Capitalize on the
decoration projects to teach important lessons about the holiday in question. For example, at
Thanksgiving, teachers can tell students the about the story behind the holiday while they are
making their decorations.
Student Projects
When your primary school display boards are not full of seasonal or holiday decorations, you can
use them to track the progress of student projects. For example, set a target amount of
money/items to collect for charity and keep a chart of monies/items raised on the display board.
This enables students to organize events, write letters and telephone local businesses and run
collection drives, for items such as toys. Reward your students by recognizing their achievements
on the display board.

[Type the company name] | FS 3 Technology in the Learning

The display board of Psalmi deo Chorale regarding Rosary Month with
its theme Prayerfulness reflects likes/interests of its target audience.
The display board is equipped with images of Mama Mary and Rosary,
photographs of students praying and activities done at SPUS during the
month of Rosary. The use of graphical representations of students
through photographs makes the board interesting to its target audience.
The brief message on the display board invites the students to take part
on the month of Rosary and to be prayerful.
Was the language used clear and simple for the target audience to
understand? Why? Why not?
The language used in the display board is clear and can be easily
understood. Psalmi deo Chorale stands for Psalms for God Choir. The
message written on the board is simple and it comprehensively explains
well the theme of the display board.
What do you think was the purpose of the board display? Was it
effective? Why? Why not?
The purpose of the board display is to convey message regarding
prayerfulness. The idea on the board display is to invite students of
SPUS to participate on the month of Rosary and to develop positive
values to the students especially the value of prayerfulness. The display
board was effective because it contains not only images of Rosary but
also still photographs of students praying and different activities done
during month of Rosary at SPUS.
What suggestions can you make?
Based on my observation on the display board of Psalmi deo Chorale, I
have observed that the board is dominated with graphical images. The
display board should contain concise message. The message should be
written legibly and boldly so that even the viewer from the farthest
distance can still see the display board. The graphics should be be less
detailed so that it can add to the instructional point and to easy
understanding especially for young learners.

My Reflections
1. Name at least 5 skills that each teacher should have to be able to come
up with effective board displays. Elaborate on why each skill is
needed.
A teacher should possess skills to be able to come up with effective
board displays, to wit:
1. Creativity. Instructional content can be dry and boring in a
classroom setting. Creative teachers try to present concepts and
content in an interesting way.
2. Visual skills. Teachers are somewhat like interior designers; they
must be able to visualize the presentation and impact they want to
create, and then apply those to the display.
3. Organizational skills. This goes along with visual skills, but
organization includes comparing and contrasting, grouping and
arranging content in a meaningful way.
4. Communication. Teachers know that words combined with visual
content can often communicate more than words alone. As well, the
teacher must be a good communicator.
5. Lastly, good teachers make visual displays part of the lesson plan.
Displays or decorated bulletin boards are not just to make the room
pretty. A good teacher can use one display to help students build
many different skills.
2. Which of the skills do you already have? Recall your past experiences
in making board display. How do you practice these skills?
Communication skill is one of the skills that I already have. One way
of practicing this skill is through listening to what others has to say
and sharing my own opinion and views. Communication skills can be

My Reflections
1. Put yourself in the place of the teacher. What would you do similarly
and what would you do differently if you would teach the same lesson
to the same group of students? Why?
One of the effective ways of teaching is utilizing technology. Given the
same situation, I would similarly make power point presentation of the
same lesson to the same group of students. The use of computers adds
appeal to the pupils. PowerPoint presentations can be quite beneficial in
the classroom but only when used properly. PowerPoint presentations
successfully allow teachers to integrate multiple media sources in the
presentation. Aside from simple and plain text that ______________ used,
I would also incorporate photos, video and audio pieces in a single
presentation. This is better because it is more efficient and allows
students to experience information in a new way. Presentations with
plain, white background and small black text are not at all interactive,

1. Which of the materials did you like making the most? Why?
Among the materials I listed in my Learning Resources on Specific Content Area,
Power Point Presentation is one of the materials I like making the most. With power
point presentation I can include flexibility, creativity and ease. Power point offers a
variety of premade templates and layouts nowadays. While preparing a presentation,
it is easy to modify the slides when necessary. One can edit the information on
finished slides, delete unnecessary slides, add forgotten slides and rearrange the
order of the slides in the presentation. During the actual presentation, PowerPoint
has a variety of advantages for both the presenter and the learners. To progress
through a slide show, the presenter only needs to click a button; this allows the me to
maintain eye contact with my audience. A PowerPoint presentation often features a
pleasing appearance and interesting graphics, which helps keep the students
interested. Additionally, the PowerPoint presentation can be projected onto a large
screen for use in a large classroom.
2. What difficulties, if any, did you encounter in making materials? How did you
overcome them?
The difficulties associated with PowerPoint presentations is the system requirements
involved. A computer, projector, screen and electricity will all be required. It will
also be necessary to dim the lights in the room to allow for proper viewing. The
other difficulty is the risk of technical difficulties. The success of the presentation
depends entirely on the proper functioning of technology.
3. What tips can you give teachers regarding preparation of teaching materials?
One tip I can give teachers regarding preparation of teaching materials if to become
comfortable with the material. If one is not very much familiar with the materials
that he/she is using, it may not be an effective material.

What are the good features of a hand-out?
A good hand-out should have all the necessary points written briefly. It
should include the information that students will need to know for
future reference. It should never leave out the key points you want the
learners to remember. Pictures are not required, but images can help
students, especially if they are graphs or charts. Charts, graphs or
illustrations are placed in appropriate locations among the outlined
information. In making good hand-outs, it helps if one will italicize or
bold any section titles to separate them from the rest of the handout
Keep the handout to one page if possible, but ensure there is plenty of

white space. Do not overcrowd the paper, but try making it only a page.
The handout should only have the most vital information while the
speech or lecture should fill in further information. If it is not possible to
keep it down to a single page, staple the handout pages together so
students do not lose the second page.

Philippines (Filipino: Kongreso ng Pilipinas) is the national legislature of the Republic of the
Philippines. It is a bicameral body consisting of the Senate (upper chamber), and the House
of Representatives (lower chamber) although commonly in the Philippines the term congress
refers to the latter.
The Senate is composed of 24 senators half of which are elected every three years.
Each senator, therefore, serves a total of six years. The senators are elected by the
whole electorate and do not represent any geographical district.
The sectoral congressmen represent the minority sectors of the population. This
enables these minority groups to be represented in the Congress, when they would
otherwise not be represented properly through district representation. Also known as
party-list representatives, sectoral congressmen represent labor unions, rights groups,
and other organizations.

My Analysis
What are the good features of a slide presentation?
A slide presentation must have good features for it to be an effective medium for
learners. A slide presentation must have the following good features, to wit:
Slides should be well-designed and should remain on display for a significant
length of time while you explain them.
Leave graphical figures up for a long time while you talk, textual material up for a
short time only.
To check legibility view computer slides on your monitor from 10 feet away.
Graph axis labels should be legible.
Use fonts emphasizing with bold-face or different colors. Light fonts on dark
backgrounds are good for textual material.
Avoid light colors like yellow as these sometimes do not appear in the room
lighting conditions.
Which of these features are present in the slide presentation you made?
As I make my slide presentation I see to it that it contains most of the good features. I
make certain that the fonts that I used are legible and would compliment the background
[Type the company name] | FS 3 Technology in the Learning

color of each slide. It contains appropriate charts and graphics. The visual theme of my
slide presentation is consistent, so as not to clutter the presentation.
Which features are not present in the slide presentation you made?
Among the good features mentioned, my slide presentation does not contain a video and
audio and hyperlink is not included as well.
