I will be rated along the following:
quality of my observations and documentation,
completeness and depth of analysis,
depth and clarity of classroom observation-based reflection,
completeness, organization, clarity of portfolio and

My Learning Essentials
1. A school usually sets up a center which will provide valuable support to the
teaching-learning process. Over the years the name of this center has evolved. Some
of the names are Audio-Visual Center, Media and Technology Resource Center,
Teaching-Learning Technology Department, or Simply Learning Resource center.
2. With the very fast development of information and communications technology
(ICT), the natural outcome was the ever-expanding intertace between the
traditional library and 1CT both in terms of hardware and software systems and
applications.
3. Schools may have difterent set-ups when it comes to a Learning Resource Center
(LRC). Some have replaced the term library with LRC. Some have a separate library,
LRC and Audio Visual or Media Center. Some just have the LRC both for teachers and
students.
4. The common purpose among these centers is to provide print, audio-visual and ICT
resources to support the teaching-learning process
5. The goals of the Center may include, orienting and training teachers in the use of
audio visual and ICT resources, working with teachers and administrators in
producing instructional materials, making available useful resources to the students,
teachers and the school community.

FS 3 LEARNING EPISODE3
SLIDESHOW (Slide presentation)
My Learning Episode Overview
Episode 3 provides an opportunity for me to develop a teaching-learning resource
for a particular unit of study or lesson.
My Intended Learning Outcomes
In this Episode, I will be able to apply the principles in creating effective audio-
visual presentations.
My Performance Criteria
I will be rated along the following:
quality of my observations and documentation,
completeness and depth of analysis,
depth and clarity of classroom observation-based reflection,
completeness, organization, clarity of portfolio and
time of submission of portfolio.
My Learning Essentials
Presentation softwares are useful in organizing your lesson with a series of text and
graphics, often with audio and video to capture the interest of your learners. The most
popular one is PowerPoint but you can also explore so many others softwares or apps like,
Prezi, Powtoon, Keynote, Prezentit and Sliderocket.
When creating audio-visual presentations, remember the following:
1. Plan your presentation by drafting an outline. Ensure that information is organized
in proper headings and sub-headings based on how pieces of information relate
with each other.
2. Abide by the Rule of Six. Each slidc should have a maximum of six lines and cach line
with six words.
3. Ensure that your font size is large enough to be seen by learners at the back. Font
size for titles should not be less than 36-40 and 32 for the rest.
4. Include more of key words or phrases and less of whole sentences.
5. Animation should have a clear purpose. It should only be used if it will help highlight
important points, strongly communicate an 1dea, and not at all distract the learners.
6. Pictures speak a thousand words. Add pictures and even video clips to enrich your
presentation.
7. Follow the 3 C's for information. All information included should be correct, current
and complete.
8. Proper citation should also be observed. Include a list of references at the end of the
presentation.
Integrating Theory and Practice
Directions: Read the items given below and encircle the correct answer
1. In order for the students to clearly understand the structure and content of the

point
C. have six lines on each slide with each line having not more than six words
D. include six paragraphs presented in six slides

FS 3 LEARNING EPISODE 4
TOOLS OF THE TRADE
(Teaching Aids Bank)
My Learning Episode Overview
Episode 4 provides an opportunity for me to examine my own knowledge about
how to use technology in teaching through the TPACK framework
My Intended Learning Outcomes
In this Episode, I must be able to use my technology pedagogical content knowledge
in choosing appropriate teacher resources to use for a particular unit of study
My Performance Criteria
I will be rated along the following:
quality of my observations and documentation,
completeness and depth of analysis,
depth and clarity of classroom observation-based reflection,
completeness, organization, clarity of portfolio and
time of submission of portfolio.
My Learning Essentials
The TPACK Framework
The TPACK is a framework that shows the types of knowledge involved in the
teacher's capacity to integrate technology in the teaching-learning process. This was
proposed by Mishra and Koehler in 2007. These three types or bodies of knowledge can be
described separately but they work together, each time you (as the future teacher) use
technology for instruction. Reflect on yourself as you read about the three:
1. Technological knowledge. This refers not only on whether you are computer literate
but also on knowing what technology 1s best to use and how they should be utilized
in teaching. Technology here can be as simple as the chalk and the blackboard or as
complicated as augmented reality. As technology 1s ever-changing, your
technological knowledge is also
2. Pedagogical Knowledge. This refers to the principles and strategies of teaching. It
includes your knowledge of the learners, and in formulating objectives designing
activities and assessing your learners.
3. Content Knowledge. This refers to how well you know the subject area or topic that
you will teach. It includes how wide and how deep you know about what you will
teach.
You can see from the diagram that two circles overlap with each other, while all three of
them overlap as well. Each two-circle overlap indicates the interaction of technological and
content knowledge (TCK), content and pedagogical knowledge (CPK), and pedagogical and
Technological knowledge.
The middle most part of the diagram shows the interaction or interfacing of the three,
which is the technological pedagogical content knowledge (TPACK).This is what is very
important for you to be able to use technology effectively in teaching. You need to be aware
of your strengths and weakness in the three and reflect now you can grow in each one and
use them together as best as you can.
Have this framework in mind as you analyze and reflect in this episode about your own
knowledge in using technology in teaching.
