GUIDELINES FOR MAKING EFFECTIVE INSTRUCTIONAL MATERIAL

1. INSTRUCTIONAL
MATERIALS

2. Instructional Materials
(I.M.)
• considered to be
forms of
communication
• must therefore be
delivered in a
manner that is
equally effective for
persons with
disabilities

3. Communication is considered to
be equally effective when it is:
• comparable in quality to
those received by
students without
disabilities
• comparable in timeliness
of delivery and availability
• provided in a manner and
medium appropriate to
the significance of the
message and the abilities
of the person receiving
the material

5. Public
school
Private
school

6. • Thirty years ago,
educators paid little
attention to the
work of cognitive
scientists, and
researchers in the
nascent field of
cognitive science
worked far removed
from classrooms.

7. • Today, cognitive
researchers are
spending more time
working with
teachers, testing and
refining their theories
in real classrooms
where they can see
how different settings
and classroom
interactions influence
applications of their
theories.

8. • In the 1950s and
’60s, developments
in communications
theory and systems
concepts led to
studies of the
educational
process, its
elements, and their
interrelationships.

9. • Among these
elements are the
teacher, the teaching
methods, the
information
conveyed, the
materials used, the
student, and the
student’s responses.

10. • As a result of these
studies, the field of
audiovisuals shifted its
emphasis from devices
and materials to the
examination of the
teaching-learning process.
• The field is now known as
audiovisual
communications and
educational technology,
and audiovisual materials
were viewed as an
integral part of the
educational system.

11. Classroom teaching during
the early years would
revolve around the “sage
on the stage.”

12. In this period, teachers
were the ones who would
manipulate the discussion
while the students would
just be listening to the
lecture.

13. The teacher would really use much of his
teaching time posting manila paper and
cartolina strips on the board.

14. The technique most commonly used
was called the “chalk and talk”
technique.

15. This is called
TRADITIONAL
TEACHING.

21. TRADITIONAL

DIGITAL
TEACHING

22. MARC PRENSKY
(Digital Immigrants, Digital Natives) 2001
“Today’s students
think and
process
information
differently from
their
predecessors.”

23. DR. BRUCE D. BERRY
Baylor College of Medicine
“It is very likely that
our students’ brains
have physically
changed --- and are
different from ours -
-- as a result of how
they grew up.”

24. MARC PRENSKY
(Digital Immigrants, Digital Natives) 2001
“Our students have
changed radically
and that, today’s
students are no
longer the people
our educational
system was
designed to
teach.”

25. Teaching the 21st century
learners is not an easy task.
Methods must be
applicable for the
learners.
Teachers must
flex to the needs
of the learners.
Digital natives
will not go
backwards.

26. Essential Matters Presented:
Technology is
very much
needed in
the
classroom.
Technology is
the pen and
paper of the
modern time.
Teachers
must enrich
themselves
so they can
keep abreast
with the
students’
skills.
The schools
are
developing
the
technology
used in
classroom
instruction.

27. Technology in the PCC Classroom

28. Technology is a fast-paced system.
EQUIP
YOURSELF

29. BILL GATES
“Technology is just
a tool. In terms
of getting the kids
working together
and motivating
them, the teacher
is still the most
important.”

30. NANCY KASSEBAUM
Senator, United States of America
“There can be infinite
uses of the computer
and of new age
technology, but if the
teachers themselves
are not able to bring
it into the classroom
and make it work,
then it fails.”

31. IAN JUKES
“If we want to understand the world of our
students, we must be willing to immerse
ourselves in their world. We must embrace
the new digital reality. If the teachers can’t
relate, if the teachers don’t get it, then we
won’t be able to make schools relevant to the
current and future needs of the digital
generation.”

32. TRADITIONAL
IS NOT
DIGITAL.

35. NIGEL WILLETTS
ICT Educator
“ When faced with
a steam-rolling
technology, you
either become
part of the
technology or part
of the road.”

You So
Much!
