Part 3. On Your Insights and Realizations

Which of the centers have caught your attention most? Why? They have the E-lea rning room. This room is fo r Science classes and they held thei r film viewing he re. This room caught my attention because of its name. When they mentioned about the E-lea rning, the college eebiste went inside my mind but to them, it functions as an AVR.

Which of the instructional materials caught your attention most? Why? Reference: Trinidad( 2011)

FS 3 Technology in the Learning Environment School of Education, Xavier University-Ateneo de Cagayan First Semester, School Year 2013-2014

I saw a co rne r in one room that has a mat and a shelf full of books. I didnt get the chance to ask what it is but I guess its a reading co rne r. this caught my attention because g rowing up, we didnt have this kind of reading co rne rs in ou r rooms. This is a big help to the students in enhancing thei r reading skills.

Which instructional materials/gadgets are you confident to use/operate? I am confident in in using the dvd playe rs and the tv since we have those mate rials at home and in school. The p rojecto r also is not a p roblem fo r me since as education students, we f requently use p rojecto rs fo r ou r repo rts.

Which instructional materials/gadgets do you feel the need to learn more about? I didnt see in st ructional mate rials that I need to lea rn mo re about because the mate rials a re ve ry common and I am exposed to these mate rials al ready.

More insights and realizations for this episode What I am really con ce rned about in this episode is that the teache rs a re having difficulties in adjusting thei r cu r riculum, inst ructional mate rials and teaching st rategies because of the implementation of the MTB/MLE educational system.
