Your Analysis
Were the Learning resources/materials arranged properly according to their
functions and characteristics?
Yes. The teacher well executed the learning resources.
Do the guidelines and procedures facilitate easy access to the materials by
the teachers? Why? or Why not?
I guess No, because teacher was the only one who manipulate the materials, or
the material is not interactive, it only shows the lessons and if they are going to reconstruct the
figure it will be written on the board. It is better if they are the one who will manipulate the
material.
What are the strengths of this Learning Resource Center?
This is where you can found the materials you are needed. Lessons can be easily
executed because they already have the material especially in computer class. Some teacher
also use laptop and projector, the time taken to write the lesson is lessen because the lesson
already projected. But still rules must be implemented in the class.

What are its weaknesses?

What if there is no electricity to be used, the computer cannot be used. For
modules and textbooks what if they forgot to bring it.
What suggestions can you make?
Proper guidelines and rules must be implemented in the class and back-ups are
still needed.

Your Reflections
1. Which of the materials in the learning resources caught your interest the most?
Why?
Laptop and projector, because it can lessen the time of writing the lesson in the
board, you must need it to be interactive.
2. Which gadgets/materials are you already confident to use/operate?
Maybe the laptop, didnt know already how to use a projector.
