II- Think about It

Direction: Think about your own teaching preferences regarding informal methods and systematic, explicit
instruction. Why does one appeal to you more than the other? How will you find a good balance in your
teaching?
Ans:
 I am most preferring to explicit instruction because explicit instruction can help all students. It’s a
myth that explicit instruction limits students from engaging in inquiry-based learning, project-based learning,
and higher-order thinking. In fact, it’s the opposite. Explicit instruction gives students who are typically left out
of these opportunities the information and skills they need to engage.
Explicit instruction uses some of the same processes used for inquiry-based learning and project-
based learning, including modeling, practice, and feedback. Students can transfer the processes they learn
in explicit instruction to other types of learning.
Also, remember that explicit instruction isn’t just for basic academic skills. Students often need
explicit modeling and feedback on higher-order skills, like decision making and social skills. Explicit instruction
helps students who need intensive intervention, including those with learning disabilities.
Explicit instruction can give them those opportunities to practice. It also gives you a structure to make sure
those learners are capable and successful as they practice. Explicit instruction breaks up learning into smaller
parts. This lightens the “cognitive load,” or how much brain resources a student needs to process information.
A lighter cognitive load frees up working memory. That’s important because learning new skills requires a lot
of working memory.

Direction: Read and answer the following questions carefully.

1. What is Integrated Collaborative E-learning in 21st Century?

Ans:
Integrated Collaborative E-learning in 21st Century allows students to use their individual assets while
they work together on 21st century learning skills such as collaboration, communication, critical thinking, and problem
solving. It also provides teachers opportunities to educate students on digital citizenship and the new challenges to
academic integrity. In essence, learners work together in order to expand their knowledge of a particular subject or
skill.
2. What are the Innovative flexible learning tools in global online classrooms?
Ans:
✓ Google Classroom
✓ Pear Deck
✓ Blackboard
✓ Coursera
✓ Canvas
✓ Edpuzzle
✓ Khan Academy
✓ Edmodo
3. What is 21st Century Global E- Learning?
Ans:
In this 21st century, technological and social changes have never been as rapid as before, and
educative practices must evolve and innovate to keep up. 21st Century Global E- Learning refers to the shift
away from instructor-led educational instruction towards a fluid participatory learning environment of co-
creation, co-learning, collaboration and transparency. Students who are participatory learners who use
information technology to accomplish specific tasks such as the use of e-learning and learning management
systems. They do not sorely depend on the instructor and are well versed in the use of ICTs. Lifelong learners
who participate in distance and online learning programmers.
