At the end of this Learning Episode, I must be able to:

 Select applications that are most appropriate to the different aspects of the
teaching-learning process to address learning goals. (PPST 4.5.1)
 Show skills in the positive use of applications for student engagement in teaching
and learning. (PPST 1.3.1)
 Demonstrate positive attitude towards the use of technology tools. (ICT CST
7.1.2)
 Use professional reflection and learning to improve practice. (PPST 7.4.1)
Clarify Your Task
An app, (a shorter way of saying application) is a kind of software which can be installed
in various gadgets – a desktop, laptop, smartphone, and tablet. There are thousands of apps,
each with specific functions. A wide range of functions among others includes, ordering food,
getting a ride, getting a date, doing a bank transaction and even praying and meditating. Now,
there are those that are directly useful for teaching and learning which can be referred to as
educational apps. Whether the class is face-to-face, blended, or fully online, a vast number of
apps can truly enhance the teaching-learning process.
The judicious use of apps can make the teaching-learning process more effective,
efficient, and equally important, more fun and satisfying for both the teacher and the students.
The teacher can use apps in the different stages of planning, preparation, implementation and
assessment. Teachers use apps to prepare high-impact presentations that help them deliver
content. Teachers also use apps to motivate students to participate, resulting in greater and
more enjoyable engagement. Apps are also used to assess, document and report performance
and achievement.
Your task in this episode is to demonstrate your skills in choosing and using
appropriate applications, enhancing both the delivery of content and the learning and
mastery of students. You will accomplish this as you participate and assist in your resource

teacher’s class. Whether the class is purely online or blended, carefully observe how the
teacher utilizes apps for e-learning.
An excellent guide for choosing applications to enhance teaching and learning is the
Pedagogy Wheel Model created under the leadership of Dr. Allan Carrington. There were
earlier precursors, but this model appears to be the most comprehensive so far. The model
aligns the applications to four essential levers. The apps’ selection considers what attributes
the students will develop, student motivation, tapping higher-order thinking skills as
articulated in Bloom’s taxonomy and at what level the app will be used in the SAMR Model.
You will recall this from your previous technology class and surely learn even more from this
episode.
Apple gave a set of five criteria in selecting apps for teaching. The set of criteria incudes
developmental appropriateness, motivation, instructional design, motivation and accessibility.
It is also most likely that you have experienced learning using many of these apps as a
student. The most popular ones are Canva, Kahoot, Mentimeter, Jamboard, Slido, Google slides,
google docs, Flip grid, etc. And then, some apps are for specific levels and learning areas. For
example, there are hundreds of apps for preschoolers and kindergarteners, like storybooks
apps, alphabet and numbers apps, etc. At the same time, there are apps for math, reading,
science for primary, intermediate and secondary or even collegiate levels.
As you work on this episode, remember that you take the role of FS students now
participating and assisting in the work of selecting and using apps for more effective
teaching and learning. You are inching closer to shifting the role from being a student to
being the teacher.
Additionally, you take the role of a future researcher. Always use your capacity to notice
– what is going well? Or what can be missing; what can be improved. What can be a new way of
doing things? Then focus on finding out the answers to these questions. This is to develop in
you the disposition of a teacher – researcher. That as a teacher, you can always find ways to do
things better and more effectively. Also, aim to develop the confidence to try and initiate to
continuously improve your skills.

provided. Once you have downloaded, enjoy exploring what powers these apps have by
clicking their icons directly from the Pedagogy wheel. An infographic on Choosing Apps for
teachers is also included. Exciting!

“With Allan Carrington’s Padagogy Wheel Model, teachers have an at-hand reference that
ties apps to specific learning outcomes directly connected to modern pedagogies and theories.
They can easily sit with the wheel during lesson planning time to find tools that will best aid their
students or use it during class time to extend or deepen learning towards a specific 21st century
skill or content area. This connection of theory, practice, and application makes the Padagogy
Wheel an invaluable resource that should be on the wall of every classroom”.

Explore!
You can use the links to access the Pedagogy Wheel for both Android or Apple apps.
Once you open PDF, you will see that all the apps are already linked. You can readily explore by
clicking on the icons. For Android, they connect to the Google Play site. For Apple iOS they
connect to the web pages and will open your iTunes.

learning.
2. Ask the teacher how you can participate or assist in work involving the use of
applications in one ore more of these tasks:
-preparing materials -giving an assignment

-doing a motivational activity -making learners practice a skill
-delivering a lesson -making the learners collaborate and
-engaging learners to respond -managing the class-checking of attendance
The more opportunities to observe, participate and assist, the better.
