1. How do you plan for your lessons despite the pandemic?

I can share some of my doings when teaching math in SHS:

1. Record your lectures –

 Students can watch with their convenience
 When we do have recorded lectures, we can recheck and revalidate if we are
saying are correct and it will help us to omit unnecessary parts.

2. Set Objectives
 Make sure to state objective on the first part so students will be able to know
what to expect for the discussion
 Why do learners must be informed about the objectives prior to the topic? so
that students will be aware and directed to the goals that we’re trying to achieve
for them.
 We have sayings that, when you know where you are headed, you can easily get
there.
 We must also remember that learning materials, and assessment must be
aligned with the objectives

3. Keep Videos Short

 At least 10 to 15 minutes
 We are all aware that the span of attention of the students is short so the videos
that we must create must be concise, brief and direct.
 It will also make the students difficult to watch the videos if it is long because it
will need very good connection and gadget specs quality to run the long videos
and in terms of downloading it will make also difficult for them.
 if you have more to say, record two or more videos
 Don’t add “palabok” words, don’t include unrelated

4. Allow the students practice

 as we all know mathematics is a skill that needs a lot of practices to be mastered
by the students
 the practice that we give to students will determine the quality of learning we
give to them
 Law of Repetition

5. Write the steps on your slides

 make sure that student will be able to understand the steps on your slides.

6. Give specific instructions

 make sure that instructions are clear stated to students to avoid confusion and
repetitive questions.
 do not use highfalutin words
 In giving of performance task, we must inform the students ahead of time about
the rubrics

7. Use existing resources

 use pre-developed resources available online and provide students with clickable
link
  make sure the link you have provided, you have studied it, reviewed I, or
watched, because you are accountable to it.
 make sure to watch it, and exert time, so that you will know the content and
more importantly you can build up connection, because after the students watch
the video, you can ask related questions.

8. Provide Interactive Activities-plan a head of time

 use mobile apps that are applicable to the lesson
 we must be diligent and zealous to find appropriate interactive activities to our
topic and make sure to create or find activities that will get the students
attention and interest

9. Show your care for your students

 Be honest with how you feel. You may tell them that you are willing to learn and
doing your best to support their learning
 Learning is a two-way process, they can learn from them, or we can learn from
them.
 if the student will see that we are determined and eager to support them by
making the lessons interesting, the students surely will motivate and appreciate
your “will” to teach them
 always remember students will not care how much we know unless they know
how much we care, so that we can build connection with them

10. Let students take control

 ask students to support and consult one another to maximize the teaching and
learning process
 Since we must demonstrate a learner centered setup to promote on how the
students show their higher order thinking skills we can post couple of questions
to help students break the ice and start conversation. Better if we can make
small group and assign leader o that if they are things that are not clear they can
ask their leader (shy student)

2. Are there online resources that you use in your class? Cite as many as you can.

of such once used in your class.

TEDed
TED talks are less about the absolute dissemination of information on a subject and more about
their potential to incite a classroom conversion through the diverse voices and questions that
TED talks raise. You’ll find that speakers cover topics through broad strokes as opposed to
parsing through subject matter in-depth (like you would see in Khan Academy or LearnZillion
videos, for example). For that reason, the talks are not necessarily the best for preparing for
the next standardized test, but they are perfect to help get students thinking critically.

1. Teach the Value of a Trait

It discusses the importance of self-control and its strong correlation with success later in life.
Discussion questions, embedded into the video, on students’ perceptions of self-control help
evolve their understanding of the trait.

2. Classroom Inspiration

It discusses how schooling and education is really completely in the hands of each learner. By
“hack schooling” your own education, you are on your way to being happy and healthy. This
TED talk is perfect for back-to-school time to help establish your classroom culture.

3. Teach a Skill

It provides techniques to make an average person on par with the best at memory. You will
notice that the embedded questions ensure listening comprehension.

4. Demonstrate the Value of a Subject

It demonstrates the potential of STEM subjects and provides strategies to make seemingly
impossible science questions solvable.

5. For Teachers: Professional Development

It gives reminder to educators the powerful influence they have on their student’s lives. A
favorite quote: “Every child deserves a champion: an adult who will never give upon them, who
understands the power of connection and insists they become the best they can possibly be.”

6. Teach a Subject/Topic
It talks to do a deep dive into the topics of a standard K12 curriculum, TED-Ed original videos
cover a variety of classic classroom learning objectives. For instance, this animated short
explains Mendelian inheritance based on his experiment.
