A productivity software, also known as personal productivity software or office productivity

software, is an application software used to create information such as documents, presentations,
worksheets, databases, charts, graphs, digital paintings, electronic music, and digital video, according to
Wikipedia. Furthermore, according to Muslihat (2019), the definition frequently includes any software
application that aids in the completion of a task or project, such as communication and collaboration
tools. It is called productivity software because it help makes people more efficient and effective in their
daily activities (Prose. While originally intended for business use, productivity software is now
commonly used for personal productivity purposes as well. Additionally, most of these tools are also
available on mobile platforms such as smartphones and tablets. And as with any other product on the
market, there are advantages and disadvantages of productivity software ( Muslihat, 2019).

Open-ended Tools and their Uses in Teaching and Learning Physical Education Skills Open-ended tools
or productivity software applications are ICT tools, which help the teachers and learners make their
learning together as concrete, efficient, encouraging and meaningful as possible. In any teaching-learning
process, the use of these tools plays a vital role as it helps meet the demands of
the learners in the 21st Century classrooms. As described by Palmer (2015)
teachers need to demonstrate 21st Century characteristics to be able to med the
demands of the 21st Century learners. Below is a list of what PE teachers
should do to respond to the demands of the 21st Century.

1. Create a learner centered classroom and make instruction

personalized because learners have different personalities, gods and needs;

2. Facilitate learners productivity skills by helping students produce creative blogs, digital stories
and movies that are helpful 10 enhance their, PE proficiency.

3. Lean new technologies since technology keeps on developing. Learning a tool once is not an
option for teachers.

4. Go global to allow students to learn PE virtually.

5. Be smart and allow the use of devices as aids PE concept and skill acquisition.

6. Do blogging to give students real experience to see the value of writing for real audience and
establishing their digital presence.

7. Go digital to promote the advocacy and to help level up the PE learning experience of the
students through digital discussions.

8. Collaborate with other educators and students. This will allow the sharing of great ideas
beyond a conversation and paper copy.

9. Use web chats to share research and ideas and stay updated in the field.

10. Connect with like-minded individuals by using media tools like the social media.

11. Introduce Project Based Learning to allow students to develop their own driving questions,
conduct research, contact experts, and create their projects for sharing with the use of devices present.

12. Build positive digital footprint that aims to model appropriate use of social media, produce
and publish valuable content and create shareable resources.

13. Code as it is today's literacy. This will boost students' writing skills as the feeling of writing a
page with HTML is amazing.

14. Innovate to expand your teaching toolbox for the sake of your students, engage social media
for discussions and announcements and use new formats like TED talks in presenting your lessons.

15. Keep learning. To come up with an ICT-engaged classroom and teacher, it is appropriate to
discuss how the various productivity software applications can be used in the PE classrooms.

Basic Instructional Design in Preparing Presentations

1. Setting Up the Presentation Class - It is not enough to simply tell students to go and do a
presentation. Students have to be taught the skills involved in giving a presentation. This can include such
things as when to use eye contact, how to organize a presentation, how to connect with an audience, how
to use body language and manage time and how to construct an effective PowerPoint presentation. Since
oral presentations involve multiple communication and language skills, it is important to focus on the

Page 3 of 9

specific presentation skills that are needed to present in front of others. These included things like voice
projection, eye contact and the use of gestures.

2. Organization of the Presentation - Proper organization of information is one of the most

important competencies that must be developed amongst students. Hence, before beginning to work on
developing presentation, it is important to understand the genre of oral presentation. There is a need to
learn how to separate the presentation into meaningful sections and presenting each section separately to
reduce the cognitive work that required of in the presentation.

3. Presentation Skills - In developing oral presentations, it is very important to consider to spend

time in the delivery of their outputs. Because English is the medium of instruction for mathematics and
science, specific language items, such as vocabulary and grammar must be considered to be successful in
oral presentations. These items are important to the students for two reasons. First of all, they enable
students to be successful when they present in the class. Secondly, the language and grammar students
learn in the course of giving a presentation will be useful for them in other situations that involve spoken
English (Thornbury, 2005).

4. The Use of Visual Aids - Visual aids are an important part of org presentations because they
provide sun aids can bet the speakers and presents during the presentation. Visual aids can be used to give
more listens about the topic, help the audience members to understand what is being said, and serve as a
concrete reminder of the message for both the audience and the presenter. The type of visual aid use can
vary depending on the topic of the presentation. Visual aids helped cater to different learning styles. Some
of the students who are not savvy at paper written presentations are motivated at using presentation
software applications. In mathematics or science learning. visual aids help students who are weak at
acquiring a mathematical or scientific skill to be motivated to participate in the presentation and become
valuable members of their groups.

5. Performing Self-Reflections - The final stage of each oral presentation involves students writing a
self-reflection of their own presentation. Through this activity, writing skills are further enhanced together
with the ability of the students to do self-reflection.

With the advent of web-based word processing software and with the exposure of a lot of students to
new innovative media tools, explore the following online Microsoft Word Alternatives.

Although originally designed for business use, productivity software is now frequently used for personal
productivity goals as well. Additionally, the majority of these tools are also available on mobile platforms
such as smartphones and tablets. As with any other product on the market, there are benefits and
drawbacks to productivity software.

Dropbox Paper
Dropbox Paper is a free online word processor offered by the online cloud storage provider. To start using
it, you will need a Dropbox account. Once logged in, you get full
access to the online suite. The minimalist interface is very intuitive and
its simplicity allows you to focus on your content. You can also do a
number of things that go beyond creating a textual document. You can
add rich media, such as audio, video and images. Dropbox Paper also
allows you to access apps that let you embed Trello cards, Youtube
videos or SlideShare decks. Other collaborative features include
document link-sharing, creating and assigning checklist items to
members or embedding one of your Dropbox documents. Dropbox Paper, overall, does an excellent job at
creating dynamic documents you can share and access online.

Office Online

For Microsoft Word and Office aficionados, the best possible free
online alternative for their document editing needs is definitely Word
online, which comes as part of the Office Online suite. Although free
MS Word web app is not a full-fledged version of its paid counterpart,
it allows you to open, create and edit Word documents online. Also, it
offers some additional benefits of online software tools. For example, the ability to access and see updates
from co-authors to your docs literally from anywhere in real time with only an Internet connection and the
latest 2016 version. You can share and collaborate on documents. An equally alluring feature of Office

Online is its cross-platform compatibility. So, if you're a Chromebook or Linux OS user, MS Word web
app is the most elegant way to get access to Microsoft's document editing features - for free!

Google Docs

Google Docs allows you to create, collaborate and share

documents, spreadsheets, presentations, drawings and even
forms. Google Docs is packed with features, which can be
further extended with various add-ons. While it will
automatically save the file online and store it there, you can
also have the documents published as a web page,
downloaded or emailed as an attachment in Word, ODT, PDF, plain text or RTF formats. You can invite
collaborators to work on the document with you or only allow others to view it without the ability to edit.
And if you are apprehensive of having to depend on the Internet connection for document processing,
don't worry. You can enable Google Docs offline access and keep editing your documents even when you
are disconnected from Internet. All it takes is a free Google account.

Etherpad

Etherpad is an online document editor primarily intended for

collaborative editing in, as the site claims, "really real time". It's an
open source, highly customizable tool for online document
collaboration with friends, fellow students and classmates, or
colleagues at work. One of its advantages, especially appealing to users who are reluctant to use services
which require email registration, is that there is no sign up with Etherpad. All you need to do is start a
new pad and share the link to it with your collaborators. You can also invite them by email if you prefer.
After that, you can start working on the planned writing project together, in real-time, even if you are
miles apart.
