A video that can be use to show how a frog undergo its life cycle. A video that would explain the process of a frog's life cycle. It is good that through video, learners can see how a frog develops, but it must be explained that in reality it takes time before a tadpole can be an adult frog.

OnLine Learning Activity-- Evaluation
I found the site very informative. It is good that it has so many link, that the learner can navigate on to. The home page mirrors what the user can do on that website. It is also very much pleasing especially for the kids who will visit the page. You can also do quizzes, challenges and some activities about social studies. I also saw some maps wherein you have to identify the correct cities of a certain country, with that it is considered to be very interactive. I could see that most of the information on that site is also reliable for it includes some authors or references where they got the info.

Motivate our students :)
January 21, 2011
A teacher must know how to motivate his/her students, there different instructional methods must be applied that will suit their instructional plans. With that we were tasked to present different methods that are usually applied in classroom setting. With this way of presenting the pros and cons of using these methods I learned the best method to use when we have a huge class and even small classes. Like demonstration, it is not advisable to use it in large classes for the demonstration won't be visible for all students, but it may aid in step by step procedure. When it comes to engaging the class an instrucional game may do, it is just that sometimes it is time consuming and the students would want more games that's why their mind would be set on games not on the lesson itself. If time is a problem, then drill andpractice is a good method to use, since there are times it became boring choose way on how to make the practice more exciting. Students would always want to enjoy, therefore active engagement could be done live discovery wherein you let your students to develop creativity as well. In doing this, th eteacher must know the solution and students would have information overload--sometimes would also lead to information overload.
The Role of Instructional Media
January 7, 2011
Being enrolled in EdTech 101 of course we have to be aware of the different media that we're using. Therefore, we have to know how to choose appropriate Instructional Media. First thing that we have to consider in selecting media is practicality, there are some situations that the use of instructional media couldn't be use in some schools because they lack some facilites. With that reason it becomes a hindrance for us to be able to use Instructional Media. Next is the appropriateness in relation to learner's characteristics, we can't just let the pupils be expose with different kinds of media without taking into consideration your learners' behaviors. Using instructional media must also match the activity that the class will be doing and lastly to match the objective. A teacher won't just let his/her students to watch a film just for them to enjoy and not prioritize the objectives to be done.
We must also know how to develop assessment tools and for this to be valid it must be able to measure what it intends to measure. The objectives serves as the basis upon which to develop the assessment tool.Lastly conditions involved in the assessment tool match the conditions specified in the objectives. Therefre un making IPs we must be coherent so that all the activities, objectives and intructional media will be appropriate and efficient in teaching.
Instructional Plans
January 5, 2011
As we go along, we are taught on how to make Instructional Plans. I realized so many things. In making objectives we just don't place behaviors which are not measurable. It is important to have an effective IP so that a teacher will lessen having so much differences of teaching if he/she has 5 classes in a day. Therefore a teacher must have a very clear Instructional Plan and bear in mind that the star of the class are his/her students not the teacher itself.
An effective Instruction
December 10, 2010
We discussed so many theories which are to be considered especially in making instructions.According to Robert Giger and walter Dids, an effective instruction is that it enables students to acquire specified skills, knowledge and attitudes. It also lets the students to enjoy. It is determined on the basis of data and information that are gathered and documented. In foing instructional plans we assured that the point of view is fr the learners! We have to analyze our learners to give them an effective instruction. There are also four components in an objective these are the Audience, Behavior, Condition, and the Degree.
Theories
December 8, 2010
Last meeting we've discussed different theories, today we were again introduced to different theories and these inculdes Communication Theory wherein process of transmitting message and feedback is showned.And there could be noises which can impede the process of comminication.Therefore to pass on the message effectively through the use of media we have to choose a good instructuional material,andanother thing is to use it well.
In General System Approach I've learned that teachers must adjust to his/her learners which is indeed a must. There are times that most of contents are changing that is why methods do also change. There are new ways of doing things. After that, the last theory was the Project -Based Learning, as a group we are asked to construct a tower in which we all enjoyed it aims to let us know that PBL is a systematic teaching method that engages students in learning essential knowledge and life enhancing skills through extended, student-influenced, inquiry process, authentc questions & carefully designed product and tasks.

Different Approaches
December 3, 2010
Today is a continuation of the reports being discussed in clas. Things are being clarified as we go along. Although I've encountered fdifferent theories on my previous classes, I still appreciate knowing them all as a recall. Like the behaviorist theory on which students learn due to external stimulus, and a ceratain condition will be repeated (S-R). For the cognitivism, it it treats the human brain as a computer. The 4 stages of cognitive development by Jean Piaget was also discussed. Since we are talking of cognitivism it involves the Information Processing wherein filtering, processing, selecting and retrieving of information happen. A tip given for this is to engage the students in some meaningful acticities so they can recall it. Next, is the constructivism which simply state and believe that children are scientists, they construct their own works or perception. experts will only act as scaffolding. For the Brain-based learning theory, people learn best when they are solving realistic problems because feedback is best when it comes from reality. Those are only few of the theories we discussed and learn much from them.

Behaviorism
December 1, 2010
It was our group reporting and our topic was all about "Behaviorism". It was a successful presentation and I am glad taht we discussed the different proponents of beaviorism which ere Pavlov,Thorndike, Bandura and Skinner. For a student to achieve learning there are stimuli and reinforcements taht may result to the conditioning of one child.

Technology in our lives...
November 24, 2010 Wednesday
A group activity was done and it was a good day for all of us. It was so good to know that inspite the fact that our world is becoming so modern, we still have this idea of being balancing what was really needed in our educational system. In just a click everything will be possible for us to know, but through this techie gadgets we were able to communicate and even know more what is behind the walls of our boundaries. Laptops, cellphones and some gadgets were indeed a necessities nowadays, but parent, school administrators and students must be responsible enough on how they can these things provide education for the young minds.
It's a realization...
November 19, 2010
KITKAT time :)) So good to know and to be aware of what are the things we have to know when it comes to learning. There will be no time that there is no need to have teachers. Though there are already media that nay aid student's learning, teachers are still very essential in a classroom setting. Therefore being a teacher we are given a big role and special task to to share the things we know to our learners, not just to give them knowledge but also to make a change for the betterment of a child and even to our educational system.
