CHAPTER 1Teachers and Students in the Digital Age

The Promising Teacher of the 21^st Century

This activity aims to establish the educational practices of teachers in today’s century.

Visit a class of the same specialization/major as yours, then observe the teaching methods and strategies being practiced in class and fill out the table below. The class observation in the same class may not be limited to one visitation. Observe as many times as you wish for as long as the objective of this activity is attained.

Subject:		Science 1	Subject:		Science 1
Schedules of Observation:			Instructional Materials Used:		LCD Projector, Laptop
Teaching Method Used:		Authentic/Student- Centered approach/ Performance Based
Were the instructional materials categorized under educational technologies? How were they used effectively in the teaching and learning process? ·         The instructional materials used by the teacher can be categorized into educational technologies because the teacher used Power point presentation in her classes. Wherein teachers nowadays find it more easy to use this kind of technology rather than making their own visual aids in manila papers and cartolinas. The instructional materials used by the teacher were effective because the students are active and willing to participate every activities and recitation that will enhance the teaching learning process.
Describe the teaching practices employed in the class. How did it expand student’s acquisition of 21st century skills? ·         The practice that were employed by the teacher in the class is very appropriate in the 21st century learners or what we called the millennials. Because the students are let to explore by themselves and they are responsible by their own learning, of course they were guided by the teacher. Teachers in the 21st century are considered as facilitators of learning. The practice expands the student’s acquisition of the 21st century skills because the teacher allowed the students to construct their own understanding of the subject matter. Teachers makes use of materials that are technologically educational inclined. And the teacher assess the students based on their performance.

Making my Learning Global

This activity aims to let the students realize their significant roles in making their learning global.

Considering the 21st century skills that the students have to acquire, list down the characteristics you possess in achieving the 21st century skills. In the next column, write the skills you need to develop in achieving the 21st century skills, what do you wish to contribute to your community and even to the world upon finishing your degree to make the economy/education productive, stronger and better?

What characteristics do I possess in achieving the 21st century skills?	What 21st century skills I need to  develop?	How will I acquire the 21st century skills I need to develop?	What I wish to contribute in making my community  and the world productive, stronger and better in terms of economy and education?
·         Channel- I should serve as a connecting device for curriculum and the technology. ·         Communicator- I will able to contact my students at all times with the use of technology. ·         Learner- I should accept the changes and learn more regarding the technology of the future. ·         Futurist- I should inculcate technology in my lessons for the students to understand better. ·         Learner- I should lead my students with the proper use of materials and the technology. ·         Exemplar- I should become model to my students on how I handle my social life in terms of technology. ·         Innovative- I should innovate teaching styles and materials that include technology to make teaching learning process much better.	·         I think there is nothing that I need to develop in the given 21st century skills, because I am ready to become a 21st century teacher, what I need is to practice this skills to enhance them in every aspects.	·         Through practice	·         Technology nowadays spreading in the world with the speed of light. Even child who turns year old is handling a phone or tablet. Every computer shop is full of kids. So what I wish to contribute in making the community and the world more productive is the use of technology to make our lives easier. In education teachers should channel technology in the teaching learning process. And in the economy business man should use high tech equipment in their factories in order to improve their productions and we are able to explore goods in other countries. In this way, our country will become globally competitive.

Teaching and Learnings: Then and Now

This activity will allow the students to differentiate teaching and learning in the early generations and learning in the 21st century.

This activity will be done with a partner. There will be two sets of interview to be done – 1) interview your teacher/parent/relative who experienced learning in early generations; and 2) interview your classmate/friend/relative who belong to a younger generation. Ask how was teaching and learning like during their time in terms of teaching method, materials, technologies, assessments, and activities done in class. Share them by writing the details below

Name: Nolita Rigor and Mikaela Salcedo
Relationship: Former teacher and classmate
Item	Early Generation	Younger Generation
Teaching and Learning Environment	·         Their learning environment is not much more conducive to learning.	·         Their learning environment accommodated flexibility. ·         They were taught in a more constructivist environment.
Teaching Method	• Traditional/Teacher Centered Approach ·         Teacher-centric educational system in which children should be seen and not heard and teachers doled out corporal punishment to kids who spoke out of turn, they often favor instructor-driven lectures and typically raise their hands to request permission before speaking.	• Student Centered Approach ·         Organize discussion groups in a small‐group format with defined and achievable tasks. ·         Increase the use of simulation‐based learning. ·         Use Internet‐based resources, such as pod‐casts and live webinars, to enhance the educational experience. ·         Develop case‐based blogs for asynchronous learning.
Instructional Materials And Technology Used	They were taught in a linear fashion. They read books. Not only that, they read books from cover-to-cover. They were taught by lecture. Prevalent learning technologies included overhead projectors, filmstrips, and some video.	Changes in educational tools and trends require us to consider digital literacy. They did research in a networked structure. When asked to investigate a topic they would most likely turn to a computer.  They had unlimited information available at their fingertips and were comfortable changing focus quickly. Their new blackboard is the iPad.
How was Learning Achieved	•        Instructor-directed lectures •        Structure and predictability (no surprises) •        Independent skill practice time	•        Lots of activity-based group work •        Individualized feedback and mentoring •        Technology enabled learning and use of their own devices during class
Assessments	•        Given every end of the topic and will be seen from the textbooks	• Given every end of the topic and can be searched on the internet

B. Answer the questions below and make a pact in improving yourself in meeting the standards of using technology in education.


1. Which among the standards do you practice the least? Why?

      I sometimes practice the Critical Thinking, Problem Solving & Decision Making standard, because whenever I install an application in my phone I ended up logging i to my social media accounts. And sometimes I practice the Digital Citizenship standard because I am disobeying the rules of the application wherein I download applications that are already purchased by someone and posted for free in the black market in the internet. And I even download music illegally.

2. What intended actions will you do to meet the said standard/s?

            I will practice to focus whenever I will install an application that is appropriate to practice my problem solving skills. And I will try to be more illicit in downloading from the internet.
