Introduction
Teaching becomes rewarding when learners get the most from instructions manifested in their performance. An
important element in engaging learners is when the strategy used in delivering the lesson uses an instructional material.
When properly and appropriately used, it can spice up a classroom activity.
These instructional materials may come in varied forms. One group refers to the conventional and non-digital tools.
A classroom will always need a chalkboard or a writing board that may come in varied forms and shapes. Bulletin boards,
flip charts, dioramas, puppets, terrarium, and the like, will always find their significance in any classroom. However,
nowadays, lesson can be made more relevant and engaging for learners as digital tools are integrated. This module present
both non-digital and digital tools. Explore the possibilities of learning about these tools and how to effectively integrate
them in instruction.

Lesson 1: Development and Use of Non-Digital or conventional Materials

Module Outcomes

1. Described the procedures form developing conventional instructional materials

2. Developed instructional materials based on a given topic and strategy
3. Described the factors to consider in revising media selections and delivery systems for given instruction

The teachers need instructional materials to enhance teaching and learning. instructional materials are defined as
print and non-print items that re rested to impact information to students in the educational process (Effiong & Igiri,
2015). Examples of instructional materials are drawings, kits, textbooks, posters, magazines, flip chart, newspapers,
diorama, pictures, recording videos and the like.
Instructional materials have several roles in teaching and learning which include the following:
(1) they promote meaningful communication and effective learning;
(2) they ensure better retention, thus making learning more permanent;
(3) they help to overcome the limited classroom by making the inaccessible accessible;
(4) they provide a common experience upon which late learning can be developed; and
(5) they encourage participation especially if students are allowed to manipulate materials used (Brown et al., 2005;
Effiong & Igiri, 2015).

Instructional materials are the supplementary materials, which help the teaching to make his/her presentation
concrete, effective, interesting, meaningful and inspiring. In any teaching and learning process, instructional materials play
a vital role as they provide sensory experiences to the learners. The primary aim of teaching materials is to provide the
teachers the layout of the way for teaching in the classroom.

It is important to understand how to develop instructional materials. Instructional materials refer to any
preexisting materials that are being incorporated, as well as to those that will be specifically developed for the objectives
(Haigler, 2014). There are also several factors to consider in developing instructional materials:
1. Develop a story board and working outline based o the subject goals and objectives.
2. Identify existing institutional resources including materials and teaching capability.
3. The teacher may research off the shelf materials that have been developed by others to determine if their
approach could be useful.
4. Explore the possibility of adapting concepts of other teachers without infringing on anyone’s copy protected
design.
5. Modify existing materials based on the objectives of the lesson.
6. If the instructional materials are effective, you can share them with other teachers.
2
 7. The teacher developer can also sell her/his materials available.

Instructional materials are a great help in stimulating and facilitating the learning of the learners. According to
Wright (1976:1) as cited in Cakir (2006) many media and many styles of visual presentation are useful to the language
learner. All audio-visual materials have positive contributions to language learning as long as they are used at the right
time, in the right place. In the teaching and learning process, learners use their eyes as well as their ears; but their ayes
are basic in learning.

1. Diorama – it will make the classroom to be creative and innovative. It is a fun way to build an existing scene in a
small space. Dioramas are small scenes created of layers of materials, all depicting a similar concept of theme.
They usually display a historical time period, a nature scene, or a fictional situation. In developing diorama, you
will: (1) choose a concept of theme, (2) research the subject, (3) make a rough sketch of your ideal diorama, (4)
make a list of the items you’ll need and gather your supplies, and (5) select a container or box.

2. Natural Table – this is a table that contains objects and/or scenes related to the current season, or upcoming
festival or a symbol of an ecosystem. Children love to follow the natural changes that the world offers each
moth and classroom decorations reflect these.

3. Writing Board – can display information written with chalk (chalkboard) or blackboard) or special pens
(whiteboard). Although there are usually more effective methods of transmitting information, the writing boards
is still the most common used visual aid.

Suggestions on Using the Writing Board:

a. Keep the board clean
b. Use chalk or pens that contrast with the background of the board so that the students can see the
information clearly.
c. Make text and drawings large enough to be seen from the back of the room.

3
 d. Prepare complex drawing in advance (if very complex, an overhead transparency of 35 mm slide may be
preferable).
e. Underline heading and important or unfamiliar words for emphasis.
f. Do not walk while facing the board.
g. Do not block the students views of the board; stand aside when writing or drawing is complete.
h. Allow sufficient time or students to copy the information from the board.

https://tinyurl.com/y4zwmmqc

4. Flip chart – It is a large tablet or pad of paper, usually on a tripod or stand.

Suggestions of Using Flipchart:
a. Use wide-tipped pens or markers; markers with narrow tips produce printing that is difficult to read.
b. Print in block letters that are large enough to be read easily from the back of the room.
c. Use different colored pens to provide contrast; this make the pages visually attractive and easier to read.
d. Use headings, boxes, cartoons and borders to improve the appearance of the page.
e. Use bullets to delineate items on the page.
f. Leave plenty of “white space” and avoid putting too much information on one
page. (Crowded and poorly arranged information is distracting and difficult to
read).
g. When pages are prepared in advance, use every other page. If every page is
used, colors will show through and make text difficult to read.
h. Have masking tape available to put pages up around the room during
brainstorming and problem – solving activities.
i. To hide a portion of the page, fold up the lower portion of the page and tape
it. When ready to reveal the information, remove the tape and let the page
drop.
j. Face the student, not the flipchart while talking.

5. Zigzag board – it is a multi-board series of three or four rectangular boards. They are joined together along the sides by hinges
so that they can be easily folded up and carried. Each board can be of a different type, for example, a whiteboard, a
chalkboard, a flannel board and so on. The size of the boards for the zigzag multi-board depends on what you want to use
them for.

6. Wall display – Displaying items on a classroom wall is a well-known, tried and tested educational method. A wall display is a
collection of many different types of items and materials put up on a wall to make an interesting and informative display. In
a classroom, the display can consist of the students’ own work. In development work it can be used convey information to
the community.

7. Rope and Pole display board – this board consists of two parallel, horizontal poles tied loosely together with rope. Visual aids
such as poster can be pinned to the rope. This kind of display board is invaluable where there are few solid walls for displaying
information. It has no solid backing and can be made quickly for teaching. Training and when working with communities.
a. Unity – use only one idea for each visual aid and include a headline.
b. Simplicity – make ideas and relationships simple and easy to recall. Avoid cluttering a visual with too many words,
numbers, or graphics. The audience should be able to grasp the concept in 10 to 15 seconds.
4
 c. Legibility – make letters big and readable for all in the audience.
d. Consistency – use the same type style and art style.
e. Clarity – avoid type that is too small to read; avoid all caps.
f. Quality – make it neat and professional, and remember to proofread.

 Experience

It is necessary to be receptive or open to the possibilities of the use of instructional materials. Instructional materials are of
many kinds: textbooks, audio and video cassettes, handouts, charts, teaching aids of various kinds which can all be used for different
purposes by the teacher. Classroom instructional materials do not mean only the materials available in the market.
There is no substitute for hands-on experience in creating instructional materials. The following are suggested steps in
developing instructional materials; (1) find existing materials that may be adopted or amended to meet your needs; (2) use tools to
create new instructional materials that help plan and carry out the development process; (3) implement preproduction activities
before materials are created; (4) schedule the crafting of the story board; and (5) when developing content, provide contextualizing
elements (collaboration, role play, case studies).

Lesson 2: Select and Use ICT Tools for Teaching and Learning
Module Outcomes

1. Selected and used an appropriate digital tool in teaching

2. Provided alternative ways in incorporating the digital tool in a lesson

Introduction
The current systems employ technologies by integrating ICT tools and applications in education and in instruction. ICT stands
for Information and Communications Technology. This refers to various tools and devices or gadgets used in communicating,
dissemination, creating, storing and managing information. It is important that learners understand how to use these tools in helping
them learn.
A great part of learning in working on information and using it to create something that can be useful and edifying for
humanity. Since the intention of education is to make learners become useful and productive citizens, the use of ICT tools can provide
a lot of possibilities on how learners can do something with what they know. Teachers can therefore employ ICT tools in their ways of
engaging learners by communicating, disseminating, and managing information. This direction of integrating ICT tools will reveal the
usefulness of employing ICT Tools in a wider range of the teaching and learning process.
It is not necessarily the presence of advanced technology or the use of ICT tools that can ensure the success in engaging
learners, but it still remains that the effective use of ICT tools depends on how the teacher will use them. There is a variety of ICT tools
from which to choose. When employed appropriately, the potentials of their uses can have bearing on the lesson and learners’
engagement in the process of learning. in instruction the ICT tools can be used in the presentation of the lesson, demonstrating a point
or presenting a concept. There are tools that can be used in providing practice or provide the chance to apply skills taught. Even when
working as a team or a group, tools can be employed to facilitate the accomplishment of the task during the class or even after beyond
the face-to-face session.

Looking at the figure above, ICT integration in education allows ease of processing of information, effective accessibility to resources, easy
sharing of resources, expression of creativity and effective collaboration. All these are easily done using the gadget you have in your pockets or
backpacks.
Let me walk you through the selection and use of a digital tool and how you can integrate it in your lesson.

A. Using Mobile Phone and the QR Code
Since ICT integration allows ease of processing of information, here’s an example of how we can read information at a quicker speed and
in an interesting manner.

Have you seen a symbol like this one below? This is now popularly used in different products, reading materials, and even in museums. This
is a QR code.

What is a QR Code
Are you familiar with a QR Code?

Familiarize yourself with a QR Code. It is a code that was created by a Japanese corporation Denso-Wave in 1994. Effectively and efficiently
connecting the physical world with the electronic world, QR stand for “Quick Response.” It allows the readers to decode the information at a high
rate of speed. This is popular in Japan and it is also used by companies as they attach their QR code in their products. It usually gives a URL linking
you to a website or immediately provides the salient information about the product.

You can easily read QR codes through a QR code scanner. Here’s all you need to do:
1. Have a mobile phone with a camera;
2. Using the mobile phone, download from Playstore or App Store the QR Code Reader/Scanner application. Choose an appropriate QR code
reader for your operating system whether IOS or Android. Once installed in your gadget, you can use it to read the codes.
3. Focus your camera on the QR code. Click I t and the message will be revealed to you.

More interesting than reading QR codes is creating your own QR codes.

How will you make your own QR Code?

Step 1: Be online
Step 2: Search for a QR Code generator and ensure that you read the information about the
application. This is important to ensure your safety in the internet. There are tons of QR
code generators out there but a few of the most popular include Kaywa, GOQR.me,
Visualead, and QR Stuff. There are many FREE applications online and therefore you can
take this chance to use theme.
Step 3: Once you have identified your fee online QR Code Generator, you can now encode
the text of the information that you want.
Step 4: Run it and save it as a jpeg file. Now, you have successfully created your own code
which you can download.
Step 5: Test QR code using your QR Code reader or scanner.

Your task:
Using your QR Code Reader or Scanner, find out the given text encoded in the QR ode.

Dyadic Work: Perform the instruction and share what you have read.

B. Using Laptop and the Infographics

There is an apparent deluge of information around and access to these is made easier through the internet. You are faced
with one major question on how to best interpret it all and put it into one cohesive information that is quick and clear to read.

In the teaching and learning context, you may be faced with a challenging topic given a short amount of time. How can you
capture and deliver that information simply and effectively while making in engaging and informative as well? Infographics are an
immediate answer to this situation. The infographics is another interesting tool to used in instruction.

There are many ways for which infographics can be used.

Using infographics:
1) To present survey data
Presenting statistical data such as from surveys
can be overwhelming. Infographics can be highly useful.
Data are much easier to decode. They can be made easier
and quicker to understand if they are presented in an
infographic. An example is given below.

2) To simplify a complex concept

Simplifying a complex idea is the core
purpose of using an infographics. This is a very
effective educational tool as a way of summarizing
key points or providing an overview of a lesson.

3) To explain how something functions

Using infographics, you can show the
intricacy of how something complex works. It can
reveal the mechanics behind how an object works.
Designers can create infographics by showing the
mechanics behind intricate objects, processes,
concepts.

4) To compare
Presenting information by highlighting similarities and differences through a visual parallel in an infographic can turn
out more effective than sometimes expressing it in words. It is easier to draw comparisons with same information neatly
organized.
Assess the given the infographic of a superhero – Batman – from time it was conceived in 1039 to 2013.

Would you say that it is effective? Why or Why Not?

What are they key elements that the designer clearly employed to show a visual starting point?

5) To present interesting facts

When information of facts are presented all in words, the use of infographics can bring life. It done well,
the infographics can transform the information into visual image that can attract and engage the readers.

If there is a written text, the information may not stand out compared to when it is presented in this format.
Information written in snippets becomes understandable and more appealing to the eye.
