My Learning Episode Overview
Episode 6 provides opportunities for me to explore
the electronic resources for instructional use.
3. My Intended Learning Outcomes
In this Episode, I must be able to evaluate
electronic resources for appropriate
instructional use.
4. My Performance Criteria
I will be rated along the following:
quality of my observation and documentation,
Completeness and depth of analysis,
Depth and clarity of classroom observation – based
reflection,
Completeness, organization, clarity of portfolio and
Time of submission of portfolio.
5. My Learning Essentials
The world wide web is like an endless network of
information, ever-expanding and almost limitless.
Electronic resources come in different forms like websites,
webquests, blogs, social network sites, on-line courses, a
wide range of tools, and so many forms of apps.
6. As a future teacher, one of the skills that will be
most useful for you is the ability not only to search
for information but to make decisions, as to which
ones you will take and use and which ones you will
put aside. Aim to develop your skills in evaluating
internet resources. You will be able to choose the
best resources that will help you attain your
teaching learning objectives.
7. Set of criteria which you can use to evaluate
resources
Accuracy. The resource comes from a reliable
source and is accurate, free from error and is up -
to-date.
Appropriateness. The resource is grade/level
appropriate. The content matches what is needed by
the teacher.
Clarity. The resource clearly addresses the
instructional goals in mind.
8. Completeness. The content is complete. It has
all the information needed to be able to use
them.
Motivation. The resource is engaging and
rewarding to learners. It will encourage active
participation of the learners.
Organization. The resource is logically
sequenced. It clearly indicates what steps should
be taken. The procedures processes flow
smoothly.
9. For this process, explore the world through these steps:
