Instructional Material: Display Surfaces



                          Here in this picture is an improvised "Smart board"  


SMART Boards Why are they so easy to use?: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0U05WeXPGlk


Display surfaces materials are reliable, because in case of failure of electricity or of internet connection, there wouldn't be a problem, and teachers will still be able to continue with the class. 
Smartboards on the other hand, provides a new technology for the children to use. With these, children can easily manipulate drawings, texts, etc.

Kahoot! is an application which can be accessed thru web or with a mobile application. It is a Quiz application which can be used as a review of a previous lesson or an assessment tool to evaluate one's understanding of a lesson. It also serves as an ice-breaker. This game can make our class fun and active!
Instructional Materials: Powerpoint

A Powerpoint Presentation will make it easier for the teacher to present a topic. It wouldn't be difficult for him/her to easily change or modify a figure (e.g. circle). In this specific discussion, the teacher would want to discuss about parts of the circle, and with just a click of a key, she can easily illustrate these parts in a clear and colorful way.
Instructional Materials: Prezi Presentation

Using a Prezi Presentation, its appealing and pleasing graphics make it engaging for the students. It makes them curious and having a new way of showing them the lesson help them build more interest in the topic and discussion.

My Classroom Layout

DOOR: Even before the students get inside the classroom, I would want them to see this as a way to let them know they are a part of this class, whoever they are and whatever they want to be. I want them to feel welcome and I want to help them find FUN in learning.
FRONT WALL: This will be where the students will be looking most of the time. And this quote of Confucius is something that I want them to see and read as often as possible. I don't want them to feel discouraged throughout their journey in learning especially if some of their classmates would understand the lessons faster than them.

BACK WALL: I would the wall at the back of the classroom to like this. I want the students to be able to find some useful information as they look around. The different information and topics will be updated daily / weekly / monthly. 
STUDENT PROFILE: As part of the back wall, there is a tree with all the names of the students in my class. And each of them will be a  "fruit". A fruit is to symbolize that these students in my class will the result of a year-long learning journey in my class. For each profile, I will be putting a picture of each student and underneath will be what they wanted to become. I want to remind them as often as possible of their dreams to help them feel motivated.
WINDOW-SIDE WALL: On the side wall with the windows, I would post the best achievers of the class. Though I will not rank them according to their grades, however, this will serve two purposes. First, this will serve as a challenge to others who would want to be commended and praised by being in the list. Secondly, this will also serve as a way to challenge those in the list if they can maintain their position as an achiever.
