Task Sheet 7
Writing a Reflection to be Posted on the online Blog/Classroom – made twitter Wall. Direction: Each student will write a reflection pertaining to the Dale’s Cone of Experience. You will be graded based on the rubrics below.
Dale’s Cone of Experience is a model about the percentage of remembering things. In reading, 10% of all the information is only stored in child’s memory. So, it is not good that teacher and parents just let the children read and comprehend the modules on their own. In hearing different lesson through discussion, music and radios, children can only remember 20% of it. It means that hearing a discussion is better than reading books and modules alone. Hearing lesson can stimulate understanding and imagination of the student and it will be easier for them to have an idea to remember the lesson. Seing visuals enable the children to establish, explain, connect, and associate ideas and concepts to make the process of learning more interesting and effective. It also helps the students to gain proper view about the topic but only 30% of information are remebered. A combination of hearing and seeing the lesson stimulates the thinking, reasoning, problem-solving, decision-making, and creating. Videos take the student beyond recall-and-relate activities. Learning video is a tool to help the children to remember 50% of the lesson. Learning is not about absorbing the information in the topic but also giving insights about the topic. It will help the students to retain the 70% of lesson. The best thing to attain 90% of learning and rettaining lesson is by engaging and demonstrating the things that an individual have learned.

Dale’s Cone of Experience is a model that incorporates several theories related to instructional design and learning processes. It illustrates the capacity of the students to remeber what they have learn by specific types of activity such as reading, hearing, seeing visuals, watching videos, disccussion, practicing and demonstrating. It allows instructors to understand how to increase the retention rate of learners by letting the learner experience learning.
It provides teaching and learning models that allows teachers to know the retention rate of the student and cope up with a good strategy on how to impart the lesson to the students. While the learner participate in the learning process, they awaken the sensory organs to easily absorb the shared knowledge.
Teaching is not about distributing knowledge and just let the students to take it. Teaching is about knowing the students in able to give what they need. Knowing the capacity of the students, interest of the students to learn, knowing what type of learner they are (whether they are visual learner, kinesthetic learner and etc) and also knowing the retention of the students from different aspects of learning. Cone of experience is a good model for the teacher to follow to come up with the teaching strategies that will help for the retainment of the knowledge for every topic.

Task Sheet 8
Direction: Write an essay which analyze the relation of SAMR with Bloom’s Revised Taxonomy Discussion and Selection of technology that can be integrated in a lesson.
SAMR is a abbreviation for Substitution, Augmentation, Modification and Redifinition. It is a model for different methods on how an individual will use the technology inside the classroom. Substituting a basic activity for another technology-integrated basic activity. There is no change in the activity regardless of the presence of technology. Augmentation refers to the technology that is use as a tool to help make the task a bit easier. There is very little change between the activity with and without technology, but change is noticeable. Modification means that common tasks are modified to increase accomplishment through technology. In Redefinition, learning is redefined with a tasks that were unable to be accomplished without technology.
The main purpose of SAMR is to move the simple task into using technologies. According to the article that I have read, SAMR coupled with Blooms moves the student from lower-level remembering to higher-order thinking of evaluating and creating. They also possess a two function that cn be applied for the learning of student. The first is for remembering and retaining the knowledge that have been taught to the students. The second is for good deliveration, in order to explain, demonstrate and let the student’s experience holistic learning.
It is important to use technology effectively so that it will help to increase the student engagement, improve teacher’s way of instructing and also build the 21st century skills of the student through the use of technology.

Direction: Look for a research article pertaining to TPACK and ASMR model and create an analysis from the said research article
Both TPACK and SAMR model is used for the technology integration in classroom. It helps the rducators to imrove on how effectively promote learning through the use of technology. SAMR is all about the substituting traditional learning into productive learning through technology. Both models have great value to them. The TPACK model focuses more on the knowledge required to meaningfully integrate technology, and the SAMR model focuses more on what meaningful technology integration looks like. Author says that if she would choose in two, she would pick SAMR. Because this model encourage the learning above the line. According also to the article that I have read that if you will integrate technology to the class that doesn’t redefine the educational experience and enhance learning, then it’s not an appropriate technology. It is a good idea when deciding if a technology is appropriate. The author states that the SAMR model is great at helping new tech coaches to understand this concept of “teaching above the line”.The higher the level of an activity the greater the educational benefit. Still, it is better for the educators to use both models in order to promote better learning for the students.

Essay Writing:
1. How useful can assure model be in your career as a future teacher?
2. How can assure model be used to improve teaching and learning?
3. Will you consider using these models in your classroom in the future
ASSURE is an instructional design paradigm that aims to improve teaching and learning effectiveness. The ASSURE model is a step-by-step procedure for creating and delivering instructions that incorporates technology and media into the learning process. It also refers to a method of preparing lesson plans that aids teachers in structuring classroom operations. The ASSURE methodology focuses on the preparation for actual media use in the classroom. As a result, some argue that most teachers are aware of this and recognize that incorporating technology into the curriculum is the best way to make a positive influence in education, and that there are numerous particular tactics that can be utilized to incorporate technology into the mix.
The ASSURE Model will be valuable in my future job as a teacher since it will serve as a guide for me when it comes to incorporating technology into the classroom. It is extremely beneficial for instructors to implement digital learning for all pupils in order to capture their attention, curiosity, and even retention of knowledge.
This model will be used in my classroom in the future, which will benefit both me and my pupils. It’s useful because when creating well-stated learning objectives, this model takes into account the audience, behavior, conditions, and level of competence.

I have found an article entitled “The top 10 lPlagiarism Stories” posted by Jonathan Bailey on Feb 27, 2017. retrieved from: https://www.ithenticate.com/plagiarism-detection-blog/the-top-10-plagiarism-stories-of-2016
“In a year like 2016, the list could be much longer. But, in the end, these were our picks for the biggest plagiarism stories of 2016.
Nigerian President Plagiarizes President Obama
In September, Nigerian President Muhammadu Buhari addressed his nation and announced a new push to eliminate “dishonestly, indolence, unbridled corruption and widespread impunity” in the country. Unfortunately for Buhari, it turned out that at least one passage from the speech was plagiarized nearly verbatim from U.S. President Barack Obama. Though Buhari quickly apologized and dismissed the aid who he said was responsible for the plagiarism, the scandal put more than a small crimp in Buhari’s anti-corruption campaign. Fortunately for Buhari, the scandal seems to have largely subsided and, in the end, became little more than a footnote to his career.”
The article discusses plagiarism being serious deal. In 2016, many individuals are gotten that they have straightforwardly duplicated the works and genuine expressions of the proprietor and put it into theirs. Since Bailey put 10 examples, I will just specify the primary situation that has recorded on the article.
Regardless of whether an individual say’s that he simply duplicate a one sentence yet not giving credits to the proprietor, it is as yet taking others work. The Nigerian president Muhammadu Buhari counterfeited what is the precisely expression that US President Obama expressed. Indeed, even in a solitary cited sentence, counterfeiting ruin his standing and make a major outrage for himself as well as his vocation.
