ANALYZE

Are the learning resources/materials arranged properly according to their

functions and characteristics?

Because they are well positioned, structured, and executed, and there is
someone in charge of monitoring and ensuring that all resources are safe and ready
to use, I believe that the resources/materials are correctly organized according to
their responsibilities and attributes. The computers are adequately aired, and the
doors are clear of dust. Procedures are also in place to avoid the misappropriation of
resources and materials.

Do the guidelines and procedures facilitate easy access to materials by the
teachers? Why? Why not?

Yes. Guidelines and procedures encourage easy access to materials while

ensuring that everyone has access to the contents or resources. The resource
center has imposed some restrictions on computer use to ensure that everyone is
accommodated. If the pupils want to borrow the book, they only need to fill out a
borrowing form.

What are the strengths of this Learning Resource Center?

The learning resource center's qualities, in my opinion, are that it is extremely

favorable to learning because it is well-lit, well-ventilated, and clean. With the most
recent technical breakthroughs, the resources and materials are up to date.

What are its weakness?

Probably, one of its weaknesses is that the books in the library are perhaps a
little limited. And the computers are also limited.

What suggestions can you make?

The learning resource center's cleanliness and learning environment should

be maintained. Always double-check and update your resources and materials on a
regular basis.

REFLECT
1. Which of the materials in the Learning Resource Center caught your interest the
most? Why?

One of the learning resources that has piqued my interest the most is the
availability of a computer. Computers with internet connection provide vast amounts
of information and data that will substantially assist pupils in their learning. Unlike in
the past, when students depended primarily on books and other written materials,
today's students have access to a variety of resources.

2. Which gadgets/materials are you already to use/operate?

https://essu.edu.ph
 For me, the computer is the most comfortable piece of technology because
I've been using it for a long time and already know how to use it, and it's really basic
and easy to use, and it's essential nowadays; it's a requirement.

3. Which ones do you feel you need to learn more about?

I think the material that I need to learn about is the installation of projector
during reporting time.

Activity 11.3
Exploring Education 4.0

REFLECT
1. Describe your experience in surfing the internet for appropriate electronic
resources for the class? What made it easy? Difficult?
It is simple to surf the internet and find appropriate resources because
there is so much information available in just one click. However, there is also
a lot of information that isn't reliable, and fake news is rampant now on the
digital platform. As a teacher, you must be a vigilant researcher and only
download information from reliable and credible sources.

2. How did you choose which electronic resources to include here? What did you
consider? Explain. Which of the new trends in Education 4.0 would you like to
explore more for your work as a teacher? Why?

I chose those electronic materials because, in these pandemic times,

they are critical sources and a medium for teaching and learning. I'd like to
delve deeper into the broad universe of digital platforms since, in these
challenging times, everything should be done using technology.

3. Reflect on your technology skills. What skills do you already have, and what
skills would you continue to work on to be better at utilizing education 4.0
resources?
I have the ability to manipulate simple computer programs such as
Microsoft Word and PowerPoint. However, I acknowledge that I have a lot of
things that I need to work on and learn more about, such as editing
entertaining videos, photoshop, and filmmaking, which I believe is an
important skill that I should have.
