PRAYER

Heavenly Father, we come to you today in prayer,

asking for your guidance and wisdom as we begin
this online class. Help us to stay focused and
attentive as we learn and grow together. Give us
the strength to stay motivated and the courage to
ask questions when needed.
We thank you for the opportunity to learn and grow in
knowledge. May our minds be open to new ideas and
our hearts be filled with understanding.
In Jesus name, Amen.

 STUDENT SAMPLE
PROJECTS USING
OPEN-ENDED TOOLS
At the of the lesson, the learner should be able to:

integration is not enough to make learning efficient
and meaningful. Moreover, an effective and efficient
technology-supported lesson does not only end with
having a well-designed learning plan. This means that
there is a need to prepare all the learning tools and
materials articulated in the learning plan and these
must be ready for implementation.

B. ENHANCING LANGUAGE SKILLS THROUGH DIGITAL STORYTELLING

One of the most exciting ICT-based language tasks that can be done to develop all the
four macro skills is to create digital stories. Today's learners are more demanding and
are willing to discover new ways to apply, extend, and expand on existing knowledge
(Kaminskiene & Khetsuriani, 2018.)

Responding to these challenges, language classroom facilitators need to migrate to a

more flexible and modernized delivery of the language curriculum.

In language education, storytelling is a common requirement that aims to share one's

stories, culture, knowledge, values, language, and others. Storytelling has been
considered to have great contribution to literacy development by improving learners'
language, writing, reading or listening skills (Kaminskiene & Khetsuriani, 2018.) At
present, storytelling is not just done face-to-face or through the aid of traditional
technologies. This can already be done digitally. Hence, the word digital storytelling.
 IN A RESEARCH CONDUCTED BY OLIVIA AND BIDARRA (2017),
THEY AFFIRMED THAT DIGITAL STORIES ARE VERY HELPFUL
BECAUSE THEY HELP DEVELOP UNDERSTANDING INDIVIDUAL
EXPERIEN AND PERCEPTION OF REAL WORLD AMONG
LEARNERS.

RONG AND NOOR (2019) CITED SOME RESEARCHES CONDUCTED

IN VARIOUS COUNTRIES SAYING THAT IN THE HASIC SCHOOLS
IN OYA STATE, IT WAS DISCOVERED THAT DIGITAL
STORYTELLING WAS ABLE TO IMPROVE KINDERGARTEN PUPILS'
ACHIEVEMENT INTELLING INSTRUCTION.
IT WAS PROVEN IN PORTUGAL THAT THE USE OF DIGITAL
STORYTELLING AMONG SECONDARY SCHOOL STUDENTS
ENCOURAGED MULTIMODAL LITERACY IN EDUCATION.
ADDITIONALLY, IN SOUTHERN TAIWAN, RESEARCH SHOWED THAT
PROJECT-BASED DIGITAL STORYTELLING TECHNIQUE IMPROVED
ELEMENTARY SCHOOL STUDENTS' LEARNING MOTIVATION, PROBLEM-
SOLVING COMPETENCE AS WELL AS THEIR LEARNING ACHIEVEMENT.

LENETTE ET AL. (2019) IN THEIR PAPER HIGHLIGHTS THE BROADER

POTENTIAL OF DIGITAL STORYTELLING PARTICULARLY IN MENTAL
HEALTH RESEARCH IN COLLABORATION WITH REFUGEE
PARTICIPANTS.

C. ENHANCING LANGUAGE SKILLS THROUGH
E-MAIL ACTIVITIES

• Email activities are very good activities to develop

language skills. Through some e-mail activities that can be
facilitated by a teacher, the students are given the
opportunity to practice and demonstrate their reading and
writing skills.

According to Barron et al. (2002) were able to present the

following email activities that can be fully maximized to
develop the various language skills of students.
1. PEN-PAL ACTIVITIES

This is the most common form of e-mail projects called

electronic pen pals or e-pals. Students can practice their
written communication skills and can become aware of
other cultures and practice foreign language skills. This can
be done through the following

Another form of electronic communication is peer-to-peer tutoring or
mentoring. By using e-mail communication, students will be provided with
opportunities to practice their mentoring skills apart from enhancing their
language skills.

3. ASK AN EXPERT
Email is a very powerful tool for students to use to engage the experts in the
field especially if the experts are far from their institution.

4. ROUND ROBIN STORIES

Round Robin Stories approach, a participating class starts a story with one
paragraph. The story starter is sent to a predetermined class (clase one sends
its story class two, and so on). Students work in small groups to add a new
paragraph to the story.
PUBLICATION REQUIREMENTS IN THE LIGHT
OF THE DIGITAL AGE

While there is a ubiquity of productivity tools for students to

maximize, it is your responsibility as the facilitator of the
learning process to ensure that your students will be fully
guided to observe several guidelines in publishing their
products, design, photography, audio, video, computer
programming, etc. (wilde, 2004).
 A. COPYRIGHT LAWS
Copyright Law protects works of authorship. Hence, it is
very important for teachers and students to learn more
about copyrights laws and copyright acts to ensure that
there will be no copyright infringements that will happen
in the process of authoring of publishing materials offline
or online.
According to FindLaw (2020), the Copyright Act states that works of
authorship include the following types of works :

Litetary works - Novels, nonfiction Pantomimes and choreographic works

prose, poetry, newspaper articles - Ballets, modern dance, jazz dance,
and newspapers, magazine articles and mime works.
and magazines, computer software, Pictorial, graphic, and sculptural
software documentation and works -Photographs, posters, maps,
manuals, training manuals, manuals, paintings, drawings, graphic art,
display ads, cartoon strips and cartoon
catalogs, brochures, ads (text), and
characters, stuffed animals, statues,
compilations such as business
paintings, and works of fine art.
directories.
Sound recordings - Recordings of
Musical works -Songs, advertising
music, sounds, or words .
jingles, and instrumentals. Architectural works -Building designs,
Dramatic works - Plays, operas, and whether in the form of architectural
skits. plans, drawings, or the constructed
building itself
FindLaw (2020) further states that Copyright Law is important for
multimedia developers and publishers for two reasons:

a. Original multimedia works are protected by copyright.

The Copyright Act's exclusive rights provision gives
developers and publishers the right to control
unauthorized exploitation of their works.
b. Multimedia works are created by combining "content"
music, text, graphics, illustrations, photographs, software
that is protected under copyright law. Developers and
publishers must avoid infringing copyrights owned by
others.
The detailed information about Copyright Laws can be searched from
the World Wide Web.

B. Anti-Bullying Act of 2013.

The Anti-Bullying Act of 2013 in the Philippines mandates schools to adopt policies
to combat bullying. Bullying involves severe or repeated actions directed at
another student, causing harm, creating a hostile environment, infringing on rights,
or disrupting the education process. Cyberbullying, a common issue, is also a
concern, making teachers judicious in advising students online.

C. Republic Act 101751

The Cybercrime Prevention Act of 2012 acknowledges the crucial role of
information and communications industries in a nation's social and economic
development. It emphasizes the need for an environment conducive to ICT
development and protection of computer systems, networks, and databases. The
Act aims to prevent and combat offenses by facilitating detection, investigation,
and prosecution at domestic and international levels.
