Indicator 2: Positive use of ICT
- So-fa syllables
- Have the students play the so-fa syllables on the screen (piano app)

generally shows evidences of the positive use of ICT to facilitate the teaching and learning
process.)

books, journals, research reports, databases, scripts, etc. in digital form), and
- digital information/media (e.g., digital images, video, audio, websites, web pages, social
media, etc.) that can be used for instruction.
- STANDARDS IN THE POSITIVE USE OF ICT IN EDUCATION

Indicator 3: Literacy and Numeracy
- Value of notes / number of notes
- Compute in the board
- The teacher makes no reference to the use of numerical concepts and literacy skills to
understand the lesson. (Elements of Music – Melody (Kodaly Method – So Fa Syllables,
Kinds of notes, notes durations, note names – ABDEFG notes, the sounds in the piano of
every letter names) the relationship between letters and sounds.
- define specific terms needed to develop learners’ full understanding of literacy and/or
numeracy concepts. (define what melody and rhythm is)
- The teacher uses activities that enhance literacy and/or numeracy in almost all aspects of
the lesson.
- NUMERACY SKILLS (important to understand and apply)
- skills which consist of comprehending and applying fundamental arithmetic operations
like addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. Numeracy skills may also include
the ability to reason with mathematical concepts like interpreting data, charts, and
diagrams; to process information; to solve problems; and to make decisions based on
logical thinking and reasoning.

The teacher extends the discussion by inviting learners to give comments to others' answers/output during the discussion.
5. The teacher challenges learners to formulate high-level questions to provoke one another’s thinking.
The teacher and learners collaboratively apply ideas to create life-long learning activities that can be applied to real-life
situations.
