What will you do to assist your RT in setting up a conducive learning environment in the following conditions:
Small group Discussion
I would suggest assigning students to small groups so they can freely discuss a prompt the lecturer has offered. A group member is frequently chosen to present key points from their conversation to the class. Although it may require more preparation, leading a highly structured small-group conversation could give students a richer and more inclusive experience.
Checking class attendance in a virtual classroom
We may now use a variety of techniques to gather student attendance data, including Google Forms, which are among the greatest tools for monitoring attendance in online classes. In the Google Form, you may make an attendance record that you can hand out to the class. The attendance sheet with the timestamp will be self-reported by the class.
NOTICE:
1.If the teacher is using distance delivery of learning through modules. Where most is likely the learning space of the student’s?
The learning space of the students will most probably be Google Meet since it is convenient to use.
2.Can you describe?
Google Meet can empower you to enrich teaching and learning with advanced features like breakout rooms, live streaming, attendance tracking, Q&A, polls and more when you sign up for the Teaching and Learning Upgrade or Education Plus. It is a software intended to be used for conferences and group meetings.
3. How can you as a teacher help make such environment conducive for learning?
By utilizing virtual software programs, broadening their options, and providing them with the option of taking online classes or in-person classes, I believe I can assist the students in creating a learning atmosphere that is favorable to learning. At this time, we also take into account the value of digital.
Directions:
Given the concepts and the infographic, how can you participate and assist in a face- to face learning environment?
As a future teacher, I may participate in and contribute to a face-to-face learning environment by creating a welcoming, comfortable, and conducive classroom where students feel free to participate in class and ask questions. Students are encouraged to connect with one another, express their opinions, and give comments on material or lessons. In order to improve the quality of their task output, I will also let students work both independently and in groups to build their social, creative, and analytical thinking abilities. Additionally, I think I will be able to use a range of teaching techniques that will greatly benefit and support face-to-face learning given that we are using this new curriculum. I think I can use technology to make my classes more interesting for my students and to inspire them to consider and explore their learning.
NOTICE:
What have you noticed in the face-to-face classroom spaces?
Directions:
1.With the use of google meet, or any platform, organize a virtual class. Do this with the guidance of your RT/Mentor.
2. If time permits, try to handle one on-line class and use the guidelines above.
NOTICE:
1. As a teacher, what have you discovered to be easy to implement in your virtual class?
We did not conduct any virtual class because we were deployed in a school where full face-to-face classes are being implemented and we held our classes in the classrooms already.
2. How did the students show their participation in the classroom?
We did not conduct any virtual class because we were deployed in a school where full face-to-face classes are being implemented and we held our classes in the classrooms already.
3. List down the problems which you have encountered while implementing the routines.
We did not conduct any virtual class because we were deployed in a school where full face-to-face classes are being implemented and we held our classes in the classrooms already.
1. As a teacher, in which two situations, would you prefer? First, the leaners are in the same room or space while the second, the learners maybe in different spaces like homes, study hubs or in extreme cases parks or under the trees.
Explain your answer.
I prefer that my learners will be in the same room as me because learning can really be fun and feedback is more reliable since you can talk and have a conversation with them in person.
2. Think of about what brought the changes in face to-face learning environment now. Choose one that you can do. How will you do it?
We did not conduct any virtual class because we were deployed in a school where full face-to-face classes are being implemented and we held our classes in the classrooms already.
3. Which of the following is/are you analyses/analysis of on-line learning environment?
________It was difficult to observe the physical behavior of the students.
________ It takes time for the students to use the platform.
________ Students who ate alone in their home space find difficulty to make responses
________ Internet connection is a great factor to support a conducive environment

1.As a future teacher , I feel that on-line learning can be safe if the teacher uses the right amount of creativity. For students to be aware of what to avoid and report when completing coursework online, we realized it was crucial to define online security. Students are better prepared to form secure online habits in the future thanks to this awareness, which gives them the knowledge and abilities they'll need. Additionally, it instructs Internet safety can be improved by teaching students how to use the internet ethically and responsibly, even when they are not working on academic assignments. I think this is an instructional example.
2. I think that teaching in a virtual learning environment will be fascinating and thrilling for me because I'll be able to deliver my courses using a range of software apps and online resources. But since I only have a fundamental grasp on how to use online learning environments, I think virtual teaching is challenging. To learn how to use those apps, I'll thus need to attend webinars or seminars.
3. What insights you have gained in this unit?
I learned that there are pros and cons when it comes to the new online set up that we are facing today and as a student, I have learned to adapt to the change. We cannot control the circumstances that we are facing and adaptability in this part can be crucial for our learning experience.
1. Observe.
a. What common problems have I encountered in an online-learning environment?
The common problems that I have encountered are Ineffective Time Management, Lack of Instant Communication, Not Receiving Timely Feedback and Not Receiving Clear Instructions or Expectations.
2. Reflect.
a. How would you solve this problem?
I would solve this problem by giving intervention and proper coping strategies for the students.
3. Plan.
a. What initial plan do you intend to solve these problems?
The initial plan that I intend to solve is the Ineffective Time Management of the students.
4. Act.
The possible title of my action research on this episode is
Project TIME: Time Intervention Management towards Education
To further enrich my knowledge in establishing classroom routine and procedures, whether in remote virtual learning, these are some of the online resources which help me in these activities;
Trello is a flexible project management tool that you can use whether you're working with colleagues or by yourself. You can use this tool to create individual projects for chores related to your home, education, and job, and then group those projects' subtasks together. You might have a project for your household chores, child care requirements, homework, study objectives, work tasks, and money objectives, for instance. Then you may give each task a set of instructions.
Pomodairo. This app draws on the much-lauded Pomodoro technique, which encourages working in intensely efficient bursts of 25 minutes. You can track your productivity, allowing you to observe trends in distraction over time.
SelfControl. This simple app allows you to block anything that distracts you, such as email and social media, for a period of time you choose. The simple act of trying to navigate to a site and being thwarted may help you realize how often you divert your attention.
StayFocused. Rather than blocking social media altogether, this app lets you limit your time on distracting sites. That way you can get a break without losing all your study time.
AntiSocial. Think you’re a master of multitasking? Convinced you use your time more wisely than your friends? This clever app lets you compare your device use to that of others. It may stoke your competitive spirit, inspiring you to make better use of limited time.
These must be included in the portfolio:
ü Visit your alma mater or a school. Prepare a detailed report describing the face-to-face learning environment in terms of these three components:
Physical Environment
- Is the space inside the classroom more than enough for learners to move about?
- Does the room arrangement match with teaching-learning principles? Are there several room arrangements in the school?
- Are the visual displays attractive and do they stimulate learning?
- Are the school Premises safe and is the classroom space from hazards?
- Are learners comfortable in terms of light and ventilation?
Psychological Environment
- Are there set of rules and procedures followed? What are these?
- Are there set of expectations that can motivate the learners to learn?
- Are these observables in the classroom?
Ø Classroom atmosphere based on trust, cooperation and empathy
Ø Modelling of positive attitude, respectful behaviour, constructive actions
Ø Avoidance of ridicule, sarcasm, superiority in the classroom
Ø Opportunities for learners to share their experiences and learning with each other
Social Environment
- Are there opportunities for positive interaction inside the classroom?
