Teaching and learning has changed significantly from early generations to the 21st century. In the past, instruction relied mainly on books, pens/pencils, and libraries for research. Now, technology like computers, the internet, laptops, and digital materials are integrated into teaching and learning. Assessments also shifted from traditional paper/pencil tests to more authentic assessments that simulate real-world situations. Class activities now include performances like role plays, whereas in the past it was mainly quizzes and exams. Overall, modern teaching emphasizes collaboration, experiential learning, and use of technology to make learning more accessible and relevant to today's digital world.

Tests
Were the instructional materials categorized under educational technologies? How were they used effectively in
the teaching and learning process?
Yes! All instructional materials either old or new are categorized as educational technologies. The laptop the
skeletal system model and the projector are all educational technologies. The teacher used the projector to give off
the information so the students can easily read the information being projected while the skeletal system model is
useful to pin point the different types of bones and joints.
Describe the teaching practices employed in the class. How did it expand students’ acquisition of 21st
century
skills?
The teacher just fed the students the information by basically projecting the information through a projector
then explaining it deeply and concisely. It develops the communication and collaboration skills of learners which is a
skill needed to be called as 21st
century skills.

this modern world.
I will acquire the skills
that I need to develop by
studying and practicing
these skills through
experience and listening
to people who are good in
these two skills. Also it is
very important that I must
be open to absorb
knowledge and
information on how I will
develop these skills/
The easiest way that I could think of to
contribute to our world is the spread of
information about responsible use of modern
technology we are experiencing today like
the internet. I will give importance to the
educational use of technology to make
learning more easy and efficient for the

teacher/parent/relative that experienced learning in the early generations; and 2) interview your
classmate/friend/relative who belongs to a younger generation. Ask how was teaching and learning like during
their time in terms of teaching method, materials, technologies, assessments, and activities done in class. Share
