CONCLUSION

CONCLUSION

• This types of learning materials are important because they will help us to be successful in the future. Technology is also one of the important aspects of learning materials that can help us with our work, and can also summarize the work or the chapter that has been given to us. this different types of learning materials can make our work very easily for both learners and teachers

• Materials include textbooks, video and audio tapes, computer software, and visual aids. They influence the content and the procedures of learning. The choice of deductive vs inductive learning, the role of memorization, the use of creativity and problem solving, production vs. reception, and the order in which materials are presented are all influenced by the materials.

THE IMPORTANTS OF TEACHING SUPPORT AND MATERIALS

THE IMPORTANT OF TEACHING SUPPORT MATERIALS

Teaching materials assist in and support student learning.

"Teaching materials" is a generic term used to describe the resources teachers use to deliver instruction. Teaching materials can support student learning and increase student success. Ideally, the teaching materials will be tailored to the content in which they're being used, to the students in whose class they are being used, and the teacher. Teaching materials come in many shapes and sizes, but they all have in common the ability to support student learning.

1. Examples

   • Teaching materials can refer to a number of teacher resources; however, the term usually refers to concrete examples, such as worksheets or learning tools or games that students can handle to help them gain and practice facility with new knowledge e.g. counting blocks. Teaching materials are different from teaching "resources," the latter including more theoretical and intangible elements, such as essays or support from other educators, or places to find teaching materials.

   Student Learning Support

   • Learning materials are important because they can significantly increase student achievement by supporting student learning. For example, a worksheet may provide a student with important opportunities to practice a new skill gained in class. This process aids in the learning process by allowing the student to explore the knowledge independently as well as providing repetition. Learning materials, regardless of what kind, all have some function in student learning.

   Lesson Structure

   • Learning materials can also add important structure to lesson planning and the delivery of instruction. Particularly in lower grades, learning materials act as a guide for both the teacher and student. They can provide a valuable routine. For instance, if you are a language arts teacher and you teach new vocabulary words every Tuesday, knowing that you have a vocabulary game to provide the students with practice regarding the new words will both take pressure off of you and provide important practice (and fun) for your students.

   Differentiation of Instruction

   • In addition to supporting learning more generally, learning materials can assist teachers in an important professional duty: the differentiation of instruction. Differentiation of instruction is the tailoring of lessons and instruction to the different learning styles and capacities within your classroom. Learning materials such as worksheets, group activity instructions, games, or homework assignments all allow you to modify assignments to best activate each individual student's learning style.

   Acquiring Teaching Materials

   • Getting your hands on valuable teaching materials is not nearly as difficult as it can seem at first. The Internet has many resources for teachers, most of them free, that can significantly increase the contents of your teaching toolbox. You can also make your own materials. Every learning material you develop will be an asset to you when you next teach a similar unit. An investment of time or money in good teaching materials is an investment in good teaching.

TEXTBOOKS

TEXTBOOKS

• Technology has improved better and we are able to access textbooks on the net and the internet allows you to select a chapter and the page number you want.

•  Textbooks help us to refer on the work that the teachers has summarized, because most of the time teachers do not teach the whole chapter so some of the things we have to do self study.

• The internet also helps summarize the textbook for us by giving us the relevant and useful information about the chapter you reading. 
• Most of the time learners when we have to study for tests and exams we get many chapters that we have to study and some of the information is not relevant so technology is the to help us with things like this.

Use of technology

Technology has become the most reliable resource in our daily lives.

Technology in LTSM

*  Learners will be able to share work amongst themselves

*  Learners can search for information using their computers,phones etc

*  They can use them as their textbooks to avoid carrying hardcopy textbooks

The each one teach one strategy

The each one teach one strategy will influence all learners to work in group and also help one another e.g a certain learner in a mathematics class will focus on the section that deals with trignometry whereas others will share other parts.
By doing so the lecture will give all learners to express themselves freely in class and participate in all activities.So basically the each one teach one strategy will make all learners to be able to understand equally and have the opportunity to ask one another whenever the lecture is not around.

Advantages of the strategy
* Learners will be able to express themselves if they do not understand

* The pass rate will increase

*Learners will take part in all the activities in class

*The curriculum will be finished in time.

*The teacher will have more time to assess each and every learner in class

Overhead Projector

.

What is an overhead Projector?

An overhead projector typically consists of a large box containing a very bright lamp and a fan to cool it. On top of the box is a large fresnel lens that collimates the light. Above the box, typically on a long arm, is a mirror and lens that focusses and redirects the light forward instead of up.

Use in education

* The overhead projector is an easy low-cost interactive environment for educators.

* Teaching materials can be pre-printed on plastic sheets, then the educator can directly write using a non-permanent, washable color marking pen.

* This saves time, since the transparency can be pre-printed and used repeatedly, rather than having materials written manually before each class.

* The enlarging features of the projector allow the educator to write in a comfortable small script in a natural writing position rather than writing on an overly large chalkboard and having to constantly hold his arm out in midair to write on the blackboard.

* When the transparency sheet is full of written or drawn material, it can simply be replaced with a new, fresh sheet with more pre-printed material, again saving class time vs a blackboard that would need to be erased and teaching materials rewritten by the educator.

* Following the class period, the transparencies are easily restored to their original unused state by washing off with soap and water.

* To summarise the textbooks.

Introduction

LTSM

Learning support materials are an important part of curriculum development and a means of promoting both good teaching and learning. Although learning support material cannot replace an educator, successful learning depend to a great extent on the educator's ability to identify the relevant resources, then design, adapt or use them to produce effective learning support materials.

Learning support material are a means whereby resources are accessed for the purpose of learning. In Outcomes Based Education and Training (OBET), learning support material facilitates the process and encompasses more than just text-books. 

It must be noted that development of learning support material is not the exclusive preserve of publishing houses or educators. There is a variety of sources of design and production which will be discussed later.
