Answer Sheet Generator

Periodic examination is the most popular way of assessing student's learning. Although active learning has been widely encouraged in both basic and higher education, educators and educational institutions still use examinations that focus on content (i.e. standardize tests, or multiple choice type)to measure students learning. The task of preparing a multiple choice tests proves to be a tough job for educators. That's why, designing an easy way to check these types of exam is one thing we should consider. In my classes, I usually use an answer sheet that will reduce the time of checking. I use the bubble test form.

Developing the Next Generation of Responsible Cybercitizens

Several years ago, I attended a seminar on Educational Technology in University of Sto. Tomas (sponsored by the eLearning Society). Part of the two-day seminar is a discussion on cyber ethics. Yesterday, I was trying to clean up my stuffs and came across the leaflet which was handed out to us by the PCMEC Manila. So I thought of sharing it to you. Note: This was a leaflet of PCMEC Manila and they own the rights to this material.

Geogebra Math Activities for your Classroom

Like what I mentioned in my previous post, I am advocating the use of technology in teaching although there's still too much to learn because I'm not yet an expert in choosing, designing and creating technology-based materials. So for now, I usually spend my time browsing webpages and web blogs looking for interesting sites that are useful to educators and students.

DOST Math and Science Modules

Few years ago, I came across a material from the Department of Science and Technology. It was shared to me by my classmate in the graduate school and I guess the content is pretty interesting and of great use to educators. It was downloaded from the DOST website.
