Reflection on Non-Digital Instructional Materials

I have mentioned in my previous post on lesson planning (click here if you have not read it)

that in order to make a good lesson, specifically a non-boring lesson, we need to have instructional materials and the following instructional materials should support us in delivering our lesson objectives. 

What are these non-digital instructional materials?

According to google there are a lot of it but the top non-digital instructional materials commonly used in the classroom setup are as follows:

White board, chalk board, sticky notes, calculator, Drawings, Kits, Textbooks, Posters, Magazines, Flip chart, Newspapers, Diorama, Pictures and many more

Instructional materials are a great help in stimulating and aiding the learning of the learners. That is why it is very important to choose the right one and to maximise it.

During my demo, I used: Calculator, Textbox, posters, blackboard and 1 digital instructional material. I was able to used all my instructional materials but did you know that there is a proper way of using them? One example that I learned during my demo is that the posters should be posted in a systematic manner in such a way that the student will not get distracted. I also learned that the font size should be bigger so that the students ta the back can see the poster clearly. 

Those are some of my realisations while using my instructional materials. Thanks to ou dear instructor who criticised me during my lesson plan demo. 

As a future educator, I will make it a point to choose the right instructional materials for my students in order for them to learn more and i will consider my strategy in how to post them systematically.
