2. Teaching Materials
- instructional materials used in teaching
- tools used by teachers to
> help learners improve reading and other skills
> illustrate or reinforce a skill, fact, or idea, and
> relieve anxiety, fears, or boredom
Materials Generators
- A type of software support tool.
- Materials Generators help teachers produce
instructional materials.
3. Kinds of Materials Generators
A. Lesson Plan
B. Calendar
C. Rubrics
D. Quizzes

F. Activities/Worksheets
G. Others
4. Lesson Plan
- Lesson plan is an outline or a framework that
serves as a guide for educators as they teach.
- Lesson plan generators refers to software programs
that provides tools in creating lesson plans.
Disadvantages/
Advantages: Limitations:
> Saves time > Limites creativity of the
> Easier teacher
> Productive > Too much dependency
> Resource for new ideas > Different teaching styles
> Computer illiteracy
> Internet connections
6. Calendars
- used to schedule lessons, class activities, quizzes,
extra-curricular activities and the like.
- helps the teacher keep the class schedule organized.
- used to avoid conflicts in scheduled activites and
events.

8. Rubrics
- A rubric is an explicit set of criteria used for
assessing a particular type of work or performance.
- A rubric is a scoring guide that seeks to evaluate a
student's performance based on the sum of a full range
of criteria rather than a single numerical
score.
- It usually also includes levels of potential
achievement for each criterion, and sometimes also
includes work or performance samples that typify each of
those levels.
9. Rubrics
- Levels of achievement are often given numerical scores.
- A summary score for the work being assessed may be
produced by adding the scores for each criterion.
- The rubric may also include space for the judge to
reasons for each
describe the judgment or to make
suggestions for the author.
- Rubrics can be created for any content area including
math, science, history, writing, foreign languages, drama, art,
music, and even cooking! Once developed, they can be
modified easily for various grade levels.
10. Rubric Tools
- A rubric generator is an online or software-based
tool to quickly create rubrics.
- In some cases, the outline, structure, or template
is provided and the user simply enters the criteria.
- In other cases, the rubric is automatically created and
the user just makes modifications.
- First generation tools produce a rubric that one person
can use to judge one assignment, project, or set of
performances at a time.
11. Rubric Tools
- Second generation tools enable an author, or set of
authors, to create or collect a bank of criteria, choose a
subset of those criteria to judge each project, and then to
analyze data gathered cumulatively, criterion by criterion,
across projects.
- It’s easier to use rubrics to assess progress over many projects
or performances, even though each one requires a
different mix of criteria.
12. Advantages:
> Rubrics improve student performance by clearly showing
the student how their work will be evaluated and what is
expected.
> Rubrics help students become better judges of the quality of
their own work.
> Rubrics allow assessment to be more objective and
consistent.
> Rubrics force the teacher to clarify his/her criteria in specific
terms.
> Rubrics reduce the amount of time teachers spend
evaluating student work.
13. Advantages:
> Rubrics promote student awareness about the criteria to
use in assessing peer performance.
> Rubrics provide useful feedback to the teacher regarding
the effectiveness of the instruction.
> Rubrics provide students with more informative feedback
about their strengths and areas in need of improvement.
> Rubrics accommodate heterogeneous classes by offering a
range of quality levels.
> Rubrics are easy to use and easy to explain.
14. Disadvantages/Limitations:
> Development of rubrics can be complex and time-consuming
> Using the correct language to express performance
expectation can be difficult
> Defining the correct set of criteria to define performance can
be complex
> Rubrics might need to be continuously revised before it can
actually be usable in an easy fashion
15. Disadvantages/Limitations:
> Rubrics can also restrict the students mind power in that
they will feel that they need to complete the assignment
strictly to the rubric instead of taking the initiative to explore
their learning.
> If the criteria that is in the rubric is too complex, students
may feel overwhelmed with the assignment, and little
success may be imminent.
> For the teacher creating the rubric, they may find the task of
developing, testing, evaluating, and updating time
consuming.
17. Quiz
- An examination consisting of a few short questions
- It is used to examine someone's knowledge of something
- An informal test or examination of a student or
class
Quiz Tools
- Programs or software which assists teachers and professors in
creating different types of quizzes and tests for their
students
- These can be either pre-made or guides to help in
the creation of new tests
18. Quiz Tools
- Encompass the different quiz types
> Multiple Choice
> Fill in the blank
> Matching type
> Short answers
> True or False
- different versions entirely
Automatically generates
randomized along with master answer sheets
- Can be either online or saved and printed
19. Advantages:
> Saves valuable time
> Relieves the teacher of the hassle of formatting using a
normal word processor
> Tests can be saved and modified for future use
> Can be used to compile previous quizzes and format it into a
long exam
> Can be scored instantly
> Answer sheets can be made separately at the same time
20. Advantages:
> Some exams or tests can even be taken online
> It is easier to include different symbols or equations and
graphs
> One question can be generated with hundreds of variations,
all of which test the same concept

meeting up with the teacher.
> Faster relaying of information.
31. Other Kinds of Materials Generators
Disadvantages/Limitations:
> The importance of the face-to-face interaction of the
substitute teacher and the teacher should not be overlooked.
> The given plan needs to be very clear so as to avoid
misunderstandings on what the substitute teacher is to do.
> The need for an internet connection (sharing information).
