At the end of this activity, the FS student must be able to achieve the following intended learning outcomes:
1. identify practical and feasible classroom routines and procedures in a remote learning.

A virtual learning environment is entirely different from an actual classroom learning environment. The total change
experienced by both the teacher and the learner in today’s school setting is somehow beyond imagination because it was
unexpected. The learning environment is another important aspect aside from the curriculum in the complete learning
package of students. This activity expose you to anther learning experience, which enables you to make your virtual learning
environment safe and conducive.

Questions:

1. What classroom routines and procedures did you observe in remote learning and how could you
apply it to promote essential learning to minimize the gap experienced by the learner due to the
pandemic?
The following are the classroom routines that I observed in remote learning and that I could use
in minimizing the gap experienced by the learner due to the pandemic:

1. Utilizing used of white board to step-by-step discussion of solution. During the

observation it is very clear that they can connect and knows to simplex to complex
discussion. Also asking the students if they understand every step.
2. Utilizing mathematical software to stimulate students’ interest. I will urge
students who are having difficulty absorbing content to use adaptive learning
technology. This allows me to boost students' engagement, motivation, and
encourage initiative in their own learning pace.
3. Praise and acknowledge pupils' ideas while providing immediate feedback.
With this new instructional resource, students under this paradigm are prone to
becoming disinterested and unmotivated. As a result, it is vital to acknowledge and
respect and praise every student’s response it is also for the students not be afraid
to commit mistakes. And provide immediate feedback if their answer is wrong.
4. Provide copy of the lesson and recording it. This allows students to go back over
the conversations on the subjects that they are having trouble grasping.
Furthermore, there are lots of students who encountered problem in unstable
internet connection and power interruption. They could watch it over and over until
they got it right.

2. Did the teacher remind the learners on the online etiquette? What responses were generated
from the learners?

Ma'am Manuel did not remind the learners about online etiquette in the recorded
video we requested, but she did inform them to open their cameras. During our
interview, Ma'am Manuel stated that during their first meeting, she reminded her
students about the online etiquette they should follow during the online session.
Ma'am Manuel mentioned the (1) dress code—always wear uniform or white t-shirt;
(2) listen carefully; and (3) have their camera open at all times.

3. Is there a delightful & great effect to the learners if the teacher creates a safe and conducive
learning environment during online class? Prove your answer by citing situations and
evidence.

Yes, there is a pleasurable and significant impact on the learners if the teacher
creates a safe and conducive learning environment. According to Robert Brooks,
instructors have a profound and long-lasting impact on all of their students. This
impact includes not just the teaching of specific academic abilities, but also, and
perhaps more crucially, the development of student self-esteem. Self-esteem
reinforcement in the classroom has been linked to enhanced motivation and
learning. As a result, creating a welcoming and suitable learning atmosphere
may facilitate teaching and learning. Giving positive feedback and making
students feel at ease during class discussions, for example, could contribute to
this favorable and safe learning environment. Students are more driven to keep
going and learning as a result of these. Despite the distance caused by the
pandemic, this example is extremely useful.

• As a would be millennial teacher, how can you make the environment safe and conducive to
learners?

As a future educator, I plan to use all of the successful classroom management tactics
to create a conducive learning environment, such as establishing a safe, secure, fair,
and supportive atmosphere to eradicate the threatening climate that exists in most
classrooms. In addition, I will present structured activities drawn from a variety of
sources to pique and enhance kids' interest in learning and involvement.
Furthermore, as a teacher, I must understand their circumstances, strengths and
weaknesses, preferences, and other factors in order to better design the classroom
management that I must execute.
