The focus of the work is on how a teacher can make use of different wikibooks materials to teach in a classroom however below is information on how one can make use of instructional guides as a material.
Instructional guides are clear descriptions, illustration and explanations one gives out and in a classroom it is vital for a teacher to make use of instructional guides that leaners understand better taking into consideration that learners are different and they all digest instruction given differently. This will also avoid many misunderstandings. A teacher can follow the following steps as instructional guides in a classroom: 1. A teacher should use clear and precise language learners understand 2. They should repeat the question (s) and explain the purpose of the task 3. Provide examples related to the task at hand by describing specifics 4. Break task into manageable chunks Instructional guide’s examples can be a teacher giving out an audio playing for leaners to listen and answer questions based on it. A Geography teacher can make use of an explainer video in a lesson whereby learners will see on river processes for example are formed instead of just reading in textbooks. A teacher can also make use of pictures/photos and maps from a WIKIBOOK (textbook) for demonstrations purposes.(Pappas,2013) e-learningindustry.com>how-to -wiki-in-the-classroom/
A textbook is a book containing a comprehensive compilation of content in a branch of study with the intention of explaining it. Textbooks are produced to meet the needs of educators, usually at educational institutions.
Annotated texts
A copy of a published original primary source text or other established narrative, academic or literary media, available under a Wikibooks-compatible license. Various kinds of study aids for understanding or teaching the text. These annotations may include introductions, explanatory notes, summaries, translations, questions and answers, charts, lists, indices, references, wikilinks, media, etc. In an annotated text the annotations are interwoven with the primary source text in order to make the book more reader-friendly. The goal of an annotated text is to facilitate reading and comprehension of the source media, especially in a classroom environment in preparation for formal examinations, or even for private study (for instance, the classic Cliff's Notes on Shakespeare are meant to help students prepare for examinations on literature that they read at home.) Because annotated texts are a kind of educational material it has been declared as Wikibooks policy to include them. This is despite the fact that most primary source texts normally belong at Wikisource.
The teacher manual seeks to inspire teachers to become inclusive practitioners. It is a practical guide to help promote inclusive education at the school, classroom and individual levels. The manual provides school leaders and teachers with a collection of activities that can be directly implemented. The hope is that the examples and resources provided in this manual will spark the ideas of teachers and school leaders to develop further activities and share them with colleagues and with other schools. The manual does not tell teachers to apply specific methods, but gives examples and shows how and why teachers can apply these examples in their classes.
The teacher manual is not a final product, rather rather it is the beginning of a well- organised a well-organised collection of good practice examples. Hopefully it will grow through the years and include good practice examples and great ideas from schools across the region. The manual can be used by any school, although it was initially published to be used by schools who are part of the growing UNICEF network of inclusive schools. These schools absorbed the Train-the-Trainer Modules on Inclusive Education developed by UNICEF. IUM
