Were the learning resources/ materials arranged properly according to their
functions and characteristics?

The classroom set up are arranged, clean and easy to access and
comfortable for students.
To learn effectively but sad to say that the computers are not enough.

Do the guidelines and procedures facilitate easy access to the materials by

the teachers? Why? Why not?

Yes because the learning resource center is intended for the students
and teachers.

What are the strengths of this Learning Resource Center?

The learning resource center is well-ventilated because it has an aircon

and lightings so that you can clearly see the text in books.

What are its weakness?

It has only a piece of computer unit were the librarian had the only
access.

What suggestions can you make?

I may say that the increase the number of computer unit so the
students can also use this in researching.
1. Which of the materials in the Learning Resource Center caught your
interest the most? Why?
 The widescreen television this is the only time I saw the
widescreen television in the learning resource center. Also
students and teachers use this in their film viewing

2. Which gadgets/ materials are you already confident to use/ operate?

 I am confident in using an android phone. Because I have my
own, it is easily for me to understand this gadget.

3. Which ones do you feel you need to learn more about?

 I need to learn more about the single lens of camera. Because I
don’t have a camera, I don’t know the functions of the buttons
there. And the other techniques that other photographers use
in taking pictures.
