Instructional software	Website from where the instructional software is found	Function/Usability
Bacteria	livescience.com	Bacteria are microscopic single-celled organisms that thrive in diverse environments. They can live within soil, in the ocean and inside the human gut. Humans' relationship with bacteria is complex. Sometimes they lend a helping hand, by curdling milk into yogurt, or helping with our digestion. At other times they are destructive, causing diseases like pneumonia and MRSA.
What is Bacteria?	en.wikipedia.org	Bacteria (/bækˈtɪəriə/ (About this sound listen); common noun bacteria, singular bacterium) are a type of biological cell. They constitute a large domain of prokaryotic microorganisms. Typically a few micrometres in length, bacteria have a number of shapes, ranging from spheres to rods and spirals.

What are bacteria and what do they do?	medicalnewstoday.com	Bacteria are microscopic, single-celled organisms that exist in their millions, in every environment, both inside and outside other organisms.
Bacteria	britannica.com	Bacteria, singular bacterium, any of a group of microscopic single-celled organisms that live in enormous numbers in almost every environment on Earth, from deep-sea vents to deep below Earth’s surface to the digestive tracts of humans.
Introduction to the Bacteria	berkeley.edu	Bacteria are often maligned as the causes of human and animal disease (like this one, Leptospira, which causes serious disease in livestock). However, certain bacteria, the actinomycetes, produce antibiotics such as streptomycin and nocardicin; others live symbiotically in the guts of animals (including humans) or elsewhere in their bodies, or on the roots of certain plants, converting nitrogen into a usable form. Bacteria put the tang in yogurt and the sour in sourdough bread; bacteria help to break down dead organic matter; bacteria make up the base of the food web in many environments. Bacteria are of such immense importance because of their extreme flexibility, capacity for rapid growth and reproduction, and great age - the oldest fossils known, nearly 3.5 billion years old, are fossils of bacteria-like organisms.

Impact of ICT and Computers

Projected Impact of Computers to Education come 2020 – 2025 (indicate changes, technologies that will be introduced, etc.)

ü  ICTs motivate both teachers and students ü  ICTs can promote lifelong independent learning skills ü  ICTs outside of school affects learner confidence and behavior ü  ICTs make a positive difference in their learning ü  Acquisition of competencies such as critical thinking and collaboration are also considered a positive impact of ICT ü  Provides a vast amount of references and/or pieces of information essential to learning ü  Encouraged self-learning ü  Catered varying learning styles

ü  Some students will be more active to do their task because of the convenient of using computer having internet. ü  Computers will be made more convenient, easy to access, and easy to use ü  With computers in classrooms, teachers can present and demonstrate new material, provide illustrations and guide students to supplementary websites.  ü  Since computers are already so much a part of students' lives, using them in classrooms offers relevancy as a motivation for learning. ü  computers offer teachers flexibility in the classroom and allow students to participate more actively in learning and research.
