Lesson 18: Roles and Functions of an Education Media Center


                          In this lesson the Educational Media Center is a unit indispensable to the teacher-training programs of the College. It provides the following services to the faculty, staff and students of the College: audio and/or video media materials recording services, production services, basic repair services, and consultant service on effective media utilization. To do its job, the Center has a collection of audio-visual facilities including cassette tape recorders, slide/tape recorders and projectors, film and film strip projectors, overhead and opaque projectors, video camera and other production hardware and equipment. For the most part, the Center serves as a laboratory for undergraduate and graduate students enrolled in Educational Technology courses.

Lesson 17: Assessment in a Constructivist Technology Supported Learning

          In this lesson constructivists view assessment as a process that involves both the instructor and the student. Educators who prefer to use constructivist methods and principles in evaluating student work have several different avenues to choose from that can help enhance the learning experience of students. Similarities between constructivist and traditional methods of assessment do exist. Even though constructivists continue to research and experiment with more interactive, experience based assessments, the more traditional methods still prevail and are being used in classrooms as the predominant means of assessment.

Lesson 16: Using the Project Based Learning Multimedia as a Teaching-Learning Strategy

           In this lesson that this is a powerful motivator of the learners.It makes teachers look for and apply the methods that optimize learning effect. It makes teachers structurize the form of material. In lesson 15 it says that it will make the student think so it could be used a strategy to teachers. Because if the student think it will inject or retain to their memory. Because they give a time and effort to think about a solutions to the problem. As teacher's teach learner's learned through this.

Lesson 15: Project Based Multimedia and Learning: What it is ?

        In this lesson i've learned that the project based learning method is a comprehensive approach to instruction. Your students participate in projects and practice an interdisciplinary array of skills from math, language arts, fine arts, geography, science, and technology. Project-based multimedia learning is a method of teaching in which students acquire new knowledge and skills in the course of designing, planning, and producing a multimedia product. Many present day activities focus on developing linguistic competence for example, the ability to use lexics, grammar and phonetics of the language. They also develop the pragmatic abilities of the learners to use the language for real-life communication. The activity of project-based multimedia learning stimulates through process in learners by forcing them to think and make decision.

Lesson 14: Maximizing the use of the Overhead Projector and the Chalkboard

     In this lesson i've learned more how to use the chalkboard and make my writings legible to my learners. I learned that i need to sharpen the chalk that i'm using. Make my writings 3 to 4 inches for legibility. Used colored chalk for highlights. But for me, i'd rather used the overhead projector (OHP). Because I dont need to adjust my penmanship and the fonts because its already readable and all students could read or see even though who are in the back. But if I cant afford to buy an overhead projector (OHP), I could still used the chalkboard that already provided by the government.

Lesson 13: Teaching with Visual Symbols

                          Teaching with visual synthesis is like a summarizing your lesson or entertaining your learners. Cartoons, drawings or comic strip will served as your visual aid when your telling a story on your learners. Graphs and diagrams is useful when you want to summarize your lesson. Maps is useful too because it helps them to find a place by using this. They could also learn which place a rich in products and they could also locate the continent or the equator. This is useful and an effective visual symbols in teaching.

Lesson 12: The Power of Film, Video, and TV in the classroom

               Most of teacher's know what is the used of film, video and TV in the classroom. But some of teachers used it as their substitute. They used it, for them to have time gossiping or relaxing. They just let their learner's watch the film without their guidance. But it is a big help for teachers to enhanced or improved the senses of the learners in learning. But teachers must set a rule in using it. Because there is a possibility that learners could watch some movie that rated SPG. So teachers must guide their learners correctly.

Lesson 11: Making the Most Community Resources and Field Trips

       One of the best learning strategy is exposing your learner's in outside world like doing a field trips. Because they could explore more when they exposed and they could also relax in listening a monotonous teacher. Field trips are the only communication that school and community has. And the learners could appreciate the different cultures of Filipinos. But first of all safety precautionary for learner's is the most important. Though it's helpful but it is risky for those learner who are not behaved. But children's could find enjoyment in field trips.

Lesson 10: Demonstrations in Teaching

                    Well, we all know that when teaching, demonstrations is a must. It is a big help for our learners to have a demonstrations every lesson we discuss. It could be your plan b if you don't forgot to bring any instructional materials. It is a big help especially during experimentation and etc. that really needs a demonstrations. It is a big opportunity to express your ideas when you find difficulty in explaining. It could also retain on their memory because they used their eyes watching you demonstrating.

Lesson 9: Teaching with Dramatized Experiences

         In this lesson it tells us that you can teach through dramatization. For your learner's won't find it dull in your class, especially if your a kind of a teacher that conversational. But if you would teach through dramatization they would feel excitement, enthusiasm and enjoyment because your teaching with an action. Especially when your subject matter is all about telling stories. The children will enjoy because your not only talking but also your presenting some puppets while telling them a story. That according to Maria Montessori learned to teach using a multi sensory. This is useful in teaching especially when your teaching on kids.

Lesson 8: Teaching with Contrived Experiences

   In this lesson I've learned that with the help of these contrived experiences it will help or give some strategy in teaching. This could be a substitute in letting our pupils/students imagine on things because with the help of this contrived experiences, it would be easy to our learners to understand and conclude. This is also stated one of the principles in learning. That learners learn a lot especially if they experienced it. Contrived experiences is really a big help.

Lesson 7: Direct Purposeful Experiences and Beyond

 In this lesson,  it taught us how to used instructions effectively. That we learn all by our self, through our experiences. These are our concrete and firsthand experiences that make up foundation of our learning. In learning other people like what we see or hear on them are not firsthand experienced but rather vicarious experiences. Learning by ourselves is a richest learning's of all. Maybe its good for us to learn at others but it is nice to learn through your experiences.

Lesson 6: Using and Evaluating Instructional Materials

 Being a teacher in the future, we must evaluate our materials or used a materials that looks attractive to our learners for us to capture their attention and they are willing to listen our discussion. Using and evaluating instructional materials are highly recommended for us education students. For us know how to be ready at all times for us not to experience the R.O.G. syndrome or run out of gas syndrome. Because some teachers nowadays experienced that and waste the time talking in not important things or not related to lesson. This lesson tells us or taught some strategy, for us not to experience what other teachers experience.
