THE POWER OF FILM,VIDEO AND TV IN THE CLASSROOM

• It combines both audio and visual. People can relate to it. Watching TV is effortless. When you listen to the radio, you still have to imagine visually what's going on. With TV, it's a complete package. It can bring you worlds you haven't been to in the comfort and safety of your seats or sofa or in the class. Come to think of it, it's even better watching the Story of ferry tyle on TV than being physically beside the ring because you get to see close-ups and slow-mo replays.
• Being this powerful, why not use this tool in teaching? It keeps the attention of the students and retention is better with audio-visual tools. Before viewing, give your students a set of objectives and expectations in watching the film. Link the film with your lesson. Set house rules to prevent interruptions during the viewing process.
• Through having this kind of technology in the classroom it can help both the teacher and the students in having the teaching learning process it is more effective concrete, colorful and having interaction with each other because it is a dual way process of communication. It could be helpful in many ways but in the other side it could be also a bane in which the people misuse and abuse this in using inside the classroom and even at home. The most significantly cited weakness of the TV is the effect of the TV violence on peoples aggressiveness behavior.  :)

 DEMONSTRATIONS IN TEACHING

"Good demonstration is good communication."  Like dramatized experiences, demonstration is also something like very handy. It may not need deeper elaboration as the other When we just done it properly. Demonstration is another way of teaching which shows how a thing is done emphasizing the salient merits, utility and efficiency of a concept, a method or a process or an attitude. These are some guiding principles we must observe in demonstrating; first, establish rapport, avoid the COIK fallacy( Clear only if Known) and watch for key points. To ensure that demonstration works,we ought to plan and prepare very well our goals, materials needed, the steps and rehearse. a good demonstration is an audio- visual presentation. It is not enough that we only talk, it must be accompanied by some visuals.     

                                                     

"Good demonstration is good communication." A good demonstration is an audio-visual presentation. It is not enough that the teacher talks. To be effective his/her demonstration must be accompanied by some visuals. to plan and prepare adequetly for a demonstration, we first determine our goals, the materials we need, our steps, and rehearse. In the actual conduct of the demonstration itself we see to it that we: 

•  get and sustain the interest or our audience; 
•  keep our demonstration simple, focused and clear;

Lesson # 9

Teaching with Dramatized experiences

Dramatized experience can range from the formal plays, pageants to less formal tableau,pantomime ,puppets and role playing.

• plays   it is depict life, character, or culture or a combination of all three. Pageants are usually community dramas that are based on local history, presented by local actors. Play and pantomime require much time for preparation and so cannot be part of everyday classroom program. While pantomime and tableaux compared to a play and a pageant are less demanding in terms of labor, time and preparation. These are purely visual experiences.
  •    Pantomime   is the art of conveying a story through bodily movements only.
  •  Its effect on the audience depends on the movements of the actors 
  • while tableau          is a french word which means picture it is a picture-like scene composed of people against a background. Dale claims 
  • that puppet   unlike the regular stage play, can present ideas with extreme simplicity without elaborate scenery or costume yet effectively. As  an instructional device the puppet show can involve the entire group of students as speakers of parts, manipulators of the figures and makers of the puppets.
                       There are types of puppet:
                     *Shadow puppets-   flat back silhouette made from lightweight cardboard and shown behind a screen
                    *Rod puppets- flat cut out figure tacked to a stick,with one or more movable parts, operated from below the stage level by wire rods or slender sticks
                   *Hand puppets- the puppet's head is operated by the forefinger of the puppeteer, the little finger and thumb being used to animate the puppet hands
                   *Glove and finger puppets- make use of old gloves to small costumed figure are attached
                    *Marionettes- flexible, jointed puppets operated by strings or wires attached to across bar and  maneuvered from directly above the stage
                  
   Another form of dramatized experience is role-playing. Role playing is an unrehearsed, unprepared and spontaneous dramatization of a let's pretend situation where assigned participants are absorbed by their own roles in the situation described by the teachers. It can be done by describing a situation which would create different viewpoints on an issue and then asking the students to play the roles of the individuals involved
