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.  :)
