LB#6:  USING AND EVALUATING INSTRUCTIONAL MATERIALS

  Using and evaluating instructional materials are very important to us as a teacher. In the selection of instructional materials using the cone of experience we must consider a guidelines or criteria because not all instructional materials are helpful to children. Because some of instructional materials are harmful and  not good to use.   Some of the criteria that are use to name a few is that "be the materials contribute meaningful content to the topic under study? and "Is the material appropriate for the age, intelligence, and experience of the learners? yes we must consider answering this criteria before using such instructional materials. So that it we be an effective one. It is useless if the materials  does not fit with the content to the topic under  the level of the learners, their intelligence and experience.So, be sure that it will help the learners develop their knowledge not to be confuses to them. 

   In using the instructional materials we should evaluate them before presenting it to the learners. So in presenting, teacher must prepare and should exert effort in teaching them.

LB#5: THE CONE OF EXPERIENCE

 According to Edgar Dale, "The cone is a visual analogy and like all analogies, if does not bear an exact and detailed relationship to the complex elements it represent".So, a cone of experience is a visual model, a pictorial  device that presents bands of experience arranged according to degree of abstraction and not degree of difficulty. According also to  Edgar Dale that it is an effective tool to be use in classroom instruction more captivating and learning experiences more meaningful. Since students or pupils are visual learners then this cone will likewise be helpful and instrument to achieve school goals and objectives. Starting from the base we have direct purposeful experiences up to the pinnacle which is verbal symbols. It doesn't mean in the cone of experience that all teaching and learning must move systematically from base to pinnacle, from direct purposeful experiences to verbal symbol but we should continually shuttle back and forth among various kinds of experiences.

   In our teaching, we should not always gebin with direct experience at the base of the cone. Rather, we gin with the kind of experience that is most appropriate to the needs and abilities of particular learning situation.

LB#4: SYSTEMATIC APPROACH TO TEACHING

Systematized instruction is an organized method and procedure that follows correct flow of instruction to attain instructional objectives. The systems approach to instruction is simple in theory but far from being simplistic in practice. In this lesson, I earned that as a teacher, there are lot  of elements or factors to take into consideration like the students needs, interest, home background .Following a systematic approach to teaching is very effective if it is correctly implemented

  The purpose of a system instructional design is to ensure orderly relationships and interaction of human, technical and environmental resources to fulfill the goals which have been establish for instruction .

  LB#3: THE ROLES OF EDUCATIONAL TECHNOLOGY IN LEARNING

   In this lessin, I learned that  technology have many roles and it help us in understanding, having ideas and gain knowledge in technology as a tools to support knowledge construction. Technology plays a vital role in communicating students. Through this way the  learners are engage in active, cooperative, constructive learning. They will be interested in listening the discussion.

   From the constructivist point of view. educational technology serves as learning tools that learns with. It serves as presenter of knowledge just like teachers. So, the technology is a meaningful learning tool by serving as a learning partner.
