LB # 18: Roles and Functions of an Educational Media Center

Some of the Largest Universities in the Country have Educational Media Center where students can use in various ways. But, sad to say, these universities can only be afforded by those living with vast wealth.. But, it doesn't mean that it is impossible to have these kind of facility in our school.. any school can produce and create something like this, if they are just determined to do it... This is really very important in schools to improve not just the student's knowledge but their skills as well.....


LB # 17: Assessment in a Constructivist, Technology-Supported Learning

The best way in assessing is the use of Scoring Rubric which will determine the level of students' skills and knowledge.. This is a higher form of assessment which will differ from the usual tests that will just require the students' memory and the like.. It is also important to check their critical thinking capabilities in order that their mind will be enhanced..


LB # 16: Using the Project-based Learning Multimedia as a Teaching-Learning Strategy

This method is indeed very important in teaching, but, there are things that need to be considered first and these are the following: 
First is the clarity of the Objective, next is the time to be spent on the project, then the Resources to be utilized, and the Capability of the students or the appropriateness of the project regarding students Skills and their Decision making capacity.
   This is rarely seen in public schools due to some reasons like unavailability of the materials and so on... But, it is a need that this should be visible in the classrooms.. When I become a teacher, hopefully, I will be able to use this kind of method..

LB#15 PROJECT-based LEARNING and MULTIMEDIA

This is a teaching method that improves the creativity of the students which will help them excel in class. And it will serve as a motivation as well for they will acquire new knowledge and skills in designing, planning and producing multi-media products..And as the students engage in this method, it will be easier for them to understand the lesson by way of being creative and not just by merely using the materials..


LB # 14: Maximizing the Use of the Overhead Projector and the Chalkboard

Teaching is useless without the use of Overhead Projector and the Chalkboard. The students will automatically respond when the mentioned materials are being used in the classroom. For instance, when a teacher writes something on the board, the students will respond by copying the writings on the board that the teacher has written.. It is indeed very useful to use these two materials and to maximize their uses.. 
When I myself become a teacher in the near future, I would surely use these instructional materials in my class...
