LB #12 The Power of Films, Video and TV in the Classroom

Watching television or watching video is a common entertainment for the people of today. But, maybe sometimes, we just can't notice that they are educational in many ways. For instance when we are watching news in television which keeps us updated in the happenings in our country. And watching films has it's advantages as well; it can help improve our communication skill especially in using the English language. Above all, viewing movies in the class is very useful in helping the students learn the lessons easily. It can also make them to be interested in the subject because watching a movie is also entertaining. 
  But, the teacher should always have a reason in letting his/her student watch a film or movie, it should be related  in his or her lessons.

LB #11 Making The Most of Community Resources and Field Trips

Field trip is best applicable if you want your learner to be exposed on real things or movements that is found on your lesson that you want to clarify with them for them to experience it themselves.
 Having field trips must undergo a process of planning to avoid some disturbances, and they are as follows:

• know the place your going to go and have a map for your guide.
• There should be a tour guide who will introduce upon arriving at the place.
• Be on time
• Students have the opportunity to obtain answer to their questions.

"What I hear, I forget, What I see, I remember", field trips are opportunities for rich and memorable experiences which are fundamentals to learning last. It enables the students to learn beyond what is written and found in their books. It serves as an application on what they've read and hear from their teacher. It brings some realization to the learners tht may lead to changing their attitudes, insight and perspective.

Disadvantages: 

1. It is costly
2. It involves logistics
3. Extravagant with time
4. Contains an element of uncertainty

If I'm going to have a field trip, I should plan it ahead of time so that I can inquire and negotiate our transportation with a discount. I'll propose a plan that serves as an overview of what will be going on if my students will join. As a teacher, I should think also if the trip is really needed and applicable on the subject matter.

Having divshare account is very advantageous especially for the students because it can be used as an online storage device and it can also be used in downloading files namely; photos, videos, word documents, music and a lot more...It has a capacity to store up to 5 GB which is very convenient to use.

LB# 10 Demonstrations in Teaching

Demonstrations are very useful in teaching because it's what makes the student interested in knowing the lesson more. It is what a teacher does when she/he is showing the student how a particular thing or work is done. There are guiding principles that must be observed in using demonstrations by Edgar Dale and they are as follows: First, establish rapport; this is when a teacher makes the students at ease and stimulate their interest so that their focus will be on the teacher only. Second is avoiding the COIK fallacy (Clear Only If Known). This means that the teacher should always assume that the students know nothing about the subject. And the last one is Watching for Key points. This is where the learners face the stumbling blocks or the things that gives them difficulty to understand and it's where the teacher highlights a particular point and make it clearer for the students to understand.

LB# 9 Teaching With Dramatized Experience

A teacher must find ways in presenting her/his lesson effectively, a presentation that will prevent the class from boredom and will catch the learners attention. By dramatization, the above mentioned will be attained if we are an effective user of it. Of course by having our lesson dramatized, we make sure that, the materials we present are suitable for the learner and will make the subject more clearer. The learner gets attracted on the lesson once it is being presented on a correct manner and they will get involved on it. Involving our learner on the lesson we have will somewhat give an impact on their lives.

A teacher must be equipped with different styles on how she/he presents the lesson. A teacher should use an instructional device like puppet to make the lesson an enjoyable one. Dramatizing the lesson enables the learner to understand easily and it makes the lesson interesting that will surely motivate the student and will make them more attentive and participative in the class. 

LB #8

      Being describe as edited copies of reality,this edited in which a real thing that is impossible to bring in a discussion like "solar system" is being represented by a design or a model.
      Using this model is called contrived experience this will helps the learners understood the discussion if the instructor presented it well.
      One way to become an effective user of this teaching is that when you make your models ,you should make it like as the real thing.

LB #7

        As I go over reading on this chapter,It is clearly stated that learning happens within ourselves that we need direct experience in order that learning can be achieved easily. And aiming to learn,we must first set our objectives why such things need to be engage in.Direct experience is purposeful,it will not just satisfy our curiosity on things we don't know  but it will bring us to our higher thinking skills in which we could ask ourselves how it happened and we can give some criticism regarding on some topics.I t is purposeful in a sense that you yourselves learn on it and that learning became a part of ones life.
        As soon to be teacher,I should give time to my students to discover something on their own like letting them      make an observations. I should not deliver my lesson by "spoon-feeding".Students are capable of learning on their own....
