2. Recommendations for Using
Instructional Technology
1. Prepare the students for what they are going
to see, hear, or do.
2. Arrange conditions to show special materials
under the best possible conditions so they do
not interrupt the momentum of the lesson.
3. Operate the equipment efficiently.
4. Summarize the experience or follow up with
discussion.

3. Steps by Charles Schuller
1. Define your objectives
2. Know the content
3. Guide learners on what to look for
4. Evaluate the results

4. Chalkboard and Display Board
Chalkboard
the oldest and most traditional piece of
equipment found in the classroom.
Considered to be so omnipresent that
many of us fail to think of it as an
audiovisual aid at all; yet most teachers
would be hard put if they had no
chalkboards available (Eduucators)

5. Chalkboard
 allows for spontaneity, speed, and change;
Can fit the tempo of any lesson in ay subject;
Can be used for displaying pictures and
important clippings; drawing sketches, etc.;
and
Valuable for emphasizing the major points of
a lesson and working out problems for the
whole class to see

6. Display Board
• Used for:
 Displaying student projects and progress;
Displaying current items of interest related
to a lesson unit;
 Posting announcements, memos, and
routine assignments; and
 Decorating the room

7. Types of Display Board
Bulletin board
Pegboard
 Flannel board
 Magnetic board

8. Guidelines for Using
the Chalkboard

9. 1. Write legibly and large enough for all to see.
2. Use the chalkboard as if you were writing on
paper.
3. While writing, stand to one side of the board
as much as possible so you can maintain eye
contact with students
4. Stand to the side so you don’t block the
students’ view
5. Don’t talk toward the chalkboard while
writing on it.

10. 6. If the chalkboard is limited, draw a line down
the middle of the board, thus creating a
margin and two smaller boards.
7. Organize your chalkboard work ahead of
time.
8. Don’t clutter the board.
9. If you must abbreviate, use standard forms.
10. Utilize colored chalk, rulers, string, stencils,
and other materials to make your illustrations
more effective.

11. 11. Don’t get embarrassed or show resentment
if you make a mistake and a student corrects
you.
12. If you are working with young or low-
achieving students, write in complete
sentences.
13. Establish routine uses for the chalkboard.
14. Erase the chalkboards completely after you
finish, and keep them clean.
15. Don’t overuse the chalkboard.

12. Films, Filmstrips,
and Filmslides

13. Films
• The most influential and seductive
educational medium for transmitting
ideas and persuading an audience to a
point of view.
• Both interest and motivate students
• Useful for showing processes in which
motion is involved or in which slow
motion can be used.

14. Categories of Films
1. Historical
2. Dramatic
3. Special topic
4. Slice of Life
5. Animated

15. Filmstrips
• A series of pictures in a fixed sequence on a
strip of 35mm film for still projection
• Are compact, easy to store, relatively
inexpensive to buy, easy to project, and
somewhat flexible in use
• Explanatory symbols or captions are often
incorporated
• Filmstrips with recorded sound narrations,
called sound filmstrips, are produced.

16. Filmslides
• Are individual pieces of film for
projection, mounted on thin cardboard
or plastic frames, usually 2-inch squares.
• Are more flexible than filmstrips, since
unnecessary slides can be omitted.
• Slide sets are accompanied by audiotape
narrations.

17. Guidelines for Using
Films, Filmstrips,
and Filmslides

18. 1. Keep the film lists up to date.
2. When ordering from sources outside the
school, be sure to order well in advance of
the screening date.
3. Preview the film.
4. Arrange to have the projector and screen or
video equipment in the classroom.
5. Be sure all students can see the screen.
6. Prepare the students for the presentation.

19. 7. Note-taking is difficult in a darkened room
and should not be expected or encouraged
while the projector is running.
8. Use the equipment properly.
9. View a film without interruption, if possible.
10. If commentary is needed during the movie,
either stop the projector or reduce the
volume, but do this as little as possible.

20. 11. Call on volunteers to read if there are
captions in the filmstrips.
12. Allow time for discussion after the film.
13. Be sure to put the film back properly into its
container.
14. Disconnect all wires.

21. Overhead Projector
• projects images of transparencies on a screen,
wall, or chalkboard.
• is lightweight and portable.
• has become the standard equipment in many
classrooms and has replaced the chalkboard
and opaque projector in many other
functions.

22. Guidelines for using
Overhead Projectors

23. 1. Keep the materials up to date.
2. Arrange ahead of time to have a projector
and other necessary materials available when
you need them.
3. Preview the materials or prepare them before
class begins.
4. Handle overhead projector with care.
5. Label materials properly for filing and
reshowing.

24. 6. Be sure the materials are appropriate for the
students’ interests and maturity level.
7. Be sure all students can see the surface on
which the material is projected.
8. Arrange the materials in sequence with the
lesson.
9. Explain and discuss each of the projected
materials.
10. Shut off the machine when it is not in use
during discussions.

25. Television

26. Television
• has become a second school system.
• is viewed to be the “first curriculum”
including other mass media because they
appear to be affecting the way children
develop learning skills and acquire knowledge
and understanding.

27. • Data suggest that for upper elementary and
secondary school students, watching
television more than a day is associated with
lowered achievement in reading and
mathematics.
• Because of television’s impact on
acculturation and socialization of children
and youth and its influence on all society,
educators cannot ignore this medium.

28. Types of Television
1. Educational television
Refers to programs produced for broadcast
on commercial or public television
stations that are intended to inform and
develop understanding.

29. Types of Television
2. Instructional television
refers to programs produced by schools to
teach specific skills and subject matter and
for viewing in school.

30. • Television has the potential for adding
student’s knowledge.
• Students can learn about current events and
scientific advances, be exposed to dramatic
and musical performances, become better
acquainted with leading figures in the world of
arts, science, politics, etc.

31. Guidelines for Using
Television

32. • “Technology is just a tool. In terms of
getting the kids working together and
motivating them, the teacher is most
important.”
- Bill Gates

33. “Good teaching involves the
use of different kinds of
audiovisual aids.”
