Education Technology: The Power of TV and Film

1. The Power Of Film, Video and TV in
the Classroom

2. Motivational Video

3. The Evolution of ITV
After years of experimentation, instructional
television came age in January 1961, when a
converted DC-6 airplane beamed programs to
half a million students in 10,000 classrooms
across six U.S states. Organized by the Midwest
Program on Airborne Television Instruction
(MPATI), this medium was heralded as way to
replace the classroom teacher, at least in certain
areas of study (Skolnik & Smith, 1993).

4. Advantages of Film, Video and TV in
the Classroom;
1. transmit a wide range of audio-visual
materials, including still pictures, film,
objects, specimens and drama.
2. bring models of excellence to the viewer.
3. bring the world to the home and to the classroom
through a “live” broadcast or as mediated through
film or videotape.
4. we are able to see life at the bottom of the sea
right there in our sala or bed room through
Discovery Channel, for example.

5. 5. make us see and hear for ourselves world
events as they happen. When the loud
explosion shocked Davao City on the evening of
September 3, 2016, the aftermath was shown live
on TV.
6. make some programs understandable and
appealing to wide variety of age and educational
levels. All benefit from the common experiences
that the TV transmits.
7. become a great equalizer of educational
opportunity because programs can be presented
over national and regional networks.
8. be the most believable news source.

6. 9. provide us with sounds and sights not easily
available even to the viewer of real event
through long shots, close ups, zoom shots,
magnificent and split screen made possible
by tv camera. Festivals such as Sinulog and
Ati-Atihan could be watch live at home with
the versatile camera.
10. can be both instructive and enjoyable-with
sights and sounds and motion, tv is much
more enjoyable.
11. can give opportunity to teachers to view
themselves while they teach for purposes
of self- improvement.

7. 12. it can be educational-programs like Hi-5,
Storybook, Batibot and channels like
Discovery Channel,History and Mega Structures.
13. we’re in the golden age of television. What
people are referring to when they say “the
golden age of television” is that television
creators are invested in producing shows with
interesting stories and characters. Acting on
television is no longer looked down on in
Hollywood and lots of big-name actors are signing
on to mini series and television shows. The
most recent example of this is Matthew
McConaughey and Woody Harrelson starring in
HBO’s mini series, “True Detective.”

8. Limitations of film,video and tv
1. Television and film are one-way
communication device. Consequently, they
encourage passivity. Today, however, we
talk about and work on interactive classrooms
for effective learning is an active process
and so the learner must be actively
engaged.
2. The small screen size puts TV as a
disadvantage when compared with possible
size of projected motion pictures, for
example.

9. Limitations of film,video and tv
3. Excessive tv viewing works against the
development of the child’s ability to
visualize and to be creative and imaginative,
skills that are needed in problem
solving.(http://www.publicschoolreview..com/

4. There is much violence in tv. This is the
irrefutable conclusion, “ viewing violence
increases violence”.

10. Basic Procedures in the use of TV
as a supplementary enrichment
1. Prepare the classroom
Darken the room. Remember that complete
darkness is not advisable for tv viewing.
The students should not be seated too near
nor too far from the tv. No students should be
farther from the set than the number of
feet that the picture represents in inches. A 24-
inch set means no student farther than
24 ft from the TV. (Dale, 1969)

11. 2. Pre-viewing Activities
Set goals and expectations. Why are you
viewing the TV? What is expected of your
students? State clearly.
Link the TV lesson with past lesson an/or with
your students’ experiences for integration and
relevance.
Set the rules while viewing. Will you allow them
to take down notes?
Put the film in context. Give a brief background,
if necessary.
Point out the key points they need to focus on.
It helps if you give them guide questions which
become the foci of discussion.

12. 3. Viewing
Don’t interrupt viewing by inserting cautions
and announcements you forgot to give during
the previewing stage. It disrupts and dampens
interest.
Just make sure sights and sounds are clear. You
were supposed to have checked on these when
you did your pre-viewing.
4. Post viewing
To make them feel at ease begin by asking the ff.
questions:
a. what do you like best in the film?
B. what part of the film makes you wonder?
doubt?
