The appeal of visual media continues to make film, video and television as educational tools with high potential impact. They are now more accessible and less cumbersome to use.
The film, the video and the tv are indeed very powerful. Dale (1969) says, they can: 1. transmit a wide range of audio visual materials 2. bring models of excellence to the viewer 3. bring the world of reality to the home and to the classroom through a live broadcast or as mediated through film or videotape 4. make us see and hear for ourselves world events as they happen 5. be the most believable news source
6. make some programs understandable and appealing to a wide variety of age and educational levels 7. become a great equalizer of educational opportunity because programs can be presented over national and regional networks
8. provide us with sounds and sights not easily available even to the viewer of a real event
9. can give opportunity to teachers to view themselves while they teach for purposes of self-improvement
10. can be both instructive and enjoyable
While the film, video and tv can do so much, they have their own limitations too. Television and film are one way communication device consequently, they encourage passivity.
The small screen size puts television at a disadvantage when compared with the possible size of projected motion pictures.
Excessive tv viewing works against the development of the childs ability to visualize and to be creative and imaginative skills that are needed in problem solving. There is much violence in tv.
Basic Procedures in the Use of TV as a Supplementary Enrichment For enrichment of the lesson with the use of tv, we have to do the following: Prepare the classroom. Pre-viewing Activities Viewing Post-viewing
Go to the questions you raised at the previewing stage. Tackle questions raised by students at the initial stage of the post-viewing discussion. Ask what the students learned. Summarize what was learned.
