Teaching With Visual Symbols


       It is used by the teachers for their students inorder to have a better understanding. This is because visual symbols are more understood than words. In  single drawing or illustration, it may express many words. This will help the teacher to have a lively lesson and every lesson, the teaching will be crispy and fresh. Students will be more interactive during your lesson, thus having a life-long learning. Examples of visual symbols are the following:

  a. Drawings- it represents a Real thing. In drawing, your students can express themselves well.

  b.Cartoons- It would be best to, present a cartoon drawing in a class to engage learner in more enjoyable learning. It tells its story metaphorically. It will help to improve learner's ceative thinking for they will interpret what they've seen.
  c. Strip drawings- commonly called comics strip. Learner will find it more entertaining and enjoyable.
   d.Diagrams- Learners will understand better a topic if presents in diagram specially its relationship.
    e. Charts- is a diagrammatic representation of relationships among individuals within an organization.

                  *Bar graph
                  * Pictorial graph

The power of film, video, and tv in the classroom


       It is very necessary in the classroom to have a lively and interactive atmosphere. It will help the students to have a lifelong learning. It helps us know the happenings all around the globe. Using these technology in the classroom setting will enhance the learnings of the students.
  
      For me its really necessary because aside from it is enjoyable, students will be very interactive. As teachers, we must apply this in our teaching, students will not get bored and they will be very participative. They will always remember it and theyn would feel as if they are a part of the movie.

Making the Most of Community Resources and Field Trips

       The field trips can nurture curiosity; build a zest for new experience, and a sense of wonder. Having field trip will allow students to have more meaningful and a lifelong learning. It will make the learners understand completely if they come face to face with it. Aside from it is enjoyable it is educational as well.

       In order to have a successful field trip, it must be prepared thoroughly and well planned. It requires time for preparation for the part of the teachers and the students. They must be oriented on the objectives, route, behavior, or standards required everyone to make sure the field trip will carried out as planned and expected.

      Field trip has a disadvantages, too. Well you cannot have field trip if you don't have a money, right? Aside from it is costly, it is extravagant with time. Also it involves logistics, and contains elements of uncertainty.

       The following can be resources in the community in having a field trip:

   *Parents: Students' parents can be resource speaker for many of them have already experience in their field of expertise.

    *A Barangay Captain: He may be asked on what the barangay intends to do to curb the rampant alcoholism among the youth in the community.

    *Libraries: Student could do the researches in the library.

   Demonstration in Teaching

    Demonstration is showing how things are done and emphasizing pf the salient merits, utility efficiency of the concept, a method, or a process or an attitude. It is indeed necessary to have demonstration on teaching in order for the students to learn effectively. Students will understand more and will always remember the steps if given the steps are shown to them. Most probably, your learners will become more motivated and interested in your lesson. They won't get bored.

   

     In demonstrating, it is important to remember that, there should be an audience, a process of speaking, and a process of showing a method of how things are done. Demonstration not only focuses on showing how things are done, but they can be used in showing a product inorder to convince people to buy that certain product.

      Before engaging in a demonstration, we must be sure that we already planned ahead and that we are prepared in delivering in a demonstration. We must have a clear objective in mind in order for us to know where
we are heading. We must consider our learners, their type and other factors necessary for us to know the effective method to be used. Remember that we ought to teach our students the best, so we must do everything we can. Afterall students were learning from us.

           Teaching with Dramatized Experience

In our teaching, it is also necessary to be dramatic in giving our lesson to the students. This will help you to capture the interest of your learner, that they will not be bored but rather feel excited in going in to your class. It is said that it holds attention and has a great impact emotionally, which I believe is true. Being dramatic inside the helps the learner to understand better. Those what we taught them cannot be easily forgotten for it is as though they are part of it, for they participate in it...

     Contrived Experiences

   As i have learned in this lesson, in contrived experiences we make use of a representative models or mock ups of reality when it is not possible to bring in the classroom. It is very helpful specially to the students for them to understand better a certain thing. It is not enough telling the students what a certain object is like. It is better if they will see a model that would represent it in the best way.

    for instance, showing the student what a world is like. Of course it is very impossible for you to bring the world to the class. IN order for them to see what the world is like, you will bring a globe(representation of the world). You will let them discover different places, their distance to one another, their location, their geography and many others. Students would not find it difficult and they will learn more and it is exciting to them too. Ther are may other ways of making use of these contrived experiences.

      As future teacher, one must know the different contrived experiences to be able to use to students for better and effective learning process.
