These direct experiences must not be the period or the end.We must be brought to a higher plane referred to here is the level of generalization and abstraction. Direct experience leads us to concept formation and abstraction. We should not end our lesson knowing only the concrete. We go beyond the concrete by watching the level of abstract concepts

            It is one thing to select a good instructional material; it is another thing to use it well to ensure effective use of instructional material, Hyden Smith & Thomas Nagel, Advice us to abide by the acronym PPPF.

            Prepare yourself. We should know our lesson objective and what you expect from the Dane after the session and why you have selected such particular instructional materials you have a plan on how you will proceed, what questions to ask, how you will evaluate learning & how you will tie loose end before the bells rings.

            Prepare your students set class expectation and learning goals we should motivate the students so that these interest in listening will be arouse. Give them a guide questions to be able to answer during the discussion.

            Present the materials under the best possible conditions before discussing we should prepare first the materials so that your presentation will be successful.

            Follow up we should remember that we use instructional materials to achieve and objective not to kill time but we use the instructional material for the attainment of a lesson objective. To know if the objective was attained or not use should

LB#5 The cone of Experience

       

            The cone of experience is a visual model a pictorial device and not degree that presents bands of experience arranged according to degree of difficulty. The experiences arranged in the cone of experience begins from the bottom to upward.

            The first experience in the ban of cone is the direct purposeful experiences which serve as the foundation of our learning. We build up our reservoir of meaningful information and idea through the five senses, then the second is contrive experience in here, we can make use of representative models for practical reasons and so that we can make the real life accessible to the leavers understanding for example when you study the each so we have to use the picture dramatized experience in which by dramatization we can participate in a reconstructed experiences, even through the original event is far removed from us in time. The fourth one is demonstration, it is a visualized explanation of an important fact , idea or process by the use of photography, drawing films guided motions displays it shows how things are done another is study trips, these visits conducted to observe and event that is available with the classroom,  though study tripe we can also see the things that are not available on the classroom these are displays to be seen by spectators, then television no effectively that we are made to feel we are there still pictures, recordings, radio, there are usual and audio devices may be used by and individual or a group, is usual symbols, there are no longer realities reproduction of physical things for these are highly abstract representations and the last experience is verbal symbols, they are not like the object or ideas for which they stand.

LB#4 Systematic Approach to Teaching

  The focus of systematic instructional planning is the student instruction begins with the definition of instructional objectives that consider the students needs interests and readiness. The effective use of learning resources is dependent on the expertise of the teacher, the motivation level or responsiveness and the involvement of the students in the learning process after instruction the teacher evaluates the outcome of instruction from the evaluation results, teacher comes to know if the instructional objective was attained, if the instructional attained teacher proceeds to the next lesson going through the same cycle once more and if the instructional objective was not attained, then teacher diagnoses learned in order to introduce a remedial measure for improved student performance and attainment of instructional objective.

            From the constructivist point of view, educational technology serves as a learning tools those learners learn with. According to Jonassin there are many roles of technology in learning .Technology as tools to support knowledge construction, as information vehicles for exploring knowledge to support learning  by constructing, as context to support learning by doing, as a social medium to support learning by the conversing technology as intellectual partners to support learning by reflecting.

            So with internet, technology has facilitated communication among people. From the constructivist perspective, educational technology is a meaningful leaving tool by sewing as a learning partner.
