Just imagine when we are trying to knew about how Bagyong Ondoy ruin the life and occupation of our fellow Filipinos. Would you like to knew it only in the radio? or in the newspaper?Of course you would probably refer to watch the news aired in the television. This is because, television is a package deal. Aside that it is audio, it is also a visual means of communication.
In the classroom setting, we can observe that the most used and tortured visual aids are in the means of using cartolina, manila paper and the like. It seems that this visuals are very common inside the classroom. So since we are talking to how effective and powerful the film, video and TV are, why not use these in the class discussion?
Students, especially graders will surely give much interest in the discussion if it is in a way of motion pictures, colored presentation with matching sound effects.It keeps the attention of the students and retention is better with audio-visual tools.Let's set an example that a class is going to have a film viewing. Before viewing, give your students a set of objectives and expectations in watching the film. Link the film with your lesson. Set house rules to prevent interruptions during the viewing process. Give out guide questions for them to answer after viewing.
But then, we must take into consideration that too much exposure may encourage passivity which is not advisable to the students. For the reason that learning is an active process not a passive process. So we must know our limitations in using the benefits of TV, film and video in the teaching-learning process.
