Lesson 5: State-of-the-Art ET Application Practices

What can you say about teachers who used media, simply to make classes entertaining and fun?


Ans.

 The key word in that question is "simply." If the only purpose is to make it fun, then it is not appropriate. A teacher should always begin with an objective--what do I want my students to understand or be able to do after this lesson. Once that is decided, then there are a variety of ways to teach that lesson. Choosing a fun way is a great idea--as long as it is both fun and effective. In other words, media has its place, but the learning still has to happen.
