Using Media

  The most effective use of A-V materials will result when the   classroom teacher observes the following phases of   standard practice:

  Preview  Know what the material contains. (scenes,   concepts, vocabulary, depth of information)

  Preparation  Prepare your class planning so material will   be properly correlated and students motivated to be alert to   specifics related to the lesson.

  Presentation  Know your equipment so that a smooth   presentation is assured.

  Follow-up  Encourage questions, discussion, further   reading, special reports, field trips, etc.

  Evaluation  Determine how well the use of the material   achieved its purpose.

  A-V Materials may be employed not only to present information, but as an introductory medium for a new topic or a summary of a lesson or unit.
