“There is just not enough time to put media into my lesson plan.” Media is not something extra put into a lesson plan. Media takes the place of less interesting activities. Media teaches in a different way. Media is a tool.
Use Media in each step of a lesson 1. To Open the lesson and start interest (Human Experience) 2. To present the concepts & doctrine (Message) 3. To give time for reflection on what was learned (Discovery) 4. To challenge students to apply what was learned (Response)
