Try the materials out with the students. • How well do they like the materials? • How effectively do the materials help them learn?
5. Compare any competing materials. • If you have located more than one set of applicable materials, repeat the preview and tryout process to compare their effectiveness and appeal to students. 6. Make your selection. • Use the information you have gathered to select the instructional materials that you think will work best in your situation. 7. Keep Accurate records • After you have chosen the instructional media, make sure you follow up on their effectiveness.
