Learning Bank 8- Teaching with contrived experiences

                      I learned from this lesson that contrived experience can be use and it is also very important in teaching because it is prepared substitute for a real things so that it will create a real representation and make the students to understand more. Contrived experience include the model, mock-up, specimen, objects ( it use in teaching to understand more by the students) simulation and games ( are use to motivate the students and to become the classes interactive and to develop their decision-making skills ).

                      I can apply my learning's to my choosen field by using contrived experience as instructional materials in teaching my students specially when I am in teaching a science subject I will use the "model" of planet and "mock-up" the arrangement of planet so that they can understand more about the lesson I am going to discuss but before that I will motivate first my student by playing a game so that they will not got bored if I will start my discussion.

Learning Bank 7- Direct, purposeful experiences and beyond

                I learned from lesson 7 that indirect/ vicarious experiences are experience of others like seeing in the movie or hear about it the opposite of this is direct experience and this are serve as the foundation of learning because we learn a lot through our own self-experience. I also learned that direct experience are purposeful experience because it is undergone in relation to a purpose of learning and this can be also use as an instructional materials in teaching.

                I can apply my learning's to my choosen field by reminding my students that dierct experience must not be the end and must brought this to higher plane because this will help them to learn a lot and when I am in teaching I will use direct experience as an instructional materials and if they don't have this kind of experience I will use indirect experience so that they have an idea about the lesson I am going to discuss.

Learning Bank 6- Using and evaluating instructional materials

                     I learned from lesson 6 that using an instructional materials is to attain the learning objectives and the effective use of instructional materials are not only by field trip but also the selection of materials and proper use of materials. I also learned that Hayden Smith advise the teacher to know the meaning of acronym PPPF it is said that the teacher should know her/his learning objective. motivate her students so that he/she can get the attention of the students, no need to present an expensive materials but make sure that using the best materials like magazine. newspaper and etc. is enough.

                      I can apply my learning's to my choosen field by motivating my students so that I can get their attention and I will make sure that I will attain the learning objectives of my lesson so that I can use instructional materials effectively if I'll become a teacher someday.

Learning Bank 5- The cone of experience

                     I learned from lesson 5 that sensory experience are mixed and interrelated because students learn by using their 5 senses: seeing, hearing, touching, tasting and smelling. Dale's cone of experience says that the teaching-learning process are learning by doing, the students cannot understand until the teacher did not show them how. I also learned that when teaching it is not stuck in the concrete instead letting students strive to the symbolic/abstract to develop their high thinking skills.

                    I can apply my learning's to my choosen field by applying of Dale's cone experience in teaching-learning process  and letting my students in a future to dramatize, demonstrate and etc. because I believe  learning is by doing.

Learning Bank 4- Systematic approah to teaching

                      I learned from lesson 4 that the learning of the students are depend upon the teacher of what teaching method he/she use and choose appropriate learning resources to improved students performance .I also learned that the focus of systematic instructional planning is the students.

                      I can apply my learning's to my choosen field by using appropriate teaching method, equipment, materials and facilities to become an effective and efficient teacher to my students someday.

Learning Bank 3- The roles of Educational Technology

                       I learned from lesson 3 that educational technology plays a various rols, it is true of what Constructivist says about their point of view that educational technology serves as a learning tools because technology can help students learnings increase their knowledge, understandings and how to learn by themselves.

                       I can apply my learning's to my choosen field by appreciating of what technology can do to help my learning's increase.
