LESSON 14: MAXIMIZING THE USE OF THE OVERHEAD PROJECTOR AND THE CHALKBOARD

   LESSON 14:

 MAXIMIZING THE USE OF THE OVERHEAD PROJECTOR 

AND THE CHALKBOARD

New technologies were already discovered nowadays. But we can’t assure that these machines and technologies were also available in any remote areas and places. 

There are schools that were blessed with computer and computer-literate teachers. But most schools are not blessed. These results  for other school to use the chalkboard, the most available classroom equipment and the overhead projector which has become quite popular in schools.

With the use of chalkboard, teachers should take note some considerations. The teacher should write clearly and legibly because there are students sitting in the last rows. He/she should look his/her writings on the board from all corners of the room to test if pupils/students from all sides of the room can read the writings on the board.

On the other hand, with the use of OHP(overhead projector), which is very simple to operate and should be used in front of the room by the instructor, who has complete control of the sequence, timing and manipulation of the materials. 

The projected image should be as large as necessary for all in the audience, control its attention, and regulate the flow of information in the presentation. This is very useful to present the illustrations that are impossible to be witnessed by the audience.

Adopting them in our teaching spells visual and lasting learning for the students.
