    LESSON 18: 

ROLES AND FUNCTIONS OF AN EDUCATIONAL MEDIA CENTER

“We have said that the best ideas in the world are to be found in a modern library. But the modern educational media center must include excellence in varied media”

An EMC is a facility designed for the housing and utilization of all educational media within the school. It renders various kinds of services. It facilitates and ensures the optimum use of all instructional media.

 It organizes learning activities for students and teachers alike for them to upgrade and improve their technology manipulative skills all for the purpose of motivating them to keep on developing their communication, analytical, integrative, creative and collaborative skills for meaningful lifelong learning. Its services boil down to improving the teaching-learning process by making it more interactive, collaborative, interesting and authentic.

This is made possible only by an EMC that is adequately equipped not only with material resources but most important of all by manpower resources, the media specialist and the assistants.
