Film,Video,T.V. are medium of communication. It is a more accessible and less cumbersome to use. Students today tend to be an inquisitive learners. They wants vivid pictures,innovative teaching and fun learning.Television is one of the current source of learning. We can have an update news,and educational learning through a discovery channel. That's why E-TV in school is being implemented by the policy makers because it can help the teachers in elaborating his lesson. But before conducting the activity,teacher should inform the students about the lesson objectives to ensure learning objectives.

Setting of the objectives,permission of the concerned personnel,safetiness of the students,transportation and purpose of the trip should be given an emphasis.To picture out a complete learning achievements,teachers should discuss the objectives to the students to ensure that the community resources are use for learning,not just for fun. For them to arouse their curiosity in sensing the real world that could widen their horizon of being a student.

Demonstrating in teaching is a great advantage to students because they can watch a certain process to be done. They have an opportunity to asks questions about the demonstration because it is an open-ended question.Be sure that before doing it, set first your goals/objectives wither the specific demonstrations would meet to the student needs.Try to consider that learners know nothing or a little for them to arouse their curiosity and interest.When the students learned how to be a keen-observer,then have an evaluation by by doing such thing like what you have demonstrated. This teaching strategy is most applicable in science,and home economics subject.

"Act what you've got!" the famous expression that could relate to dramatization. Teachers who used his/her learners in acting what they have learned will likely develop their sense of creativity and their skills.It is an effective way to simulate situations by actually letting the students act on stage. There is interactive and student-centered learning process while cultivating the creative abilities of students.
Role playing is the best assessment method in performance test. Why? Because teachers will elicit information from the students wither they understand the lesson or not through showing what they got during discussion.It is good thing to note that through role playing, students will enhance their communication skills and provide a showcase talent to them. And as a future teachers,we should be guided on its uses. Preschoolers up to elementary level will be enjoying if we should be creative in our teaching methods like having a puppet show and tablue. They're not only enjoying from it but also learning.

Teaching with Contrived Experiences
 
One of the qualities of an effective teacher is to make models and mock ups as a substitute of real thing that is not feasible to bring in the class. As I recall my high school experience, my Science Teacher used us to make projects on the solar system,parts of a cell,and atoms. Most of our projects were used as visual aids in her instruction materials. We need to make our projects accurate, that is as imitation of the real thing. The teacher facilitates and we shared ideas,knowledge,and information about on a particular illustration. What I liked most to her was that she brought us into reality. I imagined how things worked or looks like through the help of the representation of things.
 Based on my experience, I feel interesting as I listened to my Science Teacher to her discussion that made my imagination wider as well as my abstract thought. In so doing, teacher should be creative and sensible to the student needs. Teachers must also bear in mind that in doing mock ups or illustration,it should be in a correct presentation that is following the right color,size and all aspects of an object.
