Education media refers to the means

those all means used to communicate education issues for the purpose of
informing or educating people. The media which are common and currently being
used in educational setting can be classified into four main groups namely;
audio-visual and digital media.
Education media and technology are
important in schools such as enhance teaching and learning process as follows;
It helps to the language skills of
the learners, where by learners acquires difference vocabulary or words from
the media hence these modify their language skills. For example through the
internet source one may acquire new vocabulary which he or she may use.
It is best way used to time since
through the use media such as television, projector and radio. Teacher use them
to deliver the subject content to students that took short period of time.
They are used to deliver
information, media and technology are useful in delivering the information
since explain the education and experience primitive or advanced societies.
Where people may communicate in through language from the sound, print,
graphics, or in electronics.
There are sources of teaching and
learning materials, teachers and learners may acquire materials from different
media such as internet; Google, twitter, these enhance teaching and learning
activities to be easily conducted.
Increase the interest of the
learners, where learners try to use various media such as television, computer
which motivate them in their learning activities.
It is true that education media and
technology stimulate copying activities in schools. Copying activities in
schools these are activities conducted or done in schools to enhance the
acquisition of skills and knowledge and skills. For example copying from
internet, the displayed materials by projector, Television and other source
from written materials such as books, news papers and magazines. Copying
activities involve taking information done and in stored by someone in steady
of contracting new ideas.
Copying activities in schools are
influenced by different causes such as; citation for instance by courting someone what he or she has written or
spoken, simplicity obtaining information as well as the time
given to accomplish the given assignment.
Copying contributes some negative
effects to the process of teaching and learning like these follows;
Reduction of attention of learners,
in steady of learner to concentrate on what is taught by teacher; they may
concentrate much on copying the materials which are displayed by teacher for
purpose of taking notes.
It lowers creativity of the learner and teachers. This is when
teacher fail to construct the new information or ideas that can be used in
teaching or learning. In steady she or he copy direct the material thee media
such as internet and books .And the learner s when they are given task they
fail to discuss and construct new ideas by connecting the prior knowledge what
they have and materials found in books and internet source.
Reduction of understanding capacity of learner about the
content of subject matter, this because the leaner constraint much on copying
on the materials rather than understanding the materials that are being
presented.
It mislead the Teacher about the
performance of the learner especially in group work since the students may copy
directly the answer of a given assignment from the sources like
internet,Wikipedia.com,answer.com and different books.
It reduce critical thinking where by
the Learners and Teachers copy directly materials of the topics or given
assignment than thinking critically. By doing so this reduces the thinking
capacity of learners and teachers.
It is possible to use education
media and technology at the same time control copying activities in schools.
Therefore some can use and control copying trough the following ways;
To be creative to be connecting the
prior knowledge and what they get through technology and other printing sources
media to create the new ideas.
Evaluate which topics are worth
understanding by the teachers. Technology is especially for generating
worthwhile and interesting topics. The internet provides wealth information
about virtually every topic imaginable that can be mined to generate new topic
or expand what students are studying as a part of curriculum.
Think about what students understood
about the topic. When teachers consider using media and technology in the
schools activities, it is important for them to think about the learning
objectives .objectives might includes the learning a new concept or applying a
key concept to relevant situation. A goal related to technology might to
understand how to find and critically examine
To the teachers must pay attention
on how students develop and demonstrate understanding. Use education media and
technology to help students stretch their mind and understand something rather
than depending much on copying.
To consider how students and teachers asses learning.
During ongoing assessment, the teachers must guide the students to in
understanding what quality work involves or use peer collaboration to help
students analyze and improve their work these can encourage students to assess
their own learning progress using media and technology.
Choose the technology which can help
students actively explore, construct and restructure information required for
school activities. Look for soft ware that help students directly manipulate
information.
A teacher must look ways to use
education media and technology as a part of collaborative to the real –world or
environment in learning process.
To check the sources that have gives
the information, these means that not all information that are on line area
correct there is other information that should correct before presented.
Giving time for the learners to pass
through different source that gives information about the asked phenomena.
Student should be assigned task to pass through different sources and check
them so as to approve them.
Generally education media and
technology stimulate copying activities in schools and possible to use them at
the same time control copying ,however there are other challenges that face
education media and technology such as resources, innovation, mind change,
integration, workload issues, the purpose and professional development.
Therefore the challenges that observed limit the education media and technology
such that this limitation should be solved by doing so this will improve
language skills, increase the interest of the learners and save time.
