3. it is a surface on
which markings
made with chalk are
visible.
it is also
called blackboard or
greenboard. A
surface use to
write on.
4. Practices for Effective Use of
Chalkboard
1. Write clearly and legibly on the
board.
2. It help if you have a hard copy of
your chalkboard diagram
or outline.
3. Don't crowd your notes on the
board.
4. Make use of colored chalk to
highlight key points.
5. Practices for Effective Use of
Chalkboard
5. Do not turn your back to your class
while you are writing on the
chalkboard.
6. Start to write from the left side of
the board going right.

8. Look at your board work from all corners
of the room to test if students from all
sides of the room can read your board
work.
9. If there is a glare on the chalkboard at
certain times of the day, use the curtain of
the window.
7. Practices for Effective Use of
Chalkboard
11. If you need to have a board work in
advance for tomorrow's use, write "please
save" and cover it with a curtain.
12. Make full use of the chalkboard.
10. Mount the chalkboard a little concave
from left to right to avoid glare for the
students benefits.
8. Chalkboard Techniques
by James W. Brown (1969)
A. Sharpen your chalk to get good line
quality.B. Stand with your elbow high. Move
along as you write.
C. Use dot as "aiming points". This keeps
writing level.
D. Make all writing or printing
between 2and 4 inches high for
legibility.E. Use soft chalk so that it can be
erased easily.
9. - a projector that projects on to a
screen or surface the image on a
transparency placed over the
projector's light source,
with the image
redirected by
an overhead
mirror.
10. Advantages of Overhead Projector
By Brown (1969)
- it is simple to operate.
- instructor has the complete control of
sequence, timing, and manipulation of this
material.
- instructor is facing the whole class, keeping
the eye contact instead of turning around
and write.
- images can be enlarge for all the
audience to see.
11. - instructor may point, or some
indication to facilitate
communication.
- the projection surface is large allowing the
teacher to show his/her prepared
transparencies on the screen.
- easy to create materials for use in the
overhead projector.
- there is an increasing number of high-
quality commercial transparencies.
12. -show pictures and diagrams,
using pointer on the
transparency to direct
attention to a detail.
- use felt pen or wax-based pencil to
add details during projection.
- control the rate of presenting
information by covering a
transparency with a sheet of paper.
This is known as progressive
disclosure technique.

-place additional
transparency
sheets as overlays on base
transparency separate
process and complex ideas
into elements and present them
in step-by-step order.
- show three dimensional
objects from the
stage of the projector.
14. Overhead Projector Techniques
by James W. Brown (1969)
- move over lays
back and forth to
rearrange elements of
diagrams.
- simulate motion on parts
of the transparency by using
polaroid glass to polarized light.
- simultaneously project on adjacent
screen other visual materials usually
slides or motion pictures.

15. Other reminders on the effective use
of the OHP :
-stand off the side of the
side of the OHP while you
face the students.
- face the students when
you talk not the screen.
16. Other reminders on the effective use
of the OHP :
Prev
- place the OHP to your right,
if you are right handed, and
left if you are left handed.
- place the OHP on the table low
enough so that it does not
block you or the screen.
17. Prev
Other reminders on the effective use
of the OHP :
- tilted the top of the
screen towards OHP to
prevent keystone effect.
- AVOID mistake of
including too much
detail on each image.
- AVOID large tables of
figures. Come up with
graphic presentation.
18. Prev
Other reminders on the effective use
of the OHP :
- DON'T READ the text
on your slide.
- AVOID too much text.
- your presentation
must be readable from
a far.
19. students themes or writing exercises can be
reproduce in films by means of the heat or
photocopy process
Brown(1969) enumerates effective
practices and experiences from others:
simple objects (i.e. keys, leaves, cut out paper
shapes) can be placed directly on the projector
Primary grades
English composition lessons
20. Brown(1969) enumerates effective
practices and experiences from others:
two-and three- dimensional diagrams can be
built up gradually with carefully prepared
transparencies involving color and separate
overlays.
blank sheets of acetate and grease pencils can be
given to selected students.
Arithmetic
Geometry and Trigonometry
21. Brown(1969) enumerates effective
practices and experiences from others:
the secretary can use a cellophane roll
(accompanying most projectors) or blank
acetate sheets.
plays and game procedures may be analyzed
P.E and Team Training
Homeroom Activities
22. Brown(1969) enumerates effective
practices and experiences from others:
a teacher can sketch on clear plastic with a felt
pen.
a picture-transfer transparency can be made
from a magazine picture.
Primary Reading Class
Art Class
23. Brown(1969) enumerates effective
practices and experiences from others:
all types of maps can be enlarged after accurate
but easy preparation. Overlays show key facts
about particular regions.
Social studies
iron filings dusted on a clear plastic sheet over a
permanent magnet can be projected clearly to
illustrate lines of force.
Science
24. Progressive Disclosure Technique can
be achieve:
Placing a sheet of paper over the transparency
and moving it down to expose succeeding lines
of type.
Attaching strips of opaque paper to the aides of
the mask
The projector itself is easy to operate
The overhead projector is used in the front of the room by the instructor, who has complete control of the SEQUENCE, TIMING, and MANIPULATION of his material
Facing his class and observing student reactions, the instructor can guide his audience, control its attention, and regulate the flow of information in the presentation
The projected image behind the instructor can be as large as necessary for all in the audience to see; it is clear and bright, even in fairly well-lighted rooms
-since the transparency, as it is placed on the projector, is seen by the instruct or exactly as students see it on the screen, he may point, write, or otherwise make indications upon it to facilitate communication.
The stage (projection surface) of the projector is large (10 by 10 inches), this allowing the teacher to write information with ease or to show prepared transparencies. His/her work appears immediately on the screen.
It is especially easy for teachers and students to create their own materials for use in the overhead projector
There is an increasing number of high-quality commercial transparencies
For our generation, we don’t see transparencies now, we use the modern projector or the LCD to project our lesson, but the advantages may still be the same.
You can show pictures and diagrams, using a pointer on the transparency to direct attention to a detail. The silhouette of your pointer will show in motion on the screen.
You can use a felt pen or wax-based pencil to add details or to make points on the transparency during projection. The marks of the water-based pens and pencils can be removed with a soft cloth so that the transparency can be reused.
You can control the rate of presenting information by covering a transparency with a sheet of paper or cardboard (opaque material) and then exposing data as you are ready to discuss each point. This is known as progressive disclosure technique
You can superimpose additional transparency sheets as overlays on a base transparency so as to separate processes and complex ideas into elements and present them in step-by-step order
You can show three-dimensional objects from the stage of the projector – in silhouette if the object is opaque, or in color if an object is made of transparent color plastic
You can move overlays back and forth across the base in order to rearrange elements of diagrams or problems.
For special purposes you can simulate motion on parts of a transparency by using the effects of polarized light. To do this, set a Polaroid glass spinner over the projector lens and attach a special plastic element to parts of transparency for which motion is desired
You can simultaneously project on an adjacent screen other visual materials, usually slides or motion pictures, which illustrate or apply the generalizations shown on a transparency.
-stand to one side of the OHP while you face the students
don’t talk to the screen. Face the students when you talk, not the screen.
Place the OHP to your right, if you are right handed, and to your left, if you are left handed
Place the OHP on a table low enough so that it does nit block you or the screen
Have the top of the screen tilted forward towards the OHP to prevent the “keystone effect’ (where the top of the screen is larger than the bottom)
Avoid the mistake of including too much detail on each image. A simple layout makes an effective slide. If an audience needs to be given details, provide handouts to be studied later
Avoid large tables of figures. Come up with graphic presentation
-don’t read the text on your slide. Your audience can read
Avoid too much text. Rely sparingly on printed text. Come up with more graphs, charts diagrams or pictures
Your presentation must be readable from afar. Simple use od color can add effective emphasis
- In primary grades, simple objects like keys, leaves, and cutout paper shapes can be placed directly on the projector to stimulate children imagination and encourage discussion.
. The teacher and students can analyze the writing for style and grammar as each example is projected.
- Have them prepare solutions to homework problems so the class may evaluate and discuss their result.
-Geometry theorems and complicated problems can be separated into single components and presented systematically. In other mathematical and technical subjects, plastic objects like some rulers and compasses can be shown to a group and discussed.
-through the use of plastic or opaque moving symbols on a transparency which shows the court or field design.
-in write nominations, list, motion for consideration, and important discussion points for all to see and react.
In a primary reading class, a picture-transfer transparency can be made from a magazine picture. Project this transparency and ask the class to identify major items shown. Then place a clear piece of a acetate over the picture and, with a felt pen, write the name of each item identified. Later move the picture and discuss the words that remain on the screen
In art class, a teacher can sketch on a clear plastic with a felt pen. The entire class sees the result similarly, transparent water colors, colored plastic shapes, finger paint, inks or grease pencil may be used
In science, iron filings dusted on a clear plastic sheet over a permanent magnet can be projected clearly to illustrate lines of force. Leaves, with chlorophyll removed, can be projected to show veins and the general leaf pattern. Clear glass Petri dish can be placed on the projection platform and used to show chemical reactions when changing colors reveal interactions of translucent fluids.
In social studies, all types of maps can be enlarged after accurate but easy presentation. Overlays show key facts about particular regions.
