1. SELECTION AND USE FOR
INSTRUCTIONAL MATERIALS
REPORTED BY: CHRECHELLE C. SAN JUAN

2. BOOKS
“Reading takes you into another world.”

3. BOOKS
 Textbooks and all kinds of books are
also classified as media or sub-
strategies. They contain information,
pictures and graphics.

4. ADVANTAGES
 Books are well written. They present accurate facts and details.
 They serve as permanent sources of information. Owning books assures
one with available information when needed.
 They are reusable.
 Students can control their own pace of learning by using books at a
convenient time.
 Books which present color, action and beautiful sceneries are enjoyed
and reread a number of times.

5. DISADVANTAGES
 Books on special contents can be
expensive for some.
 At one time, the search for
information can be limited to only
one or two readers.
 Some students are not “readers”.

6.  Cultivate the love for books among children at an early age.
 Assist them in understanding some facts cited especially the new
figures.
 Care in handling books is like respecting the author and the writing
therein.
 Always refer to new and updated or revised edition books.
 Encourage students to purchase and make a mini-library in their study
room.

7. FOR ELABORATIVE LEARNING
 Give questions on air pollution as one-week assignment.
Tell your students to gather information from as many
books as they can. Make your students share their
researched answer to class. Collect their assignments
complete references.

8. ELECTRONIC MATERIALS

9. ELECTRONIC MATERIALS
 A lot of electronic materials are now
available for teaching- learning- CDs, DVDs,
CD-ROMS and the Internet. While these are
developments in the field of educational
technology, it does not mean that all these
that came before like textbooks have
become obsolete. You will have a more
lengthy discussion of these electronic
materials in your two courses on
Educational Technology.
