7. Choosing and Applying Educational Technology
Shall I use recording or audio-video clip?
Why this recording? Why this audio-video clip?
Why should I bring my class to the rice terraces In
Banawe when it is very far, very expensive and very
risky?
Can I not contrive the experience in one of the
corners of the school ground? Or can I not let them
view still pictures of the rice terraces and then ask
them to write a description?

8. APPLICATION
Using Venn Diagram give the difference and simililarity
of using modern technology and traditional in teaching.
