LB# 17 ASSESSMENT IN A CONSTRUCTIVIST TECHNOLOGY- SUPPORTED LEARNING
ASSESSMENT IN A CONSTRUCTIVIST TECHNOLOGY- SUPPORTED LEARNING
From the word to assess, it means to support or guide learner's understanding in order for it to enhance. Constructivists suggest that learning is more effective when a student is actively engaged in the learning process rather than attempting to receive knowledge passively. Constructivism and technology work together in order to produce a productive learning.
Therefore, in order to have an effective learning,the teacher should assess the students to understand the lesson actively and attentively with a collaboration of a technology that suits to the lesson and would also help to enhance the knowledge of the learners to become an active participant in the class discussion.
The teacher should also use objectives and motivation that will suits to the learner's needs and interests because everything will be useless if the students would not understand everything that a teacher discuss in front. The teacher should consider that one of the important element in the teaching process is the learner.

LB # 16 USING THE PROJECT-BASED LEARNING MULTIMEDIA AS A TEACHING-LEARNING STRATEGY
USING THE PROJECT-BASED LEARNING MULTIMEDIA AS A TEACHING-LEARNING STRATEGY
By project-based learning, we mean a teaching method in which students acquire new knowledge and skills in the course of designing, planning, and producing some product or performance. By multimedia, we mean the integration of media objects such as text, graphics, video, animation, and sound to represent and convey information.
If we use the project-based learning multimedia as a teaching-learning strategy,the students therefore will use technology-based presentations, such as powerpoint,website or video. This is advantage to those students who are knowledgeable enough when it comes to gadgets, it can help them to make their projects more presentable and systematize. As a teacher, you must also consider those students who are not capable enough to use gadgets due to poverty and lack of equipments in their community or school. They may know how to use some technologies but they are not good enough compare to those students who have more experience in using this stuff.
What will happen here is that, there will be inferiority for those students who have lack of knowledge when it comes to this things. They may have a hard time in finishing their works in a given period but what is good about this, is that it will help them to have more experience and knowledge to do things in a right and easy way. It can help them to acquire new things and knowledge that will help them to fit in the modern world which is dominated of modern technologies.

LB # 15 Project-based Learning and Multimedia : What it is?
Project-based multimedia learning is a teaching method in which students "acquire new knowledge and skills in the course of designing, planning, and producing multimedia product".
With it's definition,it will help the students to become creative. With this type of teaching, the learners would have a chance to learn on how to produce multimedia product which is very essential in the life of the students. Our world is becoming a technology dependent so students must be able to suit this type of world in oder not to be outcast in the future or even now in the present.
Having a knowledge on multimedia making would wider the imagination of the learner and help them to become more active, attentive and expressive.In a world full of fantasy all we need is reality, and what is that reality? the reality on becoming upgrade in things and not a slave of the past. We live in a modern world so we also need to become modern and so the students of today and the learners of tomorrow,in order to achieve change we need to start it on ourselves,when?starts now and not tomorrow,how? learn new things with the help of multimedia.. use it in a good way not in bad way..

LB # 14 Maximizing the use of Overhead Projector and the Chalkboard
From the word "maximize" therefore we need to make use of overhead projector and the chalkboard in a bigger and more advantage way. The use of overhead projector in the class would enhance the knowledge of the students in an upgrade way, it will help to make the lesson more interesting and challenging. With the use of overhead projector,it widens the imagination of the learners. It would make them realize that they can go beyond the limits of using chalkboard, i mean they can use modern technology to make things interesting and not just to stick in using chalkboard in the classroom.
Chalkboard on the other hand is the traditional way in teaching, no matter how we get rid of using it, it would always be maintained.To make the lesson interesting with the use of chalkboard, the teacher must sharpen the chalk and also use colorful chalks so that students would love to see it and motivate to participate in the class.
It's either the use of overhead projector or chalkboard, what matters most is that the learners would understand and learn on what is the lesson all about.

LB # 13 Teaching With Visual Symbols
Visual symbols includes drawings, diagrams, formulas, chart, graphs, maps or globe.
With the help of these materials, it would easy for the teacher to explain briefly the lesson. Students would have a hard time to understand the lesson if the teacher would only talks something which is invisible, let say for an example. The lesson is about the parts of the tree, how would the students understand and see the parts if the teacher would simply talk in front, it's better to use drawings for the students to understand and determine the parts. If the subject is about economics, the teacher should use graphs for her to be able to explain the standing or the result of 5 companies competing when it comes to the income. With the use of graphs, students would be able to understand the lesson and would have an idea on what is happening in the economy. In mathematics, students cannot solve a problem if there's no formulas on how to solve it, so it is very important to use formulas especially in mathematics. If the teacher would talk about continents without the use of maps and globes, the tendency would be the students will find the subject very boring, but with the use of maps, it would be interesting to listen because students would see how big the continent is and be able to wider their imagination on that place.
Chapter 13 is just the same as saying " It's hard to trust,to love and appreciate the person you did not see"
It's hard to understand, to love and appreciate the lesson if it is hanging, hanging in the sense that the teacher doesn't use any teaching visual symbols which is necessary in a classroom discussion.
