 Upstairs in the library, Jayash Sneha is preparing to use media in a geography lesson later in the week. He follows the CAPE procedure in developing his media collection. This means he collects and files media resources he might use on an ongoing basis. But collections of resources need to be organized, so Jayash's next step is to analyze how and where the different media resources can be used. He never uses media without designing a good lesson around it. Next, he chooses which media resource he needs and then produces a worksheet to guide his students' learning. And that is basically what the worksheet is there for. It is not so much as to get a right or wrong answer, but to guide them in the direction that I want to put them and to make them focus on certain issues. It takes a lot of time. It means going through resources. It means sifting through stuff. It means then taking out what is relevant, focusing on that, putting that together and then presenting that as a package. A lot of time is spent in preparation. But I think that the flip side of that coin is that the more time you spend in preparation, the less stressful it becomes once you're in the classroom because you've done all your homework already. You've produced all the materials that you need and really when you get into the classroom, it's pretty easy to present that lesson because you've already done all the work beforehand. Can you see that? Okay, I'm going to pass this magazine around so that you can have a look at that. Another advantage of preparing printed materials is that these can be shared with other teachers, thus reducing everyone's workload. And of course, printed materials can be reused. Jayesh still uses the prescribed textbooks in the classroom but uses magazines and other media to supplement his lesson. Finally, Jayesh evaluates how well his media has worked as a learning resource. This is a vital step in the good use of media as a learning resource. Depending on the results of his evaluation, Jayesh will adapt his learning resource so that it works better next time.
