Educational = instructive/informative
Media = plural of medium XD

in other words, CEM refers to those devices
which have become NORMAL PART of the
classroom setting used to transmit messages

FLAT PICTURES

• “universal language”
• Defined as opaque representations of visual
images which include study prints, paintings,
drawings, or photographs in magazines and books.
• Still pictures is a broader term for nonmoving
pictures , projected or not. This includes slides,
transparencies, filmstrips, and flat pictures

WHAT MAKE FLAT PICTURES STAND OUT AND
DULL AT THE SAME TIME?
Advantages Limitations
1. Readily available 1. Generally small in size
2. Can be used easily 2. Lack depth
3. Can be made easily 3. Lack motion
4. Stimulate and motivate students
 Meriam-Webster defined graphics as a
picture, drawing, or graph used as a
GRAPHICS decoration or TO MAKE SOMETHING
EASIER TO UNDERSTAND.

GRAPHS
Visual representations of numerical data (Wittich & Schuller, 1979)
Also considered as flat pictures to visualize numerical and statistical data or to show
statistical relationships (Kinder, 1965)
The major use of graphs is to show numerical data FOR QUICK AND EASY READING
by the learner.
LINE GRAPH
A line graph is most useful in displaying
data or information that changes
continuously over time.
The line graph on the right shows the
degrees of temperature going up the
vertical axis (up and down numbers on
the left of the graph) and the days of
the week on the horizontal axis (going
sideways from left to right). The points
for the temperature for each day are
connected by a line - thus the graph is a
line graph.
BAR GRAPHS
Bar graphs are an excellent way to show
results that are one time, that aren't
continuous - especially samplings such as
surveys, inventories, etc.
A bar chart is marked off with a series
of lines called grid lines. These lines
typically mark off a numerical point in
the series of numbers on the axis or line.
Bar graphs are useful to get an overall
idea of trends in responses - which
categories get many versus few
responses.
PIE GRAPH
Circle or pie graphs are particularly
good illustrations when considering how
many parts of a whole are inception.
The pie chart is then divided very much
as a baker's pie would be into slices that
represent the proportional amounts of
time spent on each activity.
To the right of the pie chart is a legend
that tells which color stands for which
category. In addition, the percents are
also near the pie slice that stands for
that particular amount of time spent.
CHARTS
A chart is a flat picture designed to show place, time, and factual relationships; it
may be made up of pictures, symbols, and numerical data (Cross and Cypher, 1961)
Most are combination of pictorial, graphic, numerical, or verbal materials which
altogether represent visual summaries of important process or relationships.
ORGANIZATIONAL CHARTS
FLOW CHARTS
DIAGRAMS
Are often classified as charts. However, they are different from charts in that they
consist primarily of lines and symbols that show the “outline relationship, or key
features of a process, an object, or an area” (Wittich & Schuller, 1979)
Because they are usually abstract, they require a special background knowledge or
experience from both teacher and students
CONSTRUCTION BLUEPRINTS
POSTERS
A poster is a bill or placard posted in public place and designed to convey a
message quickly and succinctly. Usually, posters carry a single idea, make use of bold
designs, strong color, large captions and exaggeration in order to catch the viewer’s
attention.
CARTOONS & COMIC STRIPS
Cartoons
Interpretative picture which uses
symbolism and oftentimes bold
exaggeration to present at a glance a
message or point concerning news
events, people, or situations (Kinder,
1965)
Comic Strips
A form of cartooning in which a cast of
characters enacts a story in a sequence
of closely related drawings designed to
entertain the reader.
MAPS
Maps are usually flat representations of the earth’s surface, although a number of
them are raised or three-dimensional.
There are three types of maps: 1 physical – those that emphasize terrain and
topographical concepts; 2 political – those that show man-made phenomena such as
state, city, or provincial boundaries, or location of highways or railroads, or
government buildings; and 3 special purpose maps – those that stress concepts like
rainfall, population distribution, travel routes or those that serve other peculiar
purposes of the map-maker.
ARE GRAPHICS MORE USEFUL THAN FLAT
PICTURES?
Advantages Limitations
1. Focusses attention 1. Require higher level of background
information
2. Clarify concepts
2. Demanding
3. Understanding of the subjects
3. Easily distorted/misinterpreted

INSTRUCTIONAL MEDIA
THREE-DIMENSIONAL INSTRUCTIONAL MEDIA
Three-dimensional materials provide a sense of realism, involving more senses than
the other instructional media already discussed. They give richer understanding of
real things.

MODELS AND MOCK-UPS: ARE THEY DIFFERENT?
Models Mock-ups
A recognizable three-dimensional Generally contrived or simulated
representation of a real thing. representations of real things that
students can work on with.
OBJECTS AND SPECIMENS: THE REAL THING
Objects
Are actual things removed from their
normal setting can be brought to the
classroom for study and analysis.
Specimens
Considered as representatives or typical
of a group or class represented.
DIORAMA: A SNAPSHOT IN 3D
Three-dimensional scene in depth incorporating a group of modeled objects and
figures in a naturalistic foreground which is blended into a painted background.
WHAT’S THE BAD THING IN “REAL THING”
Advantages
1. Simulate first-hand experiences
2. Can be viewed from various angles
3. Simplify real objects
Limitations
1. Demand classroom space
2. More expensive
3. Distort students’ impression
CHALKBOARDS The classic!
OH BLACKBOARD, WHY ARE YOU SO GREEN?
is a reusable writing surface on which text or
drawings are made with sticks of calcium
sulphate or calcium carbonate, known, when
used for this purpose, as chalk. Blackboards
were originally made of smooth, thin sheets
of black or dark grey slate stone. Modern
versions are often green because the color is
considered easier on the eyes.
This includes not only those with flat and
wide surfaces but also the portable types
which can be moved or even serve as
dividers. Using chalk, it is a convenient
writing area where illustrations can instantly
be drawn even during a discussion. An
eraser can easily keep it clean and ready
for continuous use.
SIMPLE TECHNIQUES OF CHALKBOARD
UTILIZATION
1. Always start with a clean slate.
2. Choose the section of the board that is readily seen by the students.
3. Make forceful illustrations with confidence and emphasis.
4. Use colored chalk for emphasis.
5. Think!
