3. Strategies to use those programs
4. Character interaction and behavior (as characters are very powerful models)
5. Avoid programs that tells teachers as damn or parents as cruel or calling each    other names ... There should be no negative relationships

Educational television program vs traditional program

• TV program should be a supplemental approach to traditional programming in the classroom
• TV should represent some really difficult concepts like understanding how sounds and words can go together (which is at least really very difficult for a student to understand in a traditional way and so they understand well if they see it visually represented)
• It is also a kind of motivating

How can we integrated Education media in the lesson plan

• First EM is there for reinforcement what has already been learned about
• Break down complex topic
• Introduction of a new topic and get class interested in it
• Usually very usefully to visually interactive topics

TV programs at home should empower student  comprehend topics learned at class and enable student come up with questions

Emphasize should be on the programs that incorporate those kinds of best practices from the classroom

For  Educational TV use this acronym (to represent the positive element of educational TV)

SPLERN

S- is straight line story telling

The program should tell the story from point A to point B, if there is something meandering in between students will get confused

P – is for participation

Find programs that gives students the moment to participate(answer back what they have seen on the screen)

L  is for labeling on screen (student should be able to follow the labeling on the screen

E –Engagement ( a kind of engaging contents for students completely to know)

R – is for review, repetition, routine (we have learned this today (at the end), we have covered this area ....sort of, emphasize/focus on what the story is and what are the lessons in that story )

N – is to make sure that the content is non violent (look at the content that has no aggressive moment on it (especially for children because they are going to imitate, they will want to try it out)
