Teaching with Contrived Experiences
Contrived experiences are copies of reality and are used as substitutes for real things when it is not possible to bring or do the real thing in the classroom.Example of these are games or conducting science experiments.Simulations are very useful in contrived experiences because it can make the learners actively participate in previously acquired skills and knowledge.Using simulation and games can make the class interactive and develop the decision skills and knowledge construction skills of the learners.

Direct, Purposeful  Experience and Beyond
These are the experiences that make up the foundation of our learning or the experiences that our senses bring from which we construct the ideas,the concepts,the generalization that give meaning and order to our lives.The more experience we have the more questions we give and at the same time we learn from our experiences and if we can,answer our own questions.

Systematic approach to teaching
An organized method/procedure together with correct and proper instructions is very important to attain instructional objectives.The focus of systematic instructional planning is the students.It is much concerned of the students needs,interests and readiness.The effective use of learning resources,learning materials,equipment and facilities is dependent on the expertise of the teacher,the motivation level or responsiveness, and the involvement of the students in the learning process.

The roles of educational technology in learning
Technology plays an important role in communicating and understanding with the students.From the traditional point of view and the constructivist point of view the students can easily understand the subject matter if they use both of these methods in which they can learn with the technology and using technology as the presenter and source of knowledge.

Boon or Bane

For me,technology is a bane.Because based on my experience it is expensive.Although it makes things easier for us but for us students it is very heavy for our pockets.Even though technology is required in our studies it is also very inconvinient for our budget.
