LB #9

All dtramatization is essentially a process of communication, in
which both participant and spectators are engaged. A creative
interaction takes place, a sharing of ideas.
As an instructional device, the puppet show can involve the
entire students- as speakers of parts, manipulators of
the figures, and makers of the puppets.

LB #8

We teach through a re-arrangement of the  raw reality: a specimen,
a manageable sample of a whole. . . when the direct experience
cannot be used properly in its natural setting.
We use simulations and games to make our classdes interactive
and to develop the decison-making skills and knowledge
contruction of our students.

LB #7

From the rich experiences that our senses bring, we construct
the ideas, the copncepts, the generalizations that give  meaning 
and order to our lives.
These direct experiences must not be the period or the end.
We must brought to a higher plane. The higher plane is
the level of generalization  and abstraction.

LB #6

You should have a good idea  of your destination, both oin over-all
purposes of education and in the everyday work of your teaching.
If you do not know where you going, you cannot choose a way
to get their. It is one thing to select a good instructional material,
it is another thing to use it well.

LB #5

The cone is a visual analogy, and like all analogies, it does not bear an exact and
detailed relationship to the complex elements it represents.
In our teaching, then we do not always begin with direct experience
at the base of the cone. Rather,we begin with the kind of experience that is most
appropriate to the needs of abilities of particular learner in particular learning
situitions.

LB #4

A plan that emphasizes the parts may pay the cost of failing to
consider the whole, and a plan that emphasizes the whole must
pay the cost of failing to get down to the real depth with respect to the parts.
The different of sensory aid often overlap and sometimes blend into one another.
Motion pictures can be silent or they can combine sight and sound.

LB #3

Technology makes a new place. From constructivist`s point of view.
technology serves as learning tools that learners learn with.
Technology as information vehicles fir exploring knowledge to
support learning-by-constructing: for accessing needed information
for comparing perspectives, beliefs and world views.
