LESSON 18: ROLES AND FUNCTIONS OF AN EDUCATIONAL MEDIA CENTER



 

 
 This lesson is about educational media center it is a facility of the school system tasked to acquire, maintain, care and promote the full effective use of educational media. It houses both old and new technologies meant to make learning more efficient and effective. If facilities and ensures the optimum use of all instructional media. It organizes learning activities for students and teachers alike for them to upgrade and improve on their technology manipulative skills all for the purpose of motivating them to keep on developing their communication, analytical, integrative, creative and collaborative skills for meaningful lifelong learning.
                       This is made possible only by an educational media center that is adequately equipped not only with material resources but most important of all by manpower resources, the media specialists and the assistants. A function EMC motivates and inspires, To have a functional EMC facilities our job, Imagine, a technician is there to help us  when we have no confidence in manipulating equipment like laptop for a power point presentation. Someone is there to help us when we need a visual material like a poster or map.
                     Usually locating an instructional material we need eats up our time. With a knowledgeable media specialist and caring assistants, we are spared.It has to be overemphasized that a school put the right persons in the EMC. All the technologies housed in the EMC will be laid to waste if  the media specialist and the assistants are not very knowledgeable and are not committed to the operation and manipulation of educational media.
