MASS MEDIA
Mass media means technology that is intended to reach
a mass audience. It is the primary means of communication
used to reach the vast majority of the general public.
TYPES OF MASS MEDIA
• Print media : News papers, books, magazines and other
printed materials.
• Electronic media : Radio, television, internet, cinema,etc.
MASS MEDIA IN EDUCATION
1. Regardless of gender, race, age, geographic location or any
disability mass media gives an equal chance for all to progress
in the field of education.
2. Distribute over distances to reach the student wherever he
happens to be, instead of bringing him to the teacher.
3. Give the student an opportunity to reach the material and
respond in many ways.
ADVANTAGES
• The mass media is a great tool in grading and inspecting
schools and universities.
• It is also useful in showing success in schools and universities,
by praising those who get the best results out of their students.
•
DISADVANTAGES
• It is sometimes harmful for people. They spend too much time
playing games online, watching irrelevant programmes etc..
DEFENITION OF E-BOOKS
An electronic book (also e-book) is a text- and image-based
publication in digital form produced on, published by, and
readable on computers or other digital devices.
ADVANTAGES OF E-TEXTBOOKS
1. Low update : To update the e-book, simply edits the
electronic document, saves, and then informs customers
about the new release.
2. Multimedia format : e-books can contain not only text and
images, but also audio and even video.
3. Searchable : Search button allows you to quickly jump to the
page containing the word you're interested in.
4. No shipping cost. Since we're dealing with electronic files,
you can simply download them from the web.
DISADVANTAGES OF E-TEXTBOOKS
1. Not convenient to read : Sitting for prolonged periods of time
can cause muscle strain, backache.
2. Printing cost : If your e-book is quite long, the printing cost
will be shouldered by your readers.
3. Piracy :With e-books, your file can be easily emailed to
someone living thousands of miles away. It can even be placed
in a public server for anyone to download.
E-TEXTBOOKS IN CLASSROOM
1. Never out of stock and no waiting on shipping.
2. Environmentally friendly : Schools will not have to constantly
buy new physical copies of textbooks as curriculum changes.
3. Storage space is reduced : Tablets can hold hundreds of
textbooks on one device, this eliminates the need for physical
storage of books.
4. They come with font flexibility making reading easier.
5. No trees are required to manufacture paper for the pages
of e-books.
6. E-books are portable : We can carry a whole library of
hundreds of books, without worrying about their weight.
7. E-books can be interactive and contain audio, video and
animations, which can enhance the message that the
author is trying to convey.
8. E-books are searchable : We can easily search for any
information in an e-book, instead of turning pages after
page.
MEDIA IS A GIFT TO EDUCATION WHICH IN TURN
A BLESSING TO HUMANITY.
