 WHAT
z IS OVERHEAD PROJECTOR?

- AN OVERHEAD PROJECTOR (OHP)

IS A BOX WITH A LARGE STAGE AT
THE TOP; LIGHT FROM THE BOX
CONDENSED BY A SPECIAL LENS
KNOWN A FRESNEL LENS.

AN EXAMPLE
OF
OVERHEAD
PROJECTOR
 MAJOR PARTS OF OVERHEAD PROJECTOR
z

Lamp and Box - The largest part of an overhead projector is the box at its base. The box contains two key components – a lamp and a cooling fan
FresnelLens and Plate Glass - You place your slide or projection panel on a large piece of glass, called the stage glass, on top of the projector's main box. Underneath that glass, the projector has a special type of lens called a fresnel lens. These lenses, which are usually made of plastic, magnify the bulb, spreading its light over the entire
plate glass. Fresnel lenses are also used in credit-card sized magnifiers.
 z

Upper Lens Assembly - The projector's upper lens assembly, called a head, collects and projects the light that
passes from the bulb through the fresnel lens and the projection media
Projection Media - Without projection media, a projector is just a big light box. Overhead projectors typically use
transparency film. Usually made of acetate, transparencies are frequently letter-sized and can be bought with
different surfaces to allow them to be written on, copied onto, laser printed or inkjet printed
 ADVANTAGES
z OF USING OHP

 - IT ALLOWS DIRECT EYE CONTACT BY

PRESENTER WITH HIS AUDIENCE
 - THE EQUIPMENT IS USUALLY LIGHTWEIGHT,
PORTABLE AND EASY TO OPERATE
 - A VARIETY OF MATERIALS CAN BE PROJECTED
CONSISTING OF NOTES AND DIAGRAMS
 HOW TO USE OHP EFFECTIVELY
z

 - Avoid using as doodle pad for random notes or

verbal cues. Use a chalkboard instead
 - You can switch off OHP when not in use when you
intend to present a lengthy discussion so that the
attention of the students is focused in you and not on
the lighted projector
 z

 - Use a pointer ( laid at transperacy ) to directa

attention to the items presented on the
transparency.

 PHOTOGRAPHY
 FEATURES
z

 FILM LOADING :

 SINGLE LENS REFLEX VIEW FINDER

 LENSS OPENING

 ARTIFICAIL LIGHTING
FOR COMPOSING PHOTOGRAPHIC
z
PICTURES

1. Give promeninence to the main subjects over other elements

2. Eliminate distracting bacground

3. Avoid unnecessary distortion of images

4. The center of inntersect should be near one of the intersection of the lines.

5. Elements in the foreground improve pictures perspective and interest.

6. Deph of fields relates to the distance between you and your subjects
 PHOTOGRAPHIC SLIDES
z

 Maps, charts, tables and other detailed

subjects can be presented more
effectively by using a phographic slides
AV SHOWMANSHIP FOR SLIDE
z
PRESENTATION
1. Use a remote control device. Stand at the side of the room and
maintain eye contact with the audience, while keeping an eye on the
slides.

2. Ensure sequential order of your slides.

3. Plan and reherase narration while showing the slides.

4. Consider adding music to a live or recorded narration

5. Begin and end with a black slide

 LESSON 7

 CHARACTERISTICS OF THE AUDIO

MEDIA
 z

 The audio media are intensive, simple to use ad can present

stimulating verbal messages more dramitically than the print
media.
 In addition, portable audio equipment can be used in the field.
Audio materials can also be easily duplicated as needed
 The popular audio format cosist of the phonograph records (disc
recordings), the open reel tape, the cassette tape, and the laser
disc. They have comparative strength and weaknesses.
 z

 PHONOGRAPHS – Phonographs selections are enormous from

Beethovens’s Ninth Symphony to various band music. However,
it is not economical to “cut” your own records. Records are
easily damaged throught scratching, warping or breaking. There
is also a problem of space storage for them.
 AUDIO TAPES – Economical and easy to message for
recording purposes, their magnetic signals can be erased and tape
reused. Yet, the tend to deteriorate in quality when stored.
 z

 OPEN REEL TAPES – These tapes are good for professional

recording, especially due to their soud track and their capacity
to be slicd for editing purposes. Due to their being threaded
into reels, they may not be easy to handle and use.
 LASER DISC – Laser discs allow high fidelity sound.
However, they are still uneconomical and will require speceial
playback equipment.
 APPLICATION OF THE
z

AUDIO MEDIA
In instruction, the audio media can be used in self-paced instruction
and mastery learning. The students can go back and repeat
segments of instructional as often as necessary.

Other uses of media are : for drill work, for describing steps or
processes, interview of personalities, pre-recorded messages ( for
museums, observations, exhibit areas), reporting, etc.
