Producing Your Own Materials
by Robert E. Ness
JL EACHERS can produce materials that will add to the efficiency of classroom presentations. They can be displayed as pass-outs, on bulletin boards, on flannel boards, or used in the opaque projector. But with all the commercially prepared materials available, is it worth the time and effort on the teacher's part?
Let's look at some of the reasons why teachers need to prepare their own materials: ( 1 ) They can produce materials which correlate better with their instructional goals; (2) it will give them a better knowledge of the material content; ( 3 ) teachers will develop abilities to discriminate, select, and evaluate; (4) new techniques will be learned; (5) ego and pride will be satisfied; (6) saving of money.
The ideal set-up is to have one central area in the school devoted to preparation of teaching materials; if this is not possible, the classroom wall suffice. The novice in production of materials should begin by
planning for three basic areas: mounting, lettering, and coloring. Each of these interacts with the other and they are separated only for descriptive reasons.
Mounting Materials: Two clean and effective methods for mounting materials are dry and rubber cement mounting. The basic materials needed to perform these types of moimting are rubber cement, waxpaper, and cardboard for rubber cement mounting; and a dry mounting press, tacking iron, dry mounting tissue, and cardboard for the dry mounting method. A trimming board of paper cutter is recommended to increase the attractiveness of the mounts. Two hundred dollars should be a sufficient amount to provide 15 teachers with enough materials and equipment to get started in this area of local production. Why should pictures and charts be mounted? Generally there are five reasons: (1) to protect and insure longer life; (2) to emphasize their values; (3) easier to display;
