Dale's Cone of experience , TPACK , SAMR and the assure model to enhance our educational system in. MTB-MLE. as a future educator we need to develop and practice their skills in that subject. In MTB-MLE, we can enhanced and develop subject through theories and principles where they provide the foundation for the instructional strategies .
First is the Dale 's cone of experience is the more sensory channels possible in interacting with a source many students can relate this because it is our own past or experiences in different learning of our life.

Lesson1 :Edgar Dale's Cone of Experience The Cone of Experience "The cone is a visual analogy, and like all analogies. It does not bear an exact and detailed relationship to the complex element it represents ". -Edgar Dale. In preparing to become a teacher , there are elements that should be taken into consideration . one way of putting it is the 8 M's of teaching and each element contributes to ensuring effective instruction. The eight M's of teaching.
1.Milieu- the learning environment
2. Matter- the content of learning
3. Method - teaching and learning activities
4.Material -the resources of learning
5.Media -communication system
6. Motivation - arousing and sustaining internet in learning
7.Mastery - internalization of learning
8.Measurement - evidence that learning took more.

With reference to the 8 M's of instruction one element is media, Another is material. These two M's (media, material) are actually the elements of the cone of experience.

The Bands in Dale's Cone of Experience
*Direct purposeful experiences- these refer to foundation of experiencing learning. *Contrived experiences- it is in the category that representations such as models, minitiates, or mock ups are used.
*Dramatized experiences - these are commonly used as activities that allows students to actively participate in a reconstructed experience through role playong or dramatization. *Demonstrations- a demonstration is the most appropriate experience. It is an actual execution of a procedure or a process.
*Study strips -these are actual visits to certain location to observe a situation of a case which may not be available wide the classroom.
*Exhibits- These are displays of model such as pictures, artifacts , posters among others that provide the message of information.
*Television and motion pictures - these technology equipment provide a two dimensional reconstruction of a reality.
*Still pictures , Recorders, radio- Still are pictures or images together in this category , are the audio- recorded materials or information broadcast through the radio.
*Visual symbols - these are more abstract representation of the concept of the information. *Verbal symbols- This category appears to be the most abstract because they may not exactly look like the concept or object they represent but are symbols, words , codes or formulas.
