This paper examines the place of educational media in the effective Utilization of
the new curriculum module in Nigeria. It equally delves into the historical
development of Educational Technology as well as its application with the aim
of solving the problem which teacher encounter during the utilization of the new
curriculum module. This paper observes that these educational media are meant
to appeal to learners’ sense of touch, smell, sight and hearing. At the same time,
they are useful supplement to direct verbal communication in the classroom,
because people tend to forget what they are told but are more likely to remember
the experiences which they gain by examining and manipulating objects or
representing them in the form of drawing, photographs and all the likes. Among

more productive through increasing learning by providing worthwhile
experiences for the learners that teachers alone may or cannot furnish.
