Sue Davidoff and Owen van den Berg (1990) suggest four steps: plan, teach / act, observe and reflect. Here are some guidelines for each step.
Students learn better and more quickly if the teaching methods used match their preferred learning styles.
As learning improves, so too does self esteem. This has a further positive effect on learning.
Students who have become bored with learning may become interested once again.
The student-teacher relationship can improve because the student is more successful and is more interested in learning.
McCarthy (1980) described students as innovative learners, analytic learners, common sense learners or dynamic learners

What is Media?
In general, "media" refers to various means of communication. For example, television, radio, and the newspaper are different types of media. The term can also be used as a collective noun for the press or news reporting agencies. In the computer world, "media" is also used as a collective noun, but refers to different types of data storage options. Computer media can be hard drives, removable drives (such as Zip disks), CD-ROM or CD-R discs, DVDs, flash memory, USB drives, and yes, floppy disks. For example, if you want to bring your pictures from your digital camera into a photo processing store, they might ask you what kind of media your pictures are stored on. Are they on the flash memory card inside your camera or are they on a CD or USB drive? For this and many other reasons, it is helpful to have a basic understanding of what the different types of media are.
Advantage and disadvantage of media
The media may play these roles, but whether or not they play them to the advantage or disadvantage of the democratic process, is a question that could be answered in many ways. To begin, one might want to look at ways in which media work to the advantage of democracy. One very important way, is that media keeps the nation updated on what is going on with our government, acting as a "natural link between the public and [its] leaders" (-"Understanding the Role of Media").
