Learning with and from media and technology students can learn through the following such as television, computers, and radio.

LEARNING WITH TELEVISION.

Television differs in several ways from books that may affect cognitive structures and processes. As with books, television can employ pictures, diagrams, and other representational symbol systems but in TV these symbols are transient and able to depict motion.

Learning with television, a teacher can use television as tool to facilitate learning to the students.

A students getting material into television through visual and hear.

LEARNING WITH COMPUTERS.

Computers can juxtapose, or transform, information in one symbol system to that in another a learner can type in printed text and a computer with a voice synthesizer can transform it into speech (Dickson, 1985).

Computer is like a tool which used to facilitate learning whereby a teacher can use a computer as source of material, for example a students can learn how to type or how to search material.
