Lesson 2 - Theories and Principles Supporting Educational Technology: Edgar Dale'S Cone of Experience Home-Based Task 2
3. Do the basis of experiences (e.g direct experiences, contrived experience, etc.) follow a
rigid, inflexible pattern? Or is it more correct to think that Cone overlaps and bends into
one another?
4. Does the Cone of Experience device mean that all teaching and learning must move

6. Can we over emphasize the number of direct experiences that is required to learn a new

2. Now that there is a great deal of ICT tools and applications used in enriching the lesson,
how would you explain its potential use in instruction and where will you categorize it
on the cone?
