The definition of educational media is anything that can channel and convey messages from sources such as people, materials, equipment or activities to create conditions for recipients (students) to successfully complete the learning process. Principles of teaching: 1) The method used by the teacher must be appropriate and oriented towards achieving learning objectives. 2) The media used must be relevant to the subject matter. 3) Teaching tools must be in accordance with the interests, perseverance, and circumstances of students. 4) The media used must focus on effectiveness and efficiency. 5) The support used must be in accordance with the work ability of the teacher. Teaching is more effective because teaching tools make it easier for students to understand and deepen the material presented to them and create coherent understanding that maximizes achievement and improves student outcomes and skills.
