Chapter 11 Audiovisual Technologies

One type of traditional audio technology used in a classroom are audio cassette tapes. I would use them in my classroom for students that may have difficulty reading on their own or understanding what is being read. Cassette tapes can be used to listen to recorded stories, or also could use them to record other important audio. It would allow students to be able to listen to the cassette to help with an assignment and learn at their own pace. One type of emerging audio would be the internet radio. I would use internet radio in my classroom to listen to when students are working on assignments at their desks, for example when they are coloring or doing fun projects. For traditional visual print materials or VHS tapes are included. I would use these in my classroom by referring to a story or other activities we might be doing. It would allow students that are not the best at understanding readings to visually see what is occurring in the story. For emerging visual it would be document cameras. I would use document cameras in my classroom to show students what things look like up close, for example if we would do an experiment they could use it to look more in-depth.
