Chapter 11

For both audio and visual technologies, identify one traditional and one emerging technology from the book, and explain how you could potentially use all four devices in the classroom.

Audio- One traditional technology is the audiocassettes. Teachers can use these to play a book so the students can hear the different characters voices and they don't have to listen to the teacher read the story to them.  One emerging technology is Internet radio. This can be used in the classroom in many ways. The big way this can be used is by the teacher finding an interview with an author how is going to come visit the school or the classroom. This is then able to help the students understand more information about the person.

Visual- One traditional technology is print materials. These are always helpful because they are a good source to rely on and there are many different activities that can be done with them. One emerging technology is a document camera. This is very helpful when the teacher is trying to explain a certain problem. I would use this to make sure all of my students were on the same page and following along with me. This can also be used to correct homework or complete worksheets because the paper can be projected up on the white board and the students can go up to the white board and answer the question.
