Chapter 11

The traditional audio and video technologies I have selected are the video cassette/DVD and books on tape. I know at least in the case of the books on tape, they are often used in elementary school classrooms. Students can use them to read along in a book as it play to them. After they read these books, I would be able to show the students a video on what they just read with a DVD. This will allow students to have a full understanding of what they are being taught. The two emerging technologies I have chosen are MP3's and streaming videos. For MP3's I could record my lessons on in an MP3 format and allow my students to download the lesson MP3's in case they miss class or need to review. For streaming videos, we are all familiar with just how effective youtube or other online videos can be when looking for visual aids, or something else to help get a point across during a lecture of lesson.
