Working in groups, share with the class the textbook definition of the terms above.

5. Technologies in Education
Audio—addresses the needs of the auditory learner and adds dimension to instruction for all learners
Visual—content is articulated, clarified, and enhanced visually
Digital—continue to replace traditional audio/visual media

6. Why use audio, visual, and digital technologies in teaching?
Engage more of the learners senses
Build multiple cognitive connection to the content
Address the auditory or visual strengths of many students
Give some examples of technologies you have seen used in college or school classrooms.

7. Listening vs Focused Listening
Listening—being able to hear and comprehend auditory stimuli
Hearing—the physical process of correctly receiving clear, audible sounds
Focused Listening—Giving one’s full attention to an auditory stimulus
What are some things teachers can do to ensure students are focused listening?

8. Traditional Audio Media
Cassette tapes
Reinforce instruction/practice
Broadcast audio
National Public Radio
National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (weather service broadcasts)
How would YOU use these technologies in your classroom?

9. How would YOU use these technologies in your classroom?
Digital Audio Media
Optical Media
CDs and DVDs
Internet Audio
Download/store what you need rather than buying CD
Internet Radio
Live and recorded programs from around world
Can enhance language, social studies, science, etc.
Can be broadcast for entire class, group, or individual
How would YOU use these technologies in your classroom?

10. Visual Technologies Types of Visuals
Educators must select the most effective and appropriate visual technology for the content under study. Lever-Duffy, p. 294.
Types of Visuals
Non-projected
Real objects, models, exhibits, printed materials, photos
Projected
Overhead projector/transparency, digital projector, document camera

11. Elements of Effective Visual Design
Relevance
Coherence
Consistency
Proportion
Contrast
Unity and Direction
The same guidelines for creating effective transparencies are applicable to posters, flyers, slideshows, and/or other visuals.
Minimal text (7 lines by 7 words)
Eliminate unnecessary detail
Include simple graphics that add interest

12. Multimedia in Teaching and Learning
Multimedia includes text, graphics, audio, and/or video
Photograph
Simple clipart
Video clip with sound

13. Traditional Video Technologies
Broadcast video
Television (including instructional television)
Cablecast video
Cable channels that offer instructional programming
Recorded video technologies
VCRs and camcorders
Capture video images of field trips, your teaching, etc.
Record special events, reports, debates, documentaries
Create a video historical or cultural archive of the school or community

14. Digital Video Technologies
Captures and displays high quality sounds and images
DVDs
Digital video camera
Compressed video systems
Bring live, fully interactive instruction from one location to the next
Distant guest speakers visit classrooms without travel
Image and sound are as clear as broadcast vides
Both locations must have appropriate equipment
Particularly useful for distance learning

15. Internet Video Internet Broadcasts Live Cams Internet Meetings
Live events and performances
Musicals, interviews, scientific or historic events
Live Cams
A camera connected to a computer that is connected to the Internet
Internet Meetings
Face to face meetings with people around the world
Classes can meet in a single virtual classroom to share ideas, experience instruction, and communicate

16. Implementing Video in Instruction
Preplan
Preview and evaluate video before presentation
Prepare the environment AND the students
Make the video relevant to the students
Pre-post test
Study guides
Questions/discussion after video
Note-taking requirements
Inform students that test will include questions from video
Follow all copyright laws and fair use guidelines

17. REMEMBER . . .
The power of the Internet can put the world body of knowledge quite literally at one’s fingertips. A computer in a classroom can be an endlessly patient and positive tutor. An audio recording of a children’s story can encourage the development of good listening skills and meet the needs of auditory learners, and a nature video can bring the most remote corner of the world into the classroom.
