Chapter 9

                  In this chapter I learned about audiovisual technologies. I thought it was interesting learning about broadcast audio. I agree that it could enhance learning with current events. I could see myself using the radio for international news and national news. It is awesome that these sites are available. I liked that throughout this chapter it showed examples of good visual communication and what to look for when deciding if it is a good visual or not. I am a visual learner and organization is a huge thing that I look for while learning and studying. When I need to memorize concepts I always make flash cards to help visualize the information. I also learned about felt boards while reading and I also learned about flip charts. It is nice to be reminded of all of these different ideas because I feel when you are teaching older students teachers tend to be basic and boring. I definitely think bringing technology and awesome visuals will make my classroom stand out and make my students entertained and intrigued!

                  There was a lot of information I learned about video cameras on line. I just downloaded SKYPE and I think it is a great free program to use. It could be used in the classroom if a student it at home and can be at school. This could be a great way that I could help them if they were too sick to come to school. I would enjoy using video technology in my classroom. I could also have parent meetings through Skype if parents are unavailable to come to the school.
