A traditional visual technology is a VCR. In a classroom you could use a VCR to watch traditional videos or movies that incorporate with a lesson plan, or record a TV show to show in class. A new technology is a Monitor -Mounted Video Camera. This could be used to record your students and their responses to your lesson. You could also record yourself as a teacher to remember what you covered in class and see what you need to improve on for the next class. When a student is giving a presentation you could record them in order to grade more efficiently instead of relying on notes or memory.
A traditional audio technology is a tape recorder. Students at the elementary level could listen to the tape player to substitute for a person reading to them. You can also use a tape recorder to record the children reading to you in an individual setting. When I tutored a class, the teacher told me to record each student reading so that parents could listen to their child's progress. A new audio technology is internet audio. Teachers could record is or her lessons and then put them online to a website or blog for students who may be absent. This will provide students with a way to keep on track especially if they miss a lot of school due to a severe illness.
