Audio Visual Learning
- 1. Audiovisual Technologies Teaching that is more interactive and multisensory is usually more effective. The experience of a lesson is more engaging when it is delivered with audio and visual support. The idea is to provide learners the ability to cognitively connect to the material being taught.
- 2. Audio Media One form of Audiovisual technology in education is of course Audio in teaching. Technology incorporated in teaching with “Audio” is; Audio cassettes- allow teacher to record their own voice, lectures, music or any sound to present to the students
- 3. Broadcast Audio- This is audio received through the radio. National Public Radio offers a variety of educational listening opportunities such as discussions and music.
- 4. Digital Audio The main form of digital audio is compact disks, and DVD's. These are very effective in the classroom because they are clear and can hold a lot of information
- 5. Visual, for most learners, are a necessity. A few types of visuals are; Real objects- anything that provides a visual description of what it being taught. Ex; chalkboards, flip charts, or photographs.
- 6. Projected Visuals- this includes overhead, and digital projectors. These project images and text on to a board large enough for the entire class to view Visual Technologies
- 7. Videos in Education Often there are great videos commercially available to educators to support what they are teaching. If there isn't anything available home made videos can also be a great tool. In order for Videos to be educational is is important to make sure the learner is fully involved. Prepare the students by reviewing the concepts the video presents. Video study guides are also a great idea to keep students focused during the video
- 8. In the classroom I know going through school I have seen teachers use all of these forms of Audio/Visual Technologies. I know that in my future classroom it will be necessary to use things such as digital projectors, movies, CD's, Chalkboards, and everything mentioned in the previous slides. It is critical for learning for students to be presented with alternative forms of stimulation.
