Engaging learners is key to effective teaching. While lecture alone is less engaging, audiovisual technology can help build cognitive connections to content by appealing to multiple senses. There are many traditional and digital options for audio and visual media in the classroom, including document cameras, which allow anything placed on the table to be projected for all students to see simultaneously without crowding. Document cameras are useful for science experiments and other visual demonstrations. When using video, teachers should evaluate relevance, accuracy, engagement, and technical quality, and obtain consent if filming students. Proper implementation requires testing equipment, adjusting settings, and creating guides.
