Chapter 11 Response

In my future classroom I would use a talking book for traditional audio media. They are helpful because students are able to hear how a certain text is supposed to sound. I have used them when reading plays and found them to be very useful. They could be used to help students who are having trouble with reading or reading comprehension. I would also optical media such as a DVD in my classroom. When doing a project, students could make a movie as part of their presentation and use a DVD to show it to the class. A form of non-projected visuals I would use is print materials. Print materials can be used with worksheets or reading the excerpt of a textbook. Having print materials can also be useful when making diagrams along with giving students the opportunity to work individually on an assignment. In my class I would use a document camera as a form of a projected visual. While teaching a lesson, I could display the document or assignment on the board for everyone to see. These are helpful because 3-D objects and other manipulatives can be displayed in their actual form, whereas on a normal overhead projector the image would be skewed.
