7. Visual “ For most learners, audio alone will not be sufficient to communicate content. Visuals are, for most learners a necessity.” Document cameras can capture live video, transparencies, 3d objects and can all be projected to a large group. Digital Projectors continue to expand and are more powerful, their costs are also going down. Internet videos are easy to access and contain a huge number of subjects. DVDs are easily stored and have high image quality.

8. Interesting modern Technologies Internet Radio Digital Projectors Document Cameras Digital Video Cameras- capture and store the target images in digital for mat that can be downloaded to a personal computer Compressed Video Teleconferencing- digitized video that can be transmitted with clear image and sound to different locations Live Cams- cameras connected to a computer and internet and can share live video of whatever it is pointed at.

9. Audiovisual technology in my Class Of the many ways to bring technology into the class audio visual is probably the greatest, not only because it reaches many learning types, but it is so readily available and everywhere that it impossible not to use it. From Document Cameras, to the world wide web audio and visual technology is everywhere! My personal favorites would be to do web streaming and many internet based audiovisual technologies, just for the simple fact that there is so much available in the internet. The other way I would use this was through Document Cameras, Digital projectors and MP3 players. I feel these three technologies are the most advanced right now and my students would gain the most knowledge from my use of these technologies.
