Some teachers, not all, used PowerPoint presentations when lecturing. Overhead projectors were still used to show images, and other documents. VCRs and DVD players were used to show educational films.
10. College technology In College, PowerPoint's were used much more frequently. Document cameras are used in a few lecture halls, and overhead projectors in smaller classrooms.
