Film, video, and TV are powerful tools that can transmit audio and visual models of excellence to viewers. However, they are one-way communication devices that can encourage passivity in students due to their small screen sizes. When using these tools in the classroom, teachers should prepare the environment, set goals for pre-viewing activities, avoid interrupting during viewing, and follow up with questions to assess what students learned and summarize the lesson.
