Audio Technology.
- Audiocassettes are now becoming less popular in the classrooms while CDs and DVDs are becoming more popular in the classrooms. Teachers can still use audiocassettes in the classroom with creating small groups to teach something, because they come with headphones. Audiocassettes can also be used for the whole class with recordings that were made back then, that cannot be found in the form of CDs. CDs and DVDs can be used in the classroom for read-alongs in the textbooks, giving the students the feeling of how the characters actually are. CDs can also be uploaded online, giving the teachers a chance to give the students homework if a teacher only has a class set of a certain book.
Video Technology.
- Overhead projectors are becoming less popular in the classrooms while the document camera is emerging. Overhead projectors can be used the classrooms to display worksheet transparencies, such as pictures. The document camera can be used to display real time images and 3D objects. They can also be used to show class notes and make it easier for students to see since document cameras a zoom feature. With document cameras, teacher wouldn't have to worry about making transparent copies of worksheets.
