Chapter 11

As a language teacher, using audio visual technology is essential.  I could use traditional audio technology like cassette tape players and recorders to tape students speaking and be able to play it back later.  I could also use newer technology such as internet audio, and MP3 formatted audio to help students practice spanish listening skills.  I will need to use visual technology as well, such as the traditional overhead projectors to show documents to the entire class.  If I lucky, though I might have newer document projection technology such as a document camera that I can use to show the entire class documents and small objects. Using these tools will help  my teaching and better engage the students.
