Chapter 11

 Identify one traditional and one emerging technology from the book, and explain how you could potentially use all four devices in the classroom.


Audio technologies:
A traditional technology is the tape recorder. For an emerging technology, the tape recorder has updated to the iPod. Both of these could be used in the classroom. The tape recorder could be used in the classroom because, for example, if a teacher talks too fast, the student could record them and go back through after and make efficient notes. An iPod could be used in the classroom to download eBooks on, or use it for simple things such as a quick internet research or a calculator. 


Visual Technologies:
A traditional technology is the bulletin board. An emerging technology is a smart board. Both of these could also be used in the classroom. The bulletin board could be used in order to display permanent messages or weekly messages that everyone in the classroom needs to see. On the other hand, the smart board could be used on a day to day bases in order to show the topic of interest for that day.
