Why we need?

Video and audio needs to be more involved in the classroom teaching. It allows children to experience different ways of learning. Students can really step out the box about what is the norm of learning. Video has been develop so advance that children can see how other children learn without being where they are located. Video and audio helps children with disabilities in so many ways also. With all the new technology and skills of teaching video and audio can make it easier on teachers to get the needed and extra information to the children faster and clearer.

Why do we need video?

Videos usage in the classroom allows a student to retain more information, understand concepts more rapidly, and are more enthusiastic about what they are learning(NTTI,2012). Having video in the room keep students connected to curriculum topics easier, discover links between topics, and the world outside the classroom. Video allows children to learn things away from the classroom and experience different kinds of learning when teaching through video. Everything cannot be experience in the classroom that is where video helps it become easier to do.

What can audiobooks do for learning?

Audiobooks in classroom will help engage your readers to want to read more. Audiobooks support literature study, encourage students to like literature and help their reading skills. Audiobooks allows child to control how fast they get the information and if they need to repeat the information allow the to go back and hear again. For difficultly books it can assist the students with reading and vocabulary. Audiobooks can bridge the gap between comprehension better reading skills. With today students anything that is going to better the teaching of things for students is so greatly needed in the classroom.
