8 B WEDNESDAY, MARCH 8. 1961 MEDFOHD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD, ORE. Audio-Visual Aids Replacing Tools Of Yesterday in Nation's Schools New York -flJPD- Th Ameri can teacher unlll recently was the only professional per on required to work with yesterday's tools books, blackboard, chalk. The Implement armament now Is catching up with the communications' revolution 0 the last BO years. Educators call the academic additions audio-visual aids films, language laboratories, closed-circuit and broadcast television, slides and teaching machines, for example. The electronics aaauions are meant to give Junior and Janie the best chance to learn the most and most effici ently. A report in "The Nation's Schools," a journel for school administrators, hails the swing to audio-visuals and bids it full steam. Held Non-Eiiential Don- White, executive vice president of the national au dlo-visual association, one of the experts reporting on the "revolution," recalled five years ago at the White House conference on education such tools were regarded as non essentials . . .In the same class as swimming pools. "The next decade," he said, "will see more materials of every type more readily avail able and on every, subject in the curriculum. ' ''Equipment will be simp ler to operate, easier to tran sport, and designed for eas ier' maintenance. New items of equipment, some not yet conceived, some now on the drawing boards, will become reality." White said ten yoara ago, educatidnal TV was little more than a dream in the minds, of forward-looking ed ucators. Now it is an every day teaching tool. And! only three years ago, you . could count on the fin gers of one hand the language laboratories in s e c o n dary schools. Now a whole new way of teaching languages has been developed by language teach ers, In cooperation with equip ment manufacturers. Thous ands of language laboratories now are in use, with thous ands more on the way. Trnmendoua Value White said the teaching machine a kind of tutorial robot is a tool of tremen dous value. But he cautioned that teach ing machine manufacturers and experts are urging that adequate time be allowed for an experimental period be fore teaching machines are rushed into production. in theory, any subject that can be verbalized can be pro grammed for a teaching ma chine. Right now such sub jects as mathematics and the sciences are more easily pro grammed since they must be taught in a readily identified sequence. "To some extent," White said, "language laboratories suffered from being rushed into volume production, and sales were made before man ufacturers were completely ready with finished and test ed designs. This same thing can happen to teaching ma chines but its effects can be worse." Other tools in the teacher's audio-visual stockpile: The opaque projector directly projects anything from a postage stamp to a magazine page. More than 90 per cent of all printed or written materials can be projected by means of this device. It's used in a room with subdued lighting so stu dents can take notes. Large Transparencies Overhead p r o j e c tors show large transparencies and can be operated by the teacher at the front of the room. Thus, the visual ana oral elements of a lesson can be correlated. Filmstrip projectors with sound track present an audio visual program with the push of a button. Magnetic sound projec tors make it possible for the teacher to produce his own motion pictures or to add a special sound track to tailor a particular film to spicial needs. There's only one hitch to the audio-visual tidal wava sweeping on the nation's schools. Few of the teachers are electrical engineers or very mechanically inclin ed. The equipment requires servicing. White said the industry has faced up to this problem by establishing a nationwida network of specialized deal ers who provide electronic and mechanical service.
