2. 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.

3. 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.

4. 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.
