Overhead Projector: Used by teachers to display transparencies pertaining to content in different subject areas.
VCR: (videocassette recorder) is still used by some teachers to play movies stored on videocassette tapes.
Desktop Computer/Laptops: Teachers use desktop computers and/or laptops to prepare classroom
materials, lesson plans, and presentations, search for information online, perform administrative tasks (e.g.,record grades), enrich teaching with supplemental resources (e.g., educational software, video clips, audio clips, pictures, and online resources), carry out student projects, and communicate with students and parents.
Students use desktop computers and/or laptops to search for information, word-process documents (e.g., book reports and essays), complete classroom activities and homework assignments, prepare and deliver presentations, create portfolios, take tests, and communicate with others.
Multimedia Cart with Projector: In many U.S. classrooms, teachers use a multimedia cart comprised of a laptop, speakers, and a projector to display educational materials and deliver presentations to their class.
Scanner: Teachers often use a scanner to scan documents and images into the computer (i.e., create digital images of these) and incorporate the scanned items into classroom presentations and materials.
CD/DVD Player: Both teachers and students use CD-ROM/DVD-ROM players to read CDs and DVDs. The latter may contain educational software, classroom materials, music, and movies.
MP3 Player: MP3 players are used to play mp3 files (e.g., podcasts and music).
Smartboard and/or Interactive Whiteboard: Used in the classroom to replace traditional whiteboards and allow users to control the computer using a pen, finger, or other device. They typically allow users to save demonstrations and writing on the computer. Some allow teachers to record their teaching sessions as vido files.
