in the Classroom
Next to the home and school, I believe television to have a more
profound influence on the human race than any other medium of
communication.

very powerful. Dale says they can:
Transmit a wide range of audio.
Bring models of excellence to the viewer.
Bring world of reality to the home and to the
classroom through a live broadcast or as
mediated through film or videotape.
Make us see and hear for ourselves world
events as they happen.

appealing to a wide variety of age and
educational level.
Become a great equalizer of educational
opportunity because programs can be
presented over national and regional
networks.
