Educational screen & audio-visual guide (c1956-1971])

TOM L. BURDICK, of East Aurora Schools, New York, has developed a fine little projectionist's pin that is given as an award to student projectionists who complete a prescribed period of service in the schools of East Aurora. Why not write him about the design of his pin if you are considering something of this nature for your own school system? BOYD LINDROP, who is audiovisual coordinator for the South Gate High School in Los Angeles, came by for a visit during the course of a 20,000 mile coast-to-coast and north-tosouth "Sabbatical" tour of the nation. Boyd, a former assistant to Dean McClusky at U.C.L..\., has visited audiovisual centers in scores of cities and universities during the course of his trip. His general report is that audiovisual is decidedly looking up. Everywhere, everybody is expanding programs or planning for expanding programs. Like most of the rest of us, lie was especially impressed with the extent of the facilities for St. Louis schools and for the Cleveland schools. ROBERT PAULSON has been appointed director of Audio-Visual Education at Iowa State Teachers College during the absence of Wally Gjerde while he completes work on a doctorate at the State University of Iowa. Incidentally, Wally is the one who takes the part of the school principal in the new DAVI film, Audio-Visual School Service Plan. MEL RIZZIE, head of the audiovisual division of the Silver-Burdett Publishing Company, reports that this division has been discontinued as a separate division. A company decision to limit the amount of future production of audio-visual materials was responsible for this change. Teacher Education D.WI recommendations for an evaluation schedide for audio-visual education in teacher education institutions were placed before the American Association of Colleges for Teacher Education at a conference December 13. Representing DAVI at the conference were Bill Fulton, co-chairman of the D.WI National Committee on Teacher Education, and Ann Hyer, assistant secretary of the Department. If accepted by the AACTE for inclusion among the criteria which are used in accrediting teacher education institutions, the DAVI proposals will represent the greatest single step that has been made in recent years to secure adequate recognition of the need for emphasis on audio -visual materials and methods in teacher education institutions.
