Indiana University, was recommended. The Electronics Industry Association reportedly will distribute 20,000 copies of a new book on ETV fundamentals authored by Philip Lewis, director of instructional materials for the Chicago public schools (also technical director of Educational Screen and Audiovistial Guide). There was interesting discussion on the role of visuals" in educational TV. One production consultant stated his preference for holding a dynamic TV teacher on camera full face by the hour rather than bring in a lot of distracting visuals." Miss Mitchell and Mr. Balanoff, on the other hand, stressed the use of good visuals. There was no support for the idea that TV could or should attempt the whole job of the student's instruction, much less his education. Cooperation in an atmosphere of mutual respect was the accepted answer to teacher-producer relations; as teachers increase their familiarity with the medium and its techniques they are expected to take a more active positive interest in TV teaching and to improve their contributions to its results. In his keynote address, superintendent Michael stressed the need for greater investment in "tools of instruction." He did not expect CCTV to save money, but did look to it for "better quality education." It would re-deploy and re-orientate teachers but not replace them. This was not, in his opinion, a panacea to overcome all present classroom problems but, with television tape making possible the storage of "superlative" teaching, TV should make a substantial contribution to better schooling. In the future, he felt, students would spend 40 percent of their time in individual training, 20 percent in small groups of 10 to 15, and 40 percent in large group situations. The conference wound up with a recommendation that further meetings of this type be arranged, preferably with each CCTV craft "pro" accompanied by a classroom teacher involved in TV lesson production and/or use.
