Materials can be both extremely effective and accessible, but poor utilization by teachers may restrict the effectiveness. A chronic problem dealt with by in-service groups is how to make more effective use of existing materials and equipment rather than contriving new tools which may be more accessible but less effective. It is important to inove teaching tools along on both the "A" and the "E" line toward the plus end. If materials cannot be movetl from the negative end of the "E" line then efforts to make this media more accessible are futile. If a tool is found to be extremely accessible, further efforts to promote its use should be postponed until it is shown that effective use is evident. The media found to be most effective requires constant effort to make it more readily available.
