Utilization The utilization of audio-visual aids is a further function which receives constant attention at Newark. Study guides by personnel of the Department of Libraries, Visual Aids, and Radio accompany all films and many of the recordings which are used in the schools. Suggestions for teacher and class preparation for the use of aids to learning are incorporated in catalogs and other publications of the central office. The inclusion of audio-visual aids in courses of study and units of work is a practice that is especially rewarding because of the more intelligent selection and use by teachers of such aids in classroom work. Talks by staff members to teacher groups and circulation of such motion pictures as Britannica’s Using the Classroom Film assist in the program of in-service training for teacher use of audio-visual aids. Demonstrations which serve to introduce teachers to new films, slides, or recordings are repeatedly employed to keep teachers abreast of the resources of the expanding library of audio-visual materials of instruction. Summary Through selection, evaluation, a n d distribution procedures, the office of the Newark Department of Libraries, Visual Aids, and Radio makes available to the seventy schools of the system a lending collection of motion pictures, lantern slides, filmslides, music records and radio transcriptions. Individual schools have limited libraries of lantern slides, filmslides, and mounted pictures for display and opaque-projection purposes. The Newark Museum’s service offers exhibits, specimens, models, and objects for school use. The Newark Public Library offers a mounted-picture collection of thousands of subjects. Nearly every acceptable type of audio-visual aid to learning is within easy access of every Newark teacher. The employment of the teaching aid to fit each classroom situation that arises is a matter merely of selecting, from the wealth of materials available, the correct tool for learning.
