Media workstation : planning for media use

Abstract

Teachers often complain that media is not always available to use in lessons. Only one overhead projector to share among all the staff, if any at all. The slide projector is old and jams often. Only one television room, and that and its video are constantly booked by those teachers whose lessons depend on the medium. Even printing facilities are limited, with restrictions on the number of photocopies made per teacher, and stenciling just does not get the job done well. And only a few schools have invested in image reproducing equipment. Computers and ways of projecting what's on their screen? Forget it.
