Many suggestions are given for directly involving students in the various forms of the media. Instamatic cameras, tape recorders, 35mm cameras, videotape recorders, Super 8 cameras, phonograph players, and film projectors are some pieces of equipment typically available to schools which can be used creatively by students. In addition to making films or illustrating themes through the use of still camera shots, unlimited possibilities are seen in various combinations of media forms. The active experimenting of students with these forms, if given structure and direction by the teacher, are said to be the type of learning experience that provides a needed lift in any subject. (CL)
