This unit introduced the different equipment and tools that can be used in the classroom. While many of these tools can make a teacher's workload lighter in the classroom, as different tools can help stimulate/engage students in more ways than just a whiteboard and marker, a teacher must still prepare and be responsible for the teaching to be effective and efficient. Some forms of preparation and being responsible are actions such as checking the equipment beforehand, practicing with the equipment, and checking the content's delivery through the selected medium. While equipment can be a crutch that enables lazy teachers, it can also be a stepping stone to more efficient language learning, for example: using an OHP or IWB to present material in interactive ways while using a camera for students to create "content' that they can analyze and assess. In a single class, more than one tool can be used. Since each tool provides different support and can stimulate/engage in different ways, using more than one in a class is my recommendation.
