Warning! Low-Tech!!

Thought I would share a bulletin board that I've been wanting to do for years but just got around to.  Here's my "Media - Old and New" board:


Hopefully you can see most of the items.  Here's a list:
Top - reel to reel audio, vinyl 45, vinyl album, cassette, 8-track tape, CD
Bottom - Edison Cylinder Phonograph, an old "View-master", reel film, slides, film strip, VHS, laserdisc, DVD

Once the board has been up for 2 weeks and the student's are still curious, I'm going to put up cards that describe each item and when it was invented.  And (sadly), I have had experience with almost every one of these items in my lifetime!  (Maybe not the Edison - I'm not that old!)

Thanks! The Edison belongs to our science teacher. That was a real treat to be able to show the kids.

What a great idea to have all different kinds of formats! I'm amazed you have the Edison. Thank you to science teachers that save and share. Norma

Hey...I like that idea. Wish I had heard of it before I got rid of all my old equipment. Shucks.
