Using broadcasts

The ASE Using Broadcasts booklet was published in 1970 and reflects the availability of different technologies to help teaching and learning at that time. It focuses on the use of radio broadcasts and the follow up work that can arise from them. In particular it suggests that broadcasts with their resources of sound effects and visual materials offer special potential for less able children who may struggle with the written work. A sign of the times is that it warns that television can give rise to more difficulties than all the other techniques (such as radio, 8mm film loop, and slide projector).

This book, more than others in the series, discusses methods of using the resources. The Appendix provides addresses of school broadcasting bodies and sources of technical help.
