An Analysis Of The Rules Describing The Use Of Subordination, Mildred Eastwood Mcbride

Subordination is not Mt. Everest, but neither is it a molehill which can be covered in one easy step, and this is what our textbooks try to do. Unfortunately, there is no single easy way to teach the use of subordination, and this paper cannot offer any positive remedy for the inadequacies of our college handbooks. It will, however, discuss the varieties of opinions about the subject, explore several possible approaches, and offer some suggestions for a changed method of teaching subordination to our students.

Video Tape Recording: What It Is And How It Can Be Used In The Schools, Donald Bryant Frankhauser
Video Tape Recording: What It Is And How It Can Be Used In The Schools, Donald Bryant Frankhauser
Graduate Student Research Papers
I feel the video tape recorder will have a very definite place in the schools. It will be one of our audiovisual aids, just as television, the 16mm. projector and others.

It is not an instrument to take the place of the teacher, but, like all audiovisual equipment, is a tool to help the teacher do a more effective job.
