What equipment do I need?

In addition to a computer (Windows, Mac or Linux) you’ll need some additional equipment to display the media examples in a class or group presentation:

You will need powered speakers to amplify the sound of the video and audio clips.  For most classrooms or small groups, good quality stand-alone computer speakers should work fine.  For larger groups, connect your computer’s audio (headphone) output to a more powerful amplifier/speaker system or P.A. 

We recommend using a video projector (also known as an LCD projector) to display the pictures and video clips on a projection screen.  Video projectors are available at some libraries and in-school computer labs.  For small groups, a large computer monitor may be adequate. 

A projection screen or light-colored wall helps to present a bright, readable image. 

If your kit includes articles or documents as media examples, you will need a printer (and perhaps a photocopier) to make copies you can hand out.

If your kit includes a website as a media example, learners will need access to computers with Internet access.
