Laser discs

[Susan Carter <sscarter@DBTECH.NET>]

I, too, have found teachers are not too interested when they discover laser
discs are not like videotapes--put it in and push play.

I saw a great idea at a vendor display.  The concept was to make an
independent learning center.  The example was a disc on the human body.
The barcodes had been copied, cut out and glued on a cardboard skeleton
(the kind you see at halloween).  When the students scanned a body part,
they viewed the pertinent section of the disc.  I think she also had a
crossword puzzle with barcodes again copied beside the clues to lead
students to the appropriate section of the disc for the answers.  When you
think in terms of the learning center approach and copying/pasting the
barcodes, this opens up lots of possibilities.

Because they loved it and repeated it so often, the students learned the
material quite well.  This would be useful in a classroom or library.
