Question 1:
   I would prefer to teach in a classroom with Digital Technologies. The possibilities for expanding the students learning techniques are enormous. Digital Technology would help students learn in and out of the classroom in many ways depending on the class. Let's say you were in a class that wasn't understanding the concept you were teaching, if you had Electronic Whiteboards in your classroom you could very easily use spontaneous teaching explanations to help the students learn the material in a different way that may help them in the long run. The only thing that would be the downfall to Digital Technology is the distractions in the classroom, if you get your students interested in the subject by using the technology I feel that this would not be a problem.

Question 2:
   For the Audio technology, one traditional learning aspect could be your everyday headphones plugged into a computer. New emerging Audio Technology could be the Internet Radio. For the Visual Technology, a traditional Visual Technology would be a Overhead Projector. New emerging Technology would be a Document Camera.
   All of these are very useful in the classroom. You can use any of these very easily and they would all be effective. The Audio Technology can help in many ways by blocking out background noise or helping a student with one on one learning. The Visual Technology can also be very effective by helping students with projects or project outlines. You can use both of these for showing students assignments at the front of the class and helping them out with additional information.
