Teaching Aids

In the past the only visual aid available for teachers to use in the classroom used to be a fixed or portable black-board. Very rarely teachers with the help of some brilliant students used to prepare hand- written charts for display on the classroom walls. Once hanged in place, they were there for years and their efficacy, Purpose and usefulness were virtually eroded.

The development of modern teaching techniques has revolutionized the schooling system at every Functional level. The teaching activity is no more restricted to the delivery of boring facts. It has changed into a lively and inspiring means of mutual communication. The essentials of classroom management skills include audio- visual aids and all sorts of other teaching materials.
