LYNNE: Yes,but there's a final category aswell...computers,that make up the socalled electronicmedia.In the United Kingdom and Australia,they saythat one in three families has a computer now.
ROBIN: Yes,I believe it.Well that's a good list tostart with...we're really getting somewhere with thisessay now...so let's move on to when each type ofmedium could be used.I guess we could start bytrying to identify the best situation for each type ofmedia.
LYNNE: What do you mean?
ROBIN: I'm talking about whether each medium should be used with different sizedgroups.For example,we could look at pictures,and ask whether they're more useful for anindividual child,a few children together or a full class - in this case,I'd say pictures are best withindividual children,because they give them an opportunity to let their imaginations run wild.
LYNNE: Yes,I see...
ROBIN: Let s take tapes next.
