System of the Future Sitting in a classroom, the teacher informs the class that a VCR tape will be viewed. She then picks up the phone. The phone? To an outsider, that action would seem extremely unusual. But to a PHS student, it is perfectly normal. The PracTek System has made au- dio-visual education easier, and more available to both teachers and students. Last year we had one or two VCR ' s. This year we have access to ten via the PracTek system, Li- brary Dr. Carol Mann said. She is also su- pervisor of the sys- tem. The teachers still have control of the program, just as if the VCR were in the room. Also, the sound comes through the PA speakers, much bet- ter than a cassette recorder, Mann said. Overall, teachers seem to agree that the system is much easier and effec- tive. The PracTek system is a break- through. It has made audio-visual teaching 100 times simpler, history teacher Richard Jackson said, uenny Downs) Supervisor of the PracTek system. Dr. Mann receives a call to begin a film. The PracTek played a vital role in audio-visual education. Library worker David Pope prepares a television program for a classroom.
