Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to present some of the elements a resource room teacher must consider to successfully implement the use of media in a classroom. Elements to be discussed include (a) needs of individual students, (b) degree to which each student is mainstreamed, (c) the continual process of re-evaluation, (d) availability of equipment and materials, and (e) the interaction of regular teachers, the resource room teacher, and the media personnel. In addition, the fact that there will be times when an individual teacher will have to make do with whatever materials are available will also be discussed. The role of media in a resource room is an ever-changing one which will require constant cultivation.
