Videotape and Special Education
Audiovisual Instruction, Nov. 1969, v. 14, no. 9, p. 30
A proposal for possible uses of the simultaneous feedback of videotape in "special education"(30) for youth with developmental problems. Describing his experience taping and then playing back a performance at a New Brunswick college, the author suggests that video allows viewer/participants to "cybernate"(30) an event rather than merely observe, creating an opportunity to control one's own actions and body language due to the playback that allows one to see those actions almost as they are performed. Referencing McLuhan, the author sees an opportunity to "turn on"(30) disadvantaged, gifted and handicapped youth to their own situations via video.
