A training seminar in the use of media (primarily videotape) was conducted by the Southern Regional Media Center for the Deaf in July 1971 for directors of 40 early childhood centers. The following were representative goals of the program: (1) familiarize institute participants with various form of media equipment, (2) provide an opportunity to practice using some of the equipment, (3) expose the participants to model dissemination programs, (4) demonstrate two or three programs, already using media for instructional purposes, (5) demonstrate how to use television to diagnose children's performance and to evaluate a program, and (5) expose participants to creative uses of media with normal children. Seminar proceedings were evaluated in terms of progress made toward each goal. Uses of media related to affective and cognitive instructional goals, dissemination packages, program evaluation, and preservice and inservice training which were discussed during the institute were summarized. Results of an opinionnaire given before and after the institute to assess changes in attitudes were tabulated. Appendixes include forms inviting directors to the institute and soliciting data on priority needs of program directors, questionnaire responses, program schedules, and a roster of institute participants, consultants, and staff.
