With the advent of digital technologies,
A) audio and video support technologies were no longer considered valid media.
B) digital audio and video technologies joined more traditional technologies as supports for instruction.
C) research proved that nondigital technologies were less effective in instructional support.
D) tradition audio and video technologies were eliminated from classrooms.
I believe the answer is B, but I just wanted a second opinion.
I agree.
To determine the correct answer, let's analyze the question and the provided options. The question is asking about the impact of digital technologies on audio and video support technologies. You believe the correct answer is B, but let's examine all the options to be sure:
A) This option suggests that audio and video support technologies were no longer considered valid media. However, there is no evidence presented in the question to support this claim, so it is not a strong option.
B) This option suggests that digital audio and video technologies joined more traditional technologies as supports for instruction. It aligns with the idea that digital technologies complemented rather than replaced traditional audio and video support technologies, which makes it a plausible choice.
C) This option claims that research proved that nondigital technologies were less effective in instructional support. However, no information is provided in the question about any research results, so this claim is unsupported and not a strong option.
D) This option states that traditional audio and video technologies were eliminated from classrooms. Again, there is no evidence in the question to support this claim, making it an unlikely choice.
After considering all options, option B seems like the most reasonable answer. It is in line with the idea that digital audio and video technologies augmented traditional support technologies rather than replacing them outright. Hence, your initial answer of B appears to be correct.
