This is the age of Science and Technology. Almost everything has undergone a change under the impact of Science. The teaching learning processes have also been affected by it. The classroom has to have it different shape in times to come. Learning depends upon the different type of equipment available in the classroom. Audio-Visual aids are of immense value in the teaching- learning process. They make the process lively and interesting and hence make it effective and better.

Surely the classroom in the 20th century has to be modern from every angle.
