The document discusses different types of projected media that can be used for instruction, including text/print, still visuals, and displayed visuals. Text/print materials are readily available and flexible but rely on reading level and memorization. Still visuals like printed pictures are inexpensive but two-dimensional and open to interpretation. Displayed visuals on boards are multi-purpose and allow participation, but are not portable and require space. Effective utilization of these media involves supplementing text with visuals, highlighting important visual aspects, and checking visibility and legibility of displayed materials.
