<< BACKAids
Aids and tools are different.
Aids are all the practical things that your teacher brings into the classroom, provides for your personal use, or asks you to get.
It is also the practical things that you, yourself, decide that you need in your study or elsewhere.
Examples:
pen and pencil note pad textbooks grammar books exercise books freestyle tapes diary or log projector computer computer software whiteboard Aids may provide input, like your textbooks or your computer software, or they make your work easier in one way or another. Writing on the whiteboard, for example, makes it easier because you both see and listen at the same time. Using more senses generally improves learning.
Aids are different from tools. Here is an example:
The grammar book is a learning aid Grammar rules are learning tools
