Multimedia in the Classroom

Multimedia is a very useful tool in the classroom. Audio and video media attract different kinds of students. With today’s technology, students are more intone with watching or listening to something than listening and doing. All parties benefit from the use of multimedia and the integration of computers in learning. It provides a gateway for parents and teachers and students can show off their work and not have the original. Parents are able to keep track of what is going on at school and able to easily ask the teacher any questions they have. Students are more interested and are able to use skills they know to learn without it being thought of as work. Teachers are allowed to create more student led lessons and can better monitor who needs help and can provide feedback promptly. The use of computers teaches the children early on useful skills they will need as they get older and go out into the business world. Some uses of multimedia in the classroom are karaoke, commercials, television programs, and music. Music and karaoke can be beneficial by providing a break from mainstream learning and still teach the kids to read and teach them about beat, rhythm, etc. Commercials and television clips can be used as a leeway into the lesson or teaching a theme focused on in the film.
