Blog Reflection #2

How does using multimedia allow you as a teacher to appeal to a wide diversity of learners?

I think multimedia allow me as a teacher to appeal to a wide diversity of leaner. Because cognitive research has shown that individuals learn more when they can learn information in both visually and auditorily. Multimedia appeals to many different types of learning modes and styles because of the many forms of media that can be included(text, audio, animation, pictures, etc.). As a teacher, I think with different students , I can use different types of learning modes and styles in Multimedia. Multimedia allows learners to construct their their own learning and empowers learners' creativity and design skills. Multimedia also provides a hands-on experience when learners are allowed to create multimedia projects.
Multimedia encourages deep thinking, organizational skills, and information literacy. I think as a teacher, I will more often use the multimeidia to teach my students.
