Multimedia in the Classroom

Examples of multimedia in the classroom varies due to the school's ability to afford these. Most schools have computers in the classroom for teachers to use. This allows the teacher to use the computer in numerous ways. The teacher can access the internet to show pictures, clippings, or movies off of. A screen projector can be used to attach to the computer so the whole class can see what is being done.

Tape recorders, cd players, and audio cassettes are some media that are still used today by teachers. But other teachers like to use media that is up to date. While the school might provide this type of media, some teachers will buy it themselves if they have the money. That way they don't have to worry about reserving it before other teachers do. Teachers will also have to make sure that any high price media will have to be locked up in a safe place so it is not stolen or broken.

Using different types of media will expand the knowledge of the student. Students like a change of pace of what is happening in the classroom. Watching movie clips on a certain subject is relaxing to the student. It also presents in a way that students wouldn't be able to learn in just lecture from the book.
