Technology tools, in our schools have made us teachers part of the pool.

If we don't try to make it a rule, in addition keep
updated on our tools, then we would be no less than fools
Using Multimedia should make you change the way you think and plan each lesson
Understanding Multimedia!
What is Multimedia?
To successfully use multimedia for instructional purposes, the user must have knowledge of the strength and weaknesses of the media relative to the learner's characteristics. e.g internet access technology (audio required) with relevance to the objectives of  the syllabus & curriculum.

Designing instruction based on strengths is good but acknowledgement of weaknesses
help to avoid pitfalls in the learning process.
Technology's role is to transmit the message.

The presentation, delivery of data and information using complementary forms of media to synchronize learning events with each type of instructional learning.

Each medium has inherent elements which make it suitable to support specific types of learning.
Information literacy is important.
