Week+1+Multimedia+sites

My experience of multimedia through learning was very different to what students have today. Through out my schooling the use of multimedia was basically watching videos and using tapes and CDs. The use of computers was fairly basic and mainly consisted of using Microsoft software. In the 9 years of teaching I noticed many changes in the use of multimedia. Although I have only been teaching for a short amount of time I have noticed the progression from using computers to type up work to using images and movies for visual literacy. I try to expose my students to a variety of software such as PowerPoint and programmes such as targeting Maths. I have also tried to include photos and videos into the lessons. Now that my school has installed promethean boards, we as a class use the Internet to research and find different ways to demonstrate lessons. The use of multimedia in the classroom can have a lot of benefits. With todays students living in a technological world they are continually surrounded with different types of technology. The use of multimedia caters for all students especially those who are visual learners. The use of multimedia helps to engage the students. **Multimedia Website Analysis ** [] This site conveys the message of ‘fun’ for all the family.
