Reflections
Multi media is the use of two or more forms of media. Nowadays, this is the most available form of media and is a very good tool in teaching most of the topics. For instance, using only textbook used only one form of media, that is visual. However, in using an alternative form of media such as using video may be better since it utilizes multiple forms of media and it appeals many senses, thus more effective.
Having said that, using multi media and information has pros and cons especially to the youth today. One of the disadvantages is the short attention span of students. Many of them cannot focus on lecture because they get bored when they only listen to long lectures. Some effects also of multi media is on the values of the students. Some of the youth today are very much affected with what they see in the media. Multimedia is useful in all subject areas. The teacher should consider these in enhancing learning but be careful not to use this to avoid face to face interaction with the students. Blended learning should be used carefully and be conscious how to use this technique. Top 3 free sites shared by Dr. Joie which I want to explore.
