__Overview __

Multimedia is defined as the integration of two or more media: text, graphics, animation, sound, and/or video. When the term is used with computer technology, multimedia refers to a variety of applications that combine media and that use CD-ROM, video, audio, DVD, and other media equipment.

The main purpose for the integration of multimedia into the classroom is to help engage students in the use of multimedia to construct and convey knowledge, best used with the constructivist approach to learning. The beauty of multimedia is: it is the most cost effective technology to integrate into the classroom, and it has the ability to include all students at all levels with focus on one subject or multiple subjects at the same time. The new generation and way of life is technology; let us prepare our students by giving them the path for success into the future of technology.

==== “Media and computer literacy will enable students to seek information and knowledge more actively, but also provides the skills to develop their own cultural artifacts within the educational setting and within a wider pedagogical, philosophical, and practical context. It is inspiring to see Web sites and other artifacts that students have already produced, often collaboratively, with computer and multimedia technologies. In view of the increased role of computers in business, higher education, and everyday life, such skills will be necessary for creative participation in the future.” ( Hammer, Rhonda, Kellner, Douglas; 2000) ====

__Educational Uses __
There are two ways to integrate multimedia use into the classroom:
 * Use multimedia in a pre-canned title (prerecorded) or pre-canned content (live).
 * Teach with multimedia where you have students actually create in multimedia in the constructivist style of teaching (student discovery via experience).

Student benefits:
 * Engaging and motivating.
 * Provides opportunities to try new things.
 * Incorporates additional useful skills into the curriculum.
 * Heightens project-based learning opportunities.
 * Provides classroom accessibility outside the classroom.
 * Benefits audio/visual learners.
