| Who can use and create multimedia presentations? Multimedia presentations can be a teacher or student presentation strategy or tool. Teacher presentations using multimedia benefit students by presenting material through a variety of modalities allowing students with different learning styles to access the information in their own way. Multimedia also provides an opportunity for creating interactive learning activities geared for specific students and the specific learning objectives identified by the curriculum and teacher. When we look at students creating multimedia presentations, children as young as kindergarten age can create simple presentations. As students get older, they are capable of producing professional level products with access to basic technology equipment. |

What educators have always wanted to do is to
get students to wrestle with knowledge. Out of this struggle, we
want them to construct their own ideas and concepts. We want them
to enjoy an original relationship with data, to interact on their
own with facts and history and existence, and then to invent and
build their own understandings. Utilizing interactive multimedia
in the school environment stimulates and allows for the actualization
of this type of learning.
