Chapter 9 Focus Question 1

Multimedia technology refers to laptops, computers, the internet, and various other electronic items that can be used for learning. All of these can be used to enhance learning because there is so much that can be taught hands off through computers and websites. Students can learn on their own away from and outside of school. They can do lab work during school and can read their materials and see examples of a project online. It is comparable to how iusb offers eBooks for nooks; it is a new technological way to read without buying a paper book. New multimedia technology also connects to the hearing and seeing learners, but it could be a downside for the hands on learners. Multimedia technology can have a greater reach than a simple textbook or lecture.
