I think multimedia can be very beneficial in a classroom. It is important to keep learning fun & use the tools that are available to us. I do have a concern though that students and teachers will spend more time on learning technology than the subjects we are trying to teach. I ran into this with a math class here at WIU. All the tests, quizzes, etc were online & I ended up spending more time trying to figure how to use the technology than I did on the subject matter. We dont want a bunch of students who can use all these tools and be techies & have nothing to say :-) just some food for thought
