Chapter 5

Chapter five discusses digital media and how it can be useful today for teachers and our society in general. The use of graphics and audio make presentations more interesting for the audience and more interactive. Also, the use of videos can also be helpful in giving examples of scenarios. Instead of explaining your thought process, you can just show a video of what you are trying to explain. With the help of faster modems, it makes it easier to watch these videos and use digital media.
This also contributes with educational software, which has made it easier to teachs students. Being able to have educational games and tutorials help make teaching fun. This also will gove students a motive to learn. Instead of students having to go to school and read, do busy work, and not pay attention they are able to play a video game and enjoy learning. I think that using this for education will allow students to grasp certain concepts and enjoy learning.
I have learned that searching the web is not that difficult. I do think that sometimes you need to really make what you are looking for very precise though. Being able to have searched the web for all of those different concepts helped me because I use to search for very broad subjects. The web is growing more and more which may also make it harder to find exactly what you are looking for sometimes. This can also allow you to get more information or ideas.
