Web Based Multimedia/Animation
This is one of the most important things that people can use on the internet today. When I was doing some research on the topic, I found o a lot of good examples multimedia tools. Multimedia animations allow to explain complex ideas and situtations easier. I think it is a lot easier to show someone how to do something rather than explaining it. There are many different ways to present multimedia things, from text to audio and video, and still image pictures, animation and interactivity. With all of these different tools there are so many things you can do with web based multimedia animations. It can be devided into two catagories. The first catagory is linear and the second is non-linear. Linear means that there is not any interactivness to the application, like a cinema presentation. Non-linear on the other hand has interactivness to it. In education it can be used for computer based training. It will allow you to go through several different types of presentations, it is almost endless on the ability to learn all different types of material. Doctors can even use it to go through a virtual surgery before they do the real thing so when they do perfrom surgery, they know what they are doing. Web based multimedia can be very helpful in the classroom, not only for student but teachers also. Its a great visual aid, and it can provide so much to education.

I learned a lot from your blog. I liked how you talked about the different types of media. It provided me with new insight. I did not know what linear media was. I defintly see these tools are useful ways to teach students. There are so many more oppurtunities to enagage learners in this technologically growing world.
I agree that multimedia is a great tool to help further explian a concept. It helps teachers to enhance the learning setting and incorporate many learning styles with her lecture. By reading your article I learned that there are two categories of animation. You covered those well. Good Job!
I have to say this topic really confused me and I had a really hard time finding any information. I have to say I think I went about my blog all wrong this week. Well, I have to say I learned a lot more about this topic from your blog so thank you. You gave some great examples of multimedia tools that could be used to enhance learning in the classroom. I think it's great how there are differet types and some are interactive and some are not. I am very familiar with the computer-based training because I do that all the time at work; however, when I am going through a presentation I never stop and think about the type of technology I am using. I think now I will be more aware of what I am using.
When I read other peoples article I try and look for things that I don't know. Your explanation of linear media was interesting to me because I had never yet heard of this form of media. Multimedia is definately one of the most successful and easy to use tools when teaching and explaining concepts. It allows teachers and there students to interact and better understand the content while enjoying the lessons as well. I enjoyed your article very much. Good Job!
