Dear Forrest,

I agree that one of the reasons that multimedia is so successful in a classroom is because it stimulates more than one of the learners’ senses at a time. For example, visual and audio senses are usually used together in many multimedia programs. Furthermore, I also agree with you that when we use multimedia in the classroom, we are creating our own learning environment. Essentially, the instructor can choose which multimedia programs to teach with in their classroom and, thus, tailor the instruction to the each student’s learning needs.

Furthermore, I have found that multimedia programs like PowerPoint provide learners with the right amount of visual and audio stimulation to understand the information being presented. In other words, I find that a learner’s comprehension is enhanced when he or she watches videos of concepts he or she has previously read about.

Great job!

Sincerely,

Joshua Smith
