Multimedia tools in the classroom can help increase student engagement and lead to increased understanding and learning. This is especially true in the mathematics classroom that some students in the past considered to be boring paper and pencil work. Through the use of the internet, real-life and student-relevant data can be brought into the classroom to make problems more interesting.
With the use of presentation tools such as Microsoft Power Point, Anamoto, and Photostory students can now use their creative side to present ideas and explain their learning. No longer are math classrooms limited to paper and pencil tests to access learning.
Another Multimedia tool that enhances learning in the math classroom is United Streaming. The videos in the online library are available to teachers in full length and shortened clips. Videos and video clips can be used to teach a concept, enhance teaching, or for re-teaching.
