Technology and multimedia applications are becoming increasingly integrated into the academic and personal lives of students. This document discusses how technology is now part of daily life both in and out of school. The technological revolution will significantly impact how students learn, with curriculum emphasizing higher-order thinking skills, authentic tasks, and collaborative work rather than isolated skill-building. Multimedia activities can provide learning opportunities for students to develop real-world technology skills while expressing their knowledge.

2. No one can ignore the role that technology and multimedia
applications play in the academic and personal life of the
students. Technology started to be part of everyday life; in
school, at home, with family, with friends and colleagues,
etc. This technological revolution will have a great impact
on the students’ learning. In the new vision of challenging
learning activities, the curriculum for all students would
emphasize the integration of higher order thinking skills,
authentic tasks, and mixed-ability groupings. Instead of
students practicing discrete, isolated skills (such as spelling
and punctuation done on worksheets), the curriculum
would stress composition, comprehension, and
applications of skills.

3.  Through participation in multimedia
activities, students can learn real-world skills
related to technology. They will know the
value of teamwork and the importance of
effective collaboration techniques.
 It helps the learners to express and represent
their prior knowledge and provides them
with many learning opportunities.

5.  it provides a non-threatening environment
for a learner to study at their own pace
 The teacher is no longer the center of
attention as the source of information, but
rather plays the role of facilitator, setting
project goals and providing guidelines and
resources, moving from student to student
or group to group, providing suggestions and
support for student activity.

6.  It facilitates teaching-learning process . The
combination of text, sound, and graphics
holds the attention of students and makes
students innovative by making their studies
more meaningful. most learners enjoy
working with multimedia
• It brings forth students’ talent in various
ways. It empowers students to work as a
designer while designing their slides,
browsing and interpreting the information
and then representing their knowledge to
others.

7.  it involves interaction between the learner
and the various elements on the screen

8. • Lack of IT knowledge
certain students may not be as computer
literate as others
• Most schools may not have technological
resources, both hardware and software, that
are required for using multimedia in
learning.

9. • Some teachers depend on the traditional
way of teaching because they do not know
how to integrate the multimedia in their
teaching.
• Most teachers need much time to prepare
lessons, to evaluate students and to create
tasks and activities, so they will not get more
trouble by develop multimedia activities.

10. • video files can be large and a long download
time may leave some students with nothing
to do
• sometimes, diverts students’ attention to
the pictures, sounds or relevant material
presented in multimedia.
• Sometimes, excessive information about
certain topic leads to cognitive overload and
it becomes difficult for the students to
understand all the information presented to
them.

11. • It can be incredibly difficult for teachers to
monitor all the students, and some may play
games or surfing the web instead of focusing
on the work at hand.
• One concern with computers is that they can
reduce learning demands on students. With
access to the web comes millions of pieces
of information, many of which contain
answers to common problems from school.
Students can use computers to do less work
or even to cheat.

12. • multimedia formats and the devices that play or store them
require a constant supply of power and frequent updating, a
fact that can be problematic in more remote areas.
• As technology rapidly evolves, compatibility between
different devices can also be a problem when trying to move
or play multimedia content. Even a simple malfunction,
server error or changes between formats, as anyone who
frantically struggled to connect a computer to an
incompatible projector before a presentation knows all too
well, can delay a presentation or permanently damage the
information contained in the format.
