This website showed a lot of how education has been evolving over the years. First education started with only lectures and paper but has now turned into using virtual classrooms and using technology to teach many different things. The virtual environment has been well equiped with multimedia, animation, interaction, and manipulated image visualization techniques. The learning of the students is more enhanced by the new upcoming technology that is offered. Models that need to be visualized are now easier when using the web multimedia. This allows for 3-D graphics to be used to be able to visualize real life structures more easily.
Technology relates to teaching and learning by allowing teachers to direct their students to the web based animation to better understand what it is that they are trying to lecture about. Something might be better to understand the concept when looking at a 3-D image rather than just listening to someone speak about the structure or object. Also, technology has been growing in the business world and needs to be more popular in education to allow the upcoming generation to know what they are doing in their jobs.
I think that the web based multimedia/animation is good to allow students to see more about the concepts they are learning. I think that more research needs to be done on how effective they really are related to how much is being spent on these designs.

Great post Hayley! I think the web multimedia helps the students visualize what they are learning through audio already from their teachers. It was interesting to read your article and flash back to the days of only chalk boards and written handouts. Now there are endless possibilites for teachers through the web using 3-D images.
Good Article!
I liked the article because it shows how far our world has come along with technology and that students are able to learn visually instead of being lectured. I think the concept of web based multimedia seems to connect the curriculum and help students with disabilities learn as well.
Good post, especially about further research. Money is a big issue and there should be careful reveiws over multimedia's cost and production. Multimedia can be a great teaching tool, but only when it is affordable and used correctly can it be very helpful.
Nice post. I liked how you talked about our world expanding so much in the class room. Going form paper and pencils to Midia and Visual learning. You did a good job and I think it was good of you to talk about the money problem. The multimedia is very expencive and we should put lots of thought into it before we pend alot of money. Nice job!
I thought your post was really good! I had never thought about it introducting and new technology to students that they will need to be using in the near future. Your post really made me think about the benefits to implementing this into my classes.
Great job! I think that multimedia/ animation can be helpful to teach an Anatomy class. For instance, since animation can be 3-D, then the students can see all the different angles of the skeletal system, for instance. Then students can memorize where these bones are located and what they are called.
Really good discussion! You made some good points about how web-based multimedia can relate with and evolve inside the classroom. The techniques of education have really changed over the years and this topis certainly is one of the factors. Very good comparisons, keep it up!
Good post, you went into a lot of detail. I agree that animation can help students to understand better and allows students to view more. I also agree with you about where more research can be done.
