For hundreds of years verbal messages have been the primary means of explaining ideas to learners. Although verbal learning offers a powerful tool for humans, this book explores ways of going beyond the purely verbal. An alternative to purely verbal presentations is to use multimedia presentations in which people learn from both words and pictures--a situation the author calls multimedia learning. Multimedia encyclopedias have become the latest addition to students' reference tools, and the world wide web is full of messages that combine words and pictures. This book summarizes ten years of research aimed at realizing the promise of multimedia learning.

There's a long history of comics in the classroom, and the list of references at the end of this article is a great starting point for learning about this concept. While there's still resistance to this medium being used in education - whether by staff or students - there is also a growing movement to use every valuable tool available. Comics have some great uses in the classroom and in a variety of curricula. From pre-readers to high school students, from English to ESL to Science and Math, comics can help students analyze, synthesize and absorb content that may be more difficult when presented in only one way.

A must for educators...

I took the time to go through this site and play around with the topics and terms. I actually heard about this because my younger brothers use it in school. I think it can be a very useful tool to help students study for tests. I would definitely use it as a study reference for them.

i actually already use this site for my own personal use. its great for flashcards and memorization to use for studying for upcoming tests. its very professional and easy to use

This site was easy to navigate around.There were different tabs for both students and educators and it should how people can use google as a classroom tool and for professional development. i would be interested in learning more through this site

I bookmarked this site because I use google very often. I know it is important to use reliable search engines when looking up research or information. This link gives you an easy way to view teaching materials. As a future teacher I will have a lot of questions and require outside ideas and knowledge.

Google is so common in everyday! We are learning about it in class, and it is interesting to see what we can do with it.
