Multimedia can be found everywhere in our society today. New technology is increasing people’s ability to learn through the eyes of multimedia. Multimedia can be defined generically as any combination of two or more media such as sound, images, text, animation, and video. For educational technology purposes, multimedia refers to computer-based systems that use associative linkages to allow users to navigate and retrieve information stored in a combination of text, sounds, graphics, video, and other media. Multimedia literacy is a growing concern among educators as American society continues to depend on image technologies such as television, video, and film. Educators need to prepare children to live and function in a society that relies on multimedia for information storage and dissemination. As a leader in my Sunday school department we focus on making learning a blast for kids. My job as a leader focus on teaching kids how important technology is importance.

Leaders can learn about how to incorporate these media in his or her class. I found that using visual make student eager to learn. When bright colors are being displayed on screen it makes them attend tent to what they are watching on a screen as a group. You will get more response to your question by incorporating different technology for learning. Multimedia can be used in instruction in a variety of creative and stimulating ways. Applications include teacher presentations, student projects, and discovery learning. Although teachers are encouraged to develop their own materials, many excellent educational multimedia products are also 

 available.
