I liked how you tied the idea of Inquiry Learning into Multimedia Learning. These two ideas are ones that are increasing exponentially in popularity and are shaping education in the modern world. I believe that Multimedia Learning can lead to a more self-taught experience. While some examples like PowerPoint require a live teaching experience, things like the educational picture books or videos online are great ways for students to explore their interests on their own and in their own time. Through both visual and auditory stimulation students are able to be fully immersed in their learning. This, I believe, can lead to increased interest in subjects as it is a more engaging experience. Multimedia Learning is a way that differentiation of teaching can take place. Students can more easily teach themselves about their inquiry topics while having a guiding teacher or librarian help steer them in the direction of resources.
Your personal anecdote about how PowerPoint has helped you to stay engaged and learn more effectively is a testament to multimedia learning.
