develop knowledge of the material being taught. This traditional approach is teacher-
centric, and information is pushed to the learner. Media allows the instructor to ease
the transfer of expert knowledge to novice learners.
 Existing media resources can also be used to engage students and ease active
learning strategies which promote deeper learning. For example, media provides a
useful platform for teaching with cases, cooperative learning, problem solving, and for
giving more interactive lecture demonstrations.
 Media in the classroom engage students in learning and provide a richer experience.
Interactive media, such as SMART Boards, allow students to move items around on a
screen for illustrative purposes, a definite plus for those who are considered visual
learners.

the gained knowledge. This is mainly because it provides interactive learning

Media in Instructions for Exceptional Students:
Media play a key role in the education of students with exceptionalities. Adapted and specially
designed media can contribute enormously to effective instruction of all students and can help
achieve at their highest potential regardless of their innate abilities.
 Individuals with disabilities such as mental retardation need highly structured learning
situations because their prior knowledge and ability to incorporate messages into mental
constructs is limited. Students who are hearing impaired, blind, or visually impaired
require various kinds of learning materials.
 Gifted and talented students can use videotape and other media to explore topics beyond
or in addition to that covered by other students in the class. They can also use the Internet
to search for information related to topics being covered in class or for their own personal
interests and hobbies.
