What Does Multimodal Learning Mean?

"In a nutshell it means that the more different ways you learn something the more you will really learn it! The more different ways you learn something, the more you will remember it! The more different ways you learn something, the more you will genuinely understand it!" (Lazear, 2008).

Using Technology with Classroom Instruction that Works

“Communication and collaboration tools, such as blogs, wikis, e-mails, video conferencing, and social networks, can provide timely, interactive, and criterion-based feedback to students.”
