Use of Media Enhance Learning and Teaching Tools

One of my classmate Liana Axente,  provided an online article (see below) focussing on media as a learning and teaching tool.  I felt this article covers many good points of implementing media enhanced tools. As I am coming to the end of my course, I am finally understanding the importance of including learning tools such as YouTube videos, gaming sites, blogs, online articles, and many more.

Liana mentioned good points of using the media enhanced tools as well as finding balance. When teaching, if  we plan to show an online video, we need to think about the learning outcomes. Does the media fit with the learning goals, has quality presentation, the length of video (preferably short), and does it prompt students to understand the subject effectively. Finally, we use media to create discussions, assess the students' knowledge, and provide examples to enhance the learning experience for students.
