One way is through using multimedia. Primary multimedia mostly use by teachers is computer. Computer allows them to access unlimited information which is relevant for teaching.
By integrating multimedia in their instruction, teachers can capture attention, engage learners, explain difficult concepts, inspire creativity, and have fun. However, there are a lot of tools available and many ways to use those tools. If you are a teacher looking for a technology tool to accomplish certain learning goals or outcomes, you can easily be satisfied.
