I think that selecting instructional media can be difficult, especially when there is so much information out there to choose from. Students want us, as instructors to sort that out and guide and direct them to where they should go. I think power points can be good and bad. Good when you don't have alot of information to convey in a short period of time. Bad when you do have lots of information that may be critical to their success, to convey in a short period of time.
I use all media in teaching and I think all are necessary. The students grow up in a "techy" environment and actually expect more media and interaction with it. Plus, as instructors we need to be creative. I think this module has given me more things to think about.
