Lynne, Selecting media is so important. As experts in our field, some things may seem obivious, and choosing something that perspective can sometimes leave students a little bit in the dark. Thinking about how the students will receive (or capable of receiving) our media choices is one way to help in the selection process. Of course, anything that stimulates their interest, is enjoyable, or keeps them busy doing something (kinesthetic) usually results in better retention of needed information. Barry Westling
