Multimedia is studied, not for its own sake, but as a tool to aid in the instruction process in elementary, secondary and higher education classrooms. Likewise, educational technology is not an end in itself, it is only a tool that helps us to teach the subjects we normally teach like math, science, social studies and language arts, but to teach them more effectively.
