Use multimedia to connect content with real life examples shown in photographs, videos, and other media types. Multimedia presentations allow you to appeal to a wide variety of learning styles, while meeting important instructional goals. PowerPoint gives you the ability to bring in many different kinds of media, including graphic images, colored backgrounds, photographs, sound files, video clips, animations, and, of course, text. It also allows you to hyperlink pages within the presentation to external Web pages, as well as to other pages within the presentation.
