Teaching with Media.. Yes or No?

I think that using media for teaching is a good way to get things across to kids these days because they spend most of their time on the computer and internet anyway so why not teach them that way too? If teaching them on the computer will keep them interested and help them do their homework, why not do it? I think that if more teachers were to teach this way it would make a bigger impact on kids. I think this lesson is a good way to show how teaching over the internet is a good thing. This lesson provides students with the opportunity to look at mass media in a critical way. The students will become aware of the tremendous amount of advertising that they are exposed to on a daily basis. By looking at advertising critically, students begin to understand how the media oppresses certain groups, convinces people to purchase certain products, and influences culture.
