Learning through digital media

Learning through the use of digital media greatly increase convenience and promotes better understanding. You can only learn so much from hearing someone talk about it, however if you can view a video of what you are learning, you instantly have a greater understanding. You can easily find tons of instructional videos on the net nowadays, especially from youtube. These videos have to be clear in their instructions in order to be effective.
For example, if someone would like to learn how to play the drums. He can search for an instructional video on youtube. This is how I learn how to play the drums. By looking at someone demonstrating how to do it, I can then try to mimic him and with his instruction, I get a clearer picture on how to do it.
In my opinion the future of classrooms will all be from home. Everyone will be equip with computers and camera, including the educator. With higher internet speed, there will be no lag learning from computers via the internet.
