The success of computerization is related, at least, in three aspects: staff training, improvement of the equipments and the use of different multimedia communication vehicles. This work proposes a debate around a micro level, the school, considering in special the efficient use by the teachers of the various equipments during the pedagogical activity. For this reason, it discusses the potential significant of learning and conceptual map, and it’s presented below the experience cone for the selection of the multimedia content in the classrooms.
As well, we point out as a viable alternative the reference model Multimedia Classroom with significant learning, or model AMAS, used in the search for a better use of the multimedia elements in the school environment.
This paper proposes the use of this model as a basis for the development of a methodology to enable educators act in a critical and independent manner in their practice. In each cycle will be assessed the results of the use of multimedia in the educational environment.
