- Just wanted to tell you that I used your American Revolution PPT in class for the first time today. The students absolutely loved it and it freed me to discuss the issues much better as they viewed the presentation. My department has some extra budget money available and I will be purchasing more of your materials to use in my other American history classes. Thank you for a job well done! - Raymond Frey, Ph.D.,
Professor of History, Centenary College
- I teach history at two local community colleges, and every semester my students comment how much they love the PowerPoint presentations and games we play in class. I have used your product as the foundation (which is rock solid) and insert or expand a few ideas of my own. I tell my students who plan on becoming future teachers who you are and how they can obtain your products. Using your work as a model, I just built an entire course on Latin American history. I use your powerpoints Mesoamerican
and Andean Civilizations and
The Conquest of Mexico as
a starting point
and continue with my original
work up through the revolutions
in the 19th century. - Dean Smith
Harvard, Illinois
- I
teach United States History:1877
to the Present at South Pike
Senior High School in Magnolia,
MS. This course is SATP (Subject
Area Testing Program) and it
is essential for the students
not only to pass but to excel
in subject matter as reflect
in their scores. The PowerPoint
presentations that I have used
from Multimedia Learning have
helped my students obtain a better
understanding of the subject
matter. The PowerPoint's are
full of graphs, maps, and political
cartoons which are all essential
in excelling on SATP. As educators
we know students learn in different
ways and I believe that incorporating
PowerPoint presentation that
are well organized and structured
will promote learning. One thing
that I enjoy as well as my students
about the PowerPoint presentation
is using them in conjunction
with the interactive board that
give the student the opportunity
to be more active in class.- Kenneth Evans,
South Pike Senior High School,
Magnolia, MS
- Thank
you for your very well done
power points and they work
well in my ITEC CLASSROOM.
They have helped students
gain a better understanding
of the material. More so
than the textbooks I have. -
Lloyd Emory, E.L. Wright
Middle School, South Carolina
- WOW! I am so blown away by all of the great
stuff! You guys are fabulous. My college
AND high school students always comment in their
course evaluations about how much better they
learned with your materials. I do a lot
of personalizing but your work is omnipresent
in my classes. Just thought you might want
to know that. Thanks so much...You deserve
their praise! Thanks again for your hard
work in creating MML. Not only are your
products excellent, but your customer service
is second to none. Well done. - S. Crawford
- I teach in an Alternative school in Texas that specializes in credit recovery. Multiple subjects are being taught in my room at all times and I am preparing kids for their Exit Level TAKS test simultaneously. We deal with many students who are often low performing or they have very limited background knowledge. Regardless of their backgrounds or their futures, all of them learn in "alternative" ways. Many of them need to see the same material in multiple formats in order to learn facts and apply them. ESL (English as a Second Language) learners need visuals in conjunction with other lessons to aid their learning.
These lessons have been a Godsend! I have been able to assign students to their own computers and know that they are getting great information without my constant attention. The students will argue about who gets to use the programs next! They have all commented that the pictures, videos, and recordings help them connect to the historical data. The lessons attach people and relationships to facts and dates. The thought provoking nature of the presentations lead the students to higher order thinking and an understanding of the future consequences of our current national decisions. My favorites so far are Great Depression, World War II, and Civil Rights Movement. - Marci Chapman, High School Social Studies, The Wilds of West Texas
- I teach US and World
History and these PowerPoint presentations have
been a great success. The PowerPoints are organized
so that I can use them for a variety of lessons
plans and differentiated levels and learning
styles. The combination of visual, written and
audio sources means that students with different
learning styles are a lot more engaged than
just through using textbook and the old-fashioned
'stand and deliver' type lesson. I plan to spend
way too much money on these products in the
near future!

- As an AP US History teacher, I found these PowerPoint presentations to be exceptional! The visual appeal and succinct yet informative captions augmented lecture and spurred class discussion at an advanced level. Because these materials are of high quality, I can now focus my energy on bringing the presentations to life and further engaging my students. Finally, the entire US History series will help me prepare my students for the AP exam. -

- At the end of the
school year I have my students complete a questionnaire
concerning their experience in my class. Since I've
been using Multimedia Learning U.S. History PowerPoint
presentations all my students say the same thing,
they love the PowerPoints! Thanks Multi Media Learning
for the great product. - Jeff Hinton, U.S History Teacher,
Northwest Career and Technical Academy,
Las Vegas, Nevada
- I just wanted
to let you know that I LOVED the powerpoints
that I ordered. I wished I had found them
earlier for my classes. My classes went
WILD when they saw the power points with
the video clips in them on Civil Rights
Movement Powerpoint. I will never be able
to show my power points to them again after
they saw yours. - Stacey Dameron
- I thank you
for the … CD and I will continue
to tell my colleagues of your wonderful
product. - Tracy R.
- Thanks and we
look forward to continuing to do business.
One of our U.S. History teachers said that
this is the best find we have had in a
long time so there will be more orders
in the future. - Che K.
- I recently purchased
the entire CD-Rom library, and am finding
it extremely useful in my classes. I
love the presentations. My students love
them as well. I am the cool teacher on
campus since no other teacher does this!
If your records show that there are any
titles that I am missing, I would love
to purchase them. - Linda K.
- I have just
begun using the PowerPoint presentations
in class and I find them to be an excellent
way of presenting historical information.
I like the way that the presentations engage
the students with a series of questions
as they view the material. The primary
source pictures and documents are much
more than they would get in any text. Thanks
again. - Ken K.
- Thank you very
much for sending me the Progressivism PowerPoint
presentation. It is very impressive!! Very
throrough, and many fabulous visual images! -
Karen S.
- Hi Herschel,
Wow, I am impressed! I am talking directly
to the creator of these fabulous PowerPoints.
We love them. Excellent resource! -
Kelly B.
- Just received
the new CD-Roms on Rev. Period and Colonial
Period. They are wonderful. Any plans to
have one for the federalist period and
the remaining period before the Civil War?
These are the best teacher-friendly supplies
I have ever seen. My students love them,
and they have generated more discussion
than we ever had before, because they can
actually see what I'm talking about. The
pictures, posters, political cartoons -
all are excellent. Thank you for your work! -
Linda K.
