Even though my mulitmedia presentation was a little less than academic, I still see multimedia presentations as incredibly worthwhile for the classroom. In my teaching, I bring in a wide range of media to explain topics in science. I might have a PowerPoint to provide organization to my lesson. But within that presentation I might have videos, images, a link to a website... various tools that will help students understand what I am trying to portray. Students can use multimedia applications to help represent their understanding so that they can be assessed, or just to organize their understanding. The new tools available through digital media allow students to explore and expland, keep track off, and represent their understanding.
Michelle, what a fascinating post. What was the impetus for this entry? What readings from class ignited this creative response? Is this a reflection on the weekly readings or a moment of inspiration connected to your genre pieces project? Or some sort of intersecting of both worlds? I wish you had elaborated here further in order to fully appreciate the connections.
ReplyDeleteAlso, just so you know your link did work and the Prezi was both entertaining and informative. As an aside, I had an interesting dinner once with Bill Nye -- he used to date a friend, of a friend of mine. He is just as "hooked on science" in person as he is on screen.
