Chapter 9-Creating and Sharing Information with Multimedia Technologies


Chapter 9-Creating and Sharing Information with Multimedia Technologies

Focus Question-What is multimedia technology and how can teachers use it to effectively create and share visual information dynamically in their teaching?

Multimedia technology is the use of text, data, voice, pictures, or videos. Multimedia learning is when teachers use text, data, voice, pictures, or videos to teach their lessons to the students. A multimedia classroom integrates multiple technologies for teaching and learning. 

Tech Tool- Interactive Whiteboards

Interactive Whiteboards are a whiteboard connected to a computer.  The whiteboard has special markers that allow you use to write on the board.  You can run PowerPoint or other presentations on the board.  As a teacher, I would use the interactive whiteboard as a teaching tool.  Check this out!



The video is a new product that Smart Technologies is marketing.  Very Cool!

Summary-
I think this chapter was my favorite one.  I could really relate to this chapter and what they were saying. The use of multimedia technology does make a lot sense in classrooms because it engages students. Teaching digital story telling, interactive whiteboards, and photo and movie making by students.  It really allows the students to interact with the new technology as well as their learning.  Using technology will allow the students to participate in something they really enjoy.  With using the technology it engages the students and helping them learn better.

  1. That smart table is pretty incredible - we will likely see so much more touch screen (and other unimaginable technologies) by the time you get in the classroom! :) I know that you came into this class with some concerns about the use of technology in the classroom - I'm wondering if this chapter (and others) are beginning to demonstrate the positive nature of instructional technology?
