Digital Blog Post #H - Chapter 9
Concept 1: Multimedia means combining multiple media-text, data, voice, picture, and video-in a single application or technology. This means using computer presentations that combine words, pictures, sounds and etc. Multimedia use is extremely engaging! If you're a student like me, you NEED to see pictures and videos and all sorts of different tools for me to fully understand what is being taught and to actually be engaged in it. "Students engaged in learning that incorporates multimodal designs, on average, outperform students who learn using traditional approaches with single modes" (Metiri Group, 2008, p.13). This proves that teachers absolutely need their classrooms to become technology-infused in order for their students to be actively engaged and to be successful.
Concept 2: Photo taking and movie making with students is also another great alternative to keep students engaged. Students are immersed in media from the videos and pictures they take themselves to the movies they watch on television, in the movie theater, and on the internet. Photos or videos provide a vital way for students to remember classroom learning activities. Students can film using cameras to create still or moving pictures, act by being filmed as part of learning activities, edit the crafting that has been filmed into interesting visual presentations and viewing what has been produced. Since our students are 21st century learners I believe this is an awesome way to keep your class engaged and to have them do different things and keep the class fun! In my English class in high school, we were split up into groups and had to read a book with each other and when we finished the book, we were asked to recreate a big scene that happened in the story using our phones or cameras and cool effects. It was tons of fun! I absolutely loved it and so did everyone else in my group.
Concept 3: Podcast is an audio recording distributed online and accessed on computers or portable media players using free softwares. Vodcasts have also become popular. "Students are asked to watch lectures or information presentation portion of a lesson on videos outside of school and spend in-class time doing experiments and discussing academic content (Richardson, 2012). I think Podcasts are completely amazing and necessary in classrooms. To be able to save time by recording a lecture and having students watch it at home and then have more class time to do the lecture or experiments is a really smart thing to do! Podcasts also work great when you are absent and are still able to get the lesson that was done in school that day just by going online and listening to the podcast that the teacher has made specifically for those who were absent. This saves the teacher time from re-teaching a lesson to the student and it works extremely well for the student as well because he gets a chance to learn at his own pace and re-listen to these podcasts in order to understand the concept.
