1. Presentation Software- this began with electronic slide show. As a teacher or student you might use Power Point, Keynote, or my favorite Prezi. A teacher may use one of these to create a presentation of new objectives to cover. He/she may have the students create a presentation project for a class assignment. One other way is create a Jeopardy game for review for the students.
2. Video Production and Editing Systems- Teachers may have students produce a movie about a particular time in history or the life of a famous mathematician and his participation to society. A Teacher may also video tape his lecture and publish it to the web so students that were absent could view it.
3. Hypermedia Development Software- Here teachers can create tutorials, presentations, storybooks and even websites. Students could create websites to explaining concepts and help increase their problem solving skills.
4. Virtual Environments and Immersion Tools- Teachers can use these tools for creating a virtual field trip. A lot of museums have virtual field trips already set up for teachers to use.
5. Web 2.0 Authoring Tools- A teacher may create a blog to help students with homework. A podcast may be used to replay a lecture. Students may create an e-Portfolio to show off their work throughout the year. Also video form YouTube can be used to introduce a topic or even present a topic.
These are just some suggestions on how Multimedia can be used in education. If you have other suggestions please post them.
Great ideas Jamie. I have learned how much fun technology can be in the classroom after taking this class. I have tried a lot of the things we have learned in my room. My kids really loved the wiki. I did too! Technology can really make learning fun!
ReplyDeleteI agree with Chrissie. Kids love and really get involved with all of these resources. I am lucky enough to have a classroom set of laptops so that my students can do these types of activities 3-4 times a week.
