Final presentation
- 1. FINAL PRESENTATION MULTIMEDIA IN THE CLASSROOM JENNIFER MG WATKIN 6/10/15-6/25/15
- 2. MULTIMEDIA IS USEFUL FOR TEACHING… • PROVIDES MORE MULTI-SENSORY INPUT DURING LEARNING EXPERIENCES FOR STUDENTS. • TECHNOLOGY IS PART OF TODAY’S WORLD. • FUN FOR ALL TYPES OF LEARNERS. • PROMOTES CREATIVE THINKING.
- 3. MY FAVORITE TOOLS/SITES AND HOW TO APPLY THEM IN THE CLASSROOM? AMINUS3 – WEB-BASED PHOTO DIARY. POST A PHOTO A DAY. CLASSROOM IDEA - I LIKED THE IDEA OF USING THIS AS A JOURNAL/CREATIVE WRITING PROMPT. I COULD UPLOAD VARIOUS PICTURES/IMAGES THAT I COULD THEN DISPLAY FOR MY STUDENTS. THE STUDENTS WOULD WRITE A FEW LINES IN THEIR JOURNAL ABOUT WHAT THEY SEE IN THE PICTURE PROMPT. PODBEAN – PODCAST WEBSITE. PUBLISH AUDIO PROJECTS. CLASSROOM IDEA - I ENJOYED LISTENING TO VARIOUS PODCASTS. YOU COULD USE THEM DURING A CIRCLE TIME. PODCASTS COULD ALSO BE A USEFUL TOOL WHEN WORKING WITH VISUALLY IMPAIRED AS IT IS GEARED TOWARDS A MORE AUDITORY EXPERIENCE. THERE SOME TRAVEL NARRATIVES THAT COULD BE USED IN A SOCIAL STUDIES UNIT.
- 4. CONTINUED… ANIMOTO – VIDEO/DIGITAL STORY TELLING TOOL. CLASSROOM IDEA – THIS IS THE BEST TOOL FOR MAKING SOCIAL STORIES. I HAVE USED SOCIAL STORIES FOR CHILDREN WITH AUTISM TO HELP TEACH SOCIAL SKILLS OR ADAPTIVE SKILLS. THE FAMILY AND INTERVENTION TEAM COULD USE THIS TOOL TO MAKE STORIES FOR A CHILD’S SPECIFIC NEEDS. MOVIEMAKER – VIDEO EDITING PROGRAM. CLASSROOM IDEA – USER FRIENDLY AND FUN. HAVE YOUR CLASS MAKE A VIDEO YEARBOOK. THEY COULD ADD PICTURES OF THEIR CLASSMATES AND ADD VIDEO FOOTAGE FROM CLASS TRIPS OR FROM THE YEAR. YOUTUBE/SCHOOLTUBE – PUBLISHED VIDEO SITE. CLASSROOM IDEA – I FOUND SOME HELPFUL VIDEOS FOR TEACHING FRACTIONS ON SCHOOLTUBE. THEY PROVIDED HELPFUL AND STIMULATING VISUAL AIDS TO SHOW WHAT FRACTIONS REPRESENTED. THESE VIDEOS COULD BE A HELPFUL ADDITION TO LESSONS ON FRACTIONS.

- 7. SUCCESSES VS. CHALLENGES. 1. FIRST PODCAST AND YOUTUBE POST. 2. FIRST TIME RECORDING MY OWN VOICE AND PUBLISHING IT. 3. USED MULTIMEDIA TOOLS FOR PERSONAL PROJECTS BUT ALSO MADE ME REALIZE HOW THEY COULD BE INCORPORATED INTO TEACHING. 1. PATIENCE… EDITING AND CREATING TAKES TIME. SELECTING IMAGES TAKE TIME. UPLOADING TAKES TIME. CROPPING TAKES TIME. CORRECTING MISTAKES TAKES TIME. 2. NOT ALL FUN THINGS COME FOR FREE.
- 8. ONLINE LEARNING REVIEW • PROS – LEARNING ANYTIME AND ANYWHERE. MY CLASSROOM WAS IN MY LIVING ROOM IN MY PAJAMAS, POOLSIDE WITH MY IPAD, AND AT MY PARENT’S HOUSE WHILE THEY WATCHED MY DAUGHTER. THERE WAS A LOT OF ROOM FOR CREATIVITY. • CONS – I DIDN’T REALIZE THAT I WOULD MISS FEEDBACK FROM CLASSMATES AND FROM MY TEACHER. I HAD TO BE SELF-MOTIVATED AND DISCIPLINED TO GET PROJECTS DONE AND SUBMITTED. THERE WASN’T ENOUGH OPPORTUNITIES FOR CLASS INTERACTION OR DISCUSSION.
- 9. MOODLE REVIEW • PROS- MOODLE IS EASILY ACCESSIBLE AND 24 HOURS A DAY. YOU CAN EXCHANGE EMAILS WITH CLASS MATES. YOU CAN REFER BACK TO PREVIOUS LESSONS. • CONS- IT TAKES A BIT OF TIME TO LEARN HOW TO NAVIGATE THE COURSES AND LESSONS. THERE DIDN’T SEEM TO HAVE ANYTHING IN REAL TIME EXCHANGE OR CHATS. YOU CAN SEND AND RECEIVE NOTES BUT IT DOESN’T MEAN THAT THERE IS MUCH DISCUSSION AS YOU LEARN.
