Introduction for resources
- 1. Introduction of different resources to help students learn Karen Catherine Hamilton
- 2. Different Resources There are four resources that teacher can us in the classroom which are:- Audio Resources Text Resources Video Resources Visual Resources
- 3. Different resources Each of the four resources include the following : Advantages and Limitations of each medium as described in your course text. Possible ways of integration: Share how these resources can be used in the classroom by noting intended grade level, subject, topic, objective, and a brief description of how it will be used. Provide at least one decoding and one encoding student activity for each resource. Resources should adhere to Mayer’s Multimedia principles of dual coding, reducing extraneous processing, managing essential processing, and fostering generative processing. Resources should adhere to design principles
- 4. Cognitive Theory of Multimedia Learning Dr. Mayer introduced his research by defining the Science of Learning for the audience and where multimedia learning fits. He emphasized an important distinction between learning as information acquisition, and learning as knowledge construction. It’s difficult to view learning as some commodity that can be taken from the outside world and placed in someone’s head. His research is focused on knowledge construction, which requires an active-learning approach (although, Mayer noted, the level of cognitive activity applied to a lesson is more important than the level of behavioral activity).
- 5. How Does Multimedia Learning Work? Multimedia instruction helps learners understand concepts with the use of words and images. Dr. Mayer explained that there are three cognitive processes required for meaningful learning: selecting, organizing, and integrating. The multimedia techniques of his research aim to prime these processes.

- 7. Importance of Technology O Integrating technology into classroom instruction means more than teaching basic computer skills. Effective technology integration must happen across the curriculum in ways that research shows deepen and enhance the learning process. In particular, it must support four key components of learning: active engagement, participation in groups, frequent interaction and feedback, and connection to real-world experts O Technology integration is achieved when the use of technology is routine and transparent and when technology supports curricular goals.
- 8. Importance of Technology O Many people believe that technology-enabled project learning is the plus ultra of classroom instruction. Learning through projects while equipped with technology tools allows students to be intellectually challenged while providing them with a realistic snapshot of what the modern office looks like. O Through projects, students acquire and refine their analysis and problem-solving skills as they work individually and in teams to find, process, and synthesize information they've found online.
- 9. Instructional media O Instructional media was a very interesting course. I learning new website and new ways to keep the students interesting in the classroom . This class focuses on the technology path which was enjoyable because it make me create a lot of new ideas and fun stuff to help engage the students.
