using multimedia in the classroom

Using “Multimedia inthe Classroom”

by Brian Hanna

A Google Presentation

The use of screencasts, podcasts, and video presentations add significant depth to any class environment.

I used a screencast on “Screencast-O-Matic” to showcase the proper way to complete assignments on Study Island.

I made a podcast on an author.

I created a stunning video that included

pictures and video of my daughter.

“There’s so many tools!”

SCREENCASTING!

Screencasting was a highly

useful tool. I plan on using

this more to include tutorials

on how to successfully start

projects/assignments.

The Most Handy Tool

Podcasting:

Created a podcast on American author Ralph Waldo Emerson. This can be saved, available for students at any time, and prepared for linguistic/auditory learners.

Video Generation:

Shared with colleagues and wife, showcasing my highlights of my daughters’ first few months of life. Animoto is a wonderful resource to use online.

AND...

Success with Multimedia

Using Audio and Video

effectively:I love the resources and the new ideas

generated with iMovie, Animoto, Snapfish,

YouTube, Teacher Tube, et cetera; however,

creating first-rate projects became an issue. It took me over an hour to get my school computer’s microphone to finally work, which was the most frustrating experience of the class. I wanted the audio to be crystal clear, and in the end, it was not.

“This was challenging...”

MOODLE:

easy to navigate

clear assignments

useful links

ONLINE LEARNING:

great for busy people

effective for teachers

eye-opening experiences

instant feedback
