As I start the Multi Media Project, I hope to use this group to find inspiration about where to proceed and how to better understand the relevance of 'multi media' and what counts as this. This certainly will not be my first attempt at incorporating technology into the physics class (see my sample project from another class: http://weibelphysics.shutterfly.com/) and certainly in that previous project I did incorporate video, though I imagine that this project will give me quite a bit more trouble. Browsing through other peoples' responses to this I find myself overwhelmed at how everyone else seems to know what they're doing and unfortunately this did not really help me sort my own thoughts in regards to this. I don't really feel as though I have gotten a solid start on this and if not for the post deadline wouldn't feel ready to post this at all despite having been working on it for several days. However even a half done step is better than no step at all and I hope that if I keep going things will start pulling together more as the weeks go on.
Hi Chad,
ReplyDeleteI understand your frustration at this point. However, I would encourage you to conduct some research to explore how various classrooms and instructors are embedding multimedia into their classrooms. Here are some questions to mull over: What type of device could the students use to increase their engagement? What types of devices do you have in your school? Such as iPads, Chromebooks, or Computer labs? Think about your traditional way of teaching as opposed understanding how students could benefit from a flipped classroom model? How could you utilize technology apps or computer software to promote critical thinking with your students?
