This course, taught by Renaldo Lawrence, was about how to create multimedia projects based on regular curriculum or lesson plans. He discussed how transforming parts of lessons into multimedia content and interactive projects can positively impact students as it addresses the learning styles of auditory, visual, and kinesthetic. This course gave step by step instructions on how to convert a lesson into multimedia, first by deciding what you want to make multimedia, organizing everything, and then putting it together using multiple resources. Lawrence talks about tools needed such as microphones, and about programs, websites, and software available such as Adobe Presenter, YouTube, Audacity, Google Docs, and many more. This course was extremely informative because not only did it introduce me to multiple resources for incorporating technology into my lessons, but it also took me step by step on how to make it the most effective for my future students.
Here is the link to the notes I took while watching the Lynda.com course, beneficial if you would like to learn how to turn lessons into multimedia curriculum! Notes on "Creating Multimedia Learning"
Here are some screenshots from the course video. The first is of when Lawrence was teaching about what multimedia was, and the second and third photos are of two apps created to teach students interactively about geography and about the rain forest. These are examples that teachers watching this course could imitate in their own multimedia lessons.
Rachel, I really liked your ILP 2. I found it interesting to read about. However, when I read your notes I came across different strategies to use for both visual and kinesthetic learners. How could you combine these two ideas for a classroom that has both types of learners?
