Article Review
For some reason my article review from week 1 never got posted. So I am reposting it again. Hopefully that still works..
New Ways of Using Multimedia in Classroom
Multimedia
can stimulate more than one sense at a time, and in doing so, may be more
attention-getting and attention-holding.
With this being said multimedia means using more than one medium of
expression or communication. We are
combining different medias in a presentation to convey a message or information
to an audience. We have so many students
who learn in different ways so multimedia can help solve that problem. If they are visual you can have visual
examples, while other students like to see the words and hear them at the same
time. This can be done with multimedia
as well. A lot of students like to watch
videos to learn more about a subject.
This way they are engaged and are enjoying and getting more involved in
the subject.
As
educators we are needing to adapt to the latest technology as our school
districts are adapting to them as well.
With this being said we need to make sure we are up with the times. We need to make sure we get the training we
need to stay up to date. Many school
districts offer trainings, if not they will send you to trainings to make sure
you comfortable with what you are doing.
Here are some great examples of using multimedia in the classroom. Youtube videos for the visual learners, podcasts
for the auditory learners, and interactive games for the tactile learners. By combining all these things in your
classroom you are not only hitting on the aspects the students enjoy but you
are also helping them learn different ways of learning that they may also end
up enjoying. Overall the use of multimedia
in the classroom is becoming more evident and with the increase of technology
it will just become a part of the norm.
I am looking forward to these advances to see where teaching goes over
the years.

Curriculum Video
For special education curriculum for high school it gets a
little tricky. We don't have a
curriculum or standards per say but the school district I work in has a
"Orange Binder" that we use that tells us what we need to teach and
cover within the school year. How you
teach it and what you use is up to you.
Part of what we have to teach in the next step after high school. This project came just in time for the end of
the school year so I decided to do mine on telling the students about the Young
Adult Program that we have for them after they leave high school, to continue
to get services until they are 21. This
is a great opportunity for the students and we encourage them to all go and
check it out. So glad I work in a school
district that has a great opportunity like this for the students to continue
their work skills and work towards finding employment.
