Why Multimedia??

Why should you use multimedia with kids? Why should kids produce with multimedia? Because that is their medium of choice! That's the way they are wired. You know kids today are different than the kids we were teaching even 5 years ago! Have you read Digital Natives, Digital Immigrants by Marc Prensky? Are you a native - or an immigrant like I am? How does the way we were taught affect the way we now teach?

Why multimedia? Watch and listen to Dr. Tim Tyson's keynote to the National Educational Computing Conference (NECC) on iTunes.



Find a podcast or a video or a vodcast that you can use with a lesson that you are teaching in the next week. iTunes and DEstreaming are great places to start. Or perhaps a podcast or video for your students to listen to can be a resource for your next short, 6-slide lesson.
