Reflection #4

      From the reading #4 assignment I have learned that multimedia is the integration of text, graphics, animation, sound, and/or video.  Multimedia in the classroom can include Powerpoint, software programs, a class website displaying students' work, using a digital video, and much more.  Multimedia activities encourage students to work in groups, express their knowledge in multiple ways, solve problems, revise their own work, and construct knowledge.  The steps in implimenting a multimedia classroom are decide, design, deliver, and evaluate.  You must decide whether the multimedia is appropriate, design whatever it is you decide on, deliver it to the classroom, and then evaluate yourself on how it went.
