Reading Assignment #4

"Florida Center for Instructional Technology - Multimedia in the Classroom"

Multimedia is defined as the use of any technological tool which includes any type of animation, graphics, sounds bytes, or text.  Using multimedia in the classroom is essential.  It it used to get the students interested as well as a way of posting their great artwork on a website.

Some reasons why multimedia should be implemented into the classroom are that it allows for students to work with real-world skills and it allows children to use of side of them that they don't often use.  It also encourages them to work together and help one another in this whole new "world."

The four steps when trying to integrate multimedia into the classroom are to decide, design, deliver, and evaluate.  I think these are important with many other projects in the classroom as well.  Multimedia is benefited from everyone in the classroom, including the students and teachers.
