Creating and Sharing Information with Multimedia Technologies
Focus Question: What is multimedia technology and how can teachers use it to effectively create and share visual information dynamically in their teaching?
Multimedia technology is when more than one type of medias of technology are used to communicate information. Teachers can use it effectively by integrating it in their lessons for a more interactive way to learn for the students that will help keep their focus.Tech Tool: Voice Recording Microphone or Digital Voice Recorder
Our textbook says that this tool is best for singular or group situations. Students would enjoy using these for assignments. I think that these recorders would be helpful for blind students and also for ESOL/ELL students to help them practice proper word pronunciation.Summary & Connection
This chapter has a main focus on ways that multimedia presentations are used to enhance education. They allow teachers to create and communicate through technology using a variety of medias such as audio and video. I always enjoyed in class when we would watch a movie. It keeps your focus and it is a nice change from the typical textbook page.'Resources:

Though you address all of the topics, I'm looking for more detail and depth at this stage of the blog postings! You can also personalize and reflect on how you might use them in your future classroom as a teacher. Your mention of the digital voice recorder for blind or ESOL/ELL students is a great example, but I want to know more - how would you use? In class, as homework, with partner? Would it be a tool for just some occasions or used all the time?, etc... Great photo citation! :)
