Multimedia

The multimedia teacher has the knowledge and skills needed to teach the Foundations, Information Acquisition, Work in Solving Problems, Communication strands of the Technology Applications Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills (TEKS) in multimedia, in addition to the content described in Technology Applications Standards I-V.

Reflection: Once again, I was thrown to the wolves! I have never worked with multimedia with the exception of PowerPoint. Once the initial shock wore off, I felt more confident. I really wished I had more time to experiment with the sound and video files. I really enjoyed learning the MGI VideoWave product. Though I did not use it to its fullest capacity. I think that my biggest obstacle was finding sound files and video files to edit from the Internet. Searching for these files was overwhelming.

I took a few ideas and assigned them to my students. I must say that they usually outdid me. I used these assignments toward the end of the year. This was a lifesaver. My students not only did well they a great time working on their projects. They also enjoyed looking at each others video. No two videos were the same. It was a good experience for both me and my students.

I guess in the end I tamed a few wolves.

Descriptors: Multimedia production, photo editing, scanning techniques, and animation

Title: Interactive Photo Album

Course: Multimedia 103

Date Created: March 2, 2003

Source: Family photos

Media: Multimedia Dreamweaver, MS PowerPoint, and Adobe LiveMotion

Description: Create a photo album of your life. It can combine family, work, a collection of various pictures or just a hobby that you like. You will have a minimum of two pages, which will consist of an introduction (splash) animation page and the web page with all of the other required criteria. The photo album will be unlike any that you have never created before. It will be an Interactive Internet Photo Album for all to see.

Rationale: I selected this artifact because It looks so impressive. I think most students would gain a lot of confidence once they produced an interactive album. We often use PowerPoint to create a presentation but this assignment takes that to a new level by integrating different applications.

Review Comments:Your presentation was so fantastic! I loved the captions because they added so much! I felt like I was with them hunting for eggs. I especially loved the blackmail picture. :-)

Great work!
