Communicate Information
Communicate
information in different formats and for diverse audiences.
Personal Reflection:
This particular standard has forced us as individuals to muster up the
courage and extract the knowledge to be able to publish projects in different
formats. We had to produce different file formats, Adobe Acrobat files,
Flash Files, Rich Text Format documents, and general web pages. I know
am eager to learn more ways to transfer and transmit information via the
internet or other digital formats.

Title: Wanted Dead or Alive--The Animated Poster Multimedia Unit
Course: TATC 101 Digital Graphics
Date Created: October 2002
Source: Images, sound, Internet
Media: Flash 5, Dreamweaver, Photoshop 7, Acoustica MP3 Editor
Description: In this particular activity, we were to create a multimedia unit lesson plan to share with the classmates in our group. We were to teach or reinforce the concepts of:
- creating and editing digital graphics reinforcing the concepts of background, middle ground and foreground images for 3D effects,
- prepare lecture notes and student handouts for an animation graphics activity,
- prepare step-by-step instructions to help the students and teachers apply the animation and digital graphic concepts,
- prepare vocabulary terms
and key for students and teachers to introduce or reinforce the concepts
utilized in the lesson.
Rationale: The reason that I chose to use this particular artifact in my portfolio is because it included several different ways to convey information through digital images, Adobe Acrobat files, and web page design. I believe that through the process I was able to incorporate many of the concepts and standards that are good representations of the TA standards. The particular activities that I completed are as follows:
- plan and prepare a multimedia and digital graphic assignment that can be a strong representation of good design and concepts,
- prepare vocabulary, step-by-step instructions for both teacher and students,
- prepare an objects file that can be downloaded in a ZIP format for the teachers and students to access,
- prepare examples of both general digital graphic activities as well as multimedia production,
- design and prepare a web page that provided links to all activity files and examples of the work that is easy to use and understand,
- post the web page for my classmates to critique and utilize if they chose.
Implications for future: Because of this activity I am aware of the different formats that can be used in just one location. I hope to learn in the future about more file formats for images, text, multimedia and web design to further my knowledge base and increase my flexibility as a computer user and instructor.
