Standards IX:  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.

Multimedia is the area in which I have experienced the most growth through TATC.  It is an exciting field that captures the interest and excitement of most all students and one that appeals to more of our senses than any other.  I have also grown to love multimedia because it includes elements of all of the other standards!  Because I taught a brand new multimedia course this year in my school, I really watched for assignments in TATC that I could incorporate into my curriculum, and I was excited to be able to use many of the projects that I completed in my classroom.

Artifact #5 

Descriptors:  Animation, Interactive Internet Photo Album, Web Site, Video, Multimedia

Title:  Photo Album

Course: 103 Multimedia

Date Created February 26, 2003

Source: Microsoft Front Page

Media:  Web Page

Description:
*Created a "splash" page animated introduction 
*Created an interactive multimedia photo album
*Created, edited, and imbedded a related video
*Presented all in form of web pages
*Summarized file formats, software, types of graphics used, and the 
  editing techniques to improve them

Rationale
This multi-faceted assignment was designed to incorporate several areas of technology applications to produce a multimedia product including animation, video production, web authoring, and  multimedia presentation skills.  I chose my finished product as an artifact and best work for numerous reasons,  One, I love my end result!  I took one of my favorite subjects, my restored 1919 Texas Registered Landmark home, and developed the project around that.  Second, the assignment and finished product included practically everything we've learned in TATC.  Finally, the assignment covered an incredible number of indicators, especially since I chose to edit my video for a more complete finale to the project.  I chose it as one example of my best work because so much work went into it, the reviews by my classmates' were enthusiastic, and it made the hall of fame!

Implications for future:
I plan to burn cds of my finished product to give to the home's previous owners who have helped me in completing research on the home's history, and I plan to keep one for myself as a keepsake.  My implications for the classroom include assigning a similar project to my multimedia students for their last six week's work.

Reviewer's Comments:
You did a fantastic job on your project! I was so captivated by your powerpoint that I could hardly wait for the next slide to show what the "after" was going to look like. I felt almost like I was watching the before and after from the show Trading Spaces. The introduction for your project was wonderfully done, and the overall presentation was professional as always. You should use your work as an example for teaching your students. I know they will be as inspired as I was. Once again, you did a fantastic job.

Artifact #14

Descriptors:  Storyboard, Timeline, Sound, Video

Title:  Movie Integration

Course:  103 Multimedia

Date Created:  February 28, 2003

Source:  On-line resources, Microsoft Front Page 2000, Atomix, Microsoft PowerPoint 2000, Monkey Audio Compression

Media:  Web Page

Description:
*Set up a storyboard of the MM product and link it to the presentation
*Created a timeline or sketch you're planning and link it to the presentation
*Integrated  edited sound into  presentation 
*Integrated a video clip into  presentation 
*Linked to a site that is related to show
*Made  content persuasive in nature
*Gave myself credit in the presentation
*Included credits to sites or graphics

Rationale:  I chose to include this as an artifact because it is my all-time favorite project.  I love the finished product and the idea that I came up with to create it.  In order to be persuasive to today's discriminating multimedia viewer, it had to be catchy, colorful, and convincing.  I took the very tame Mary Poppins to compare to the wild and wacky Fran Fine of "The Nanny," focusing on their theme songs and appearances.  I also love the colors that coordinate with the typical clothing worn by Fran Fine, which I mimicked  in the colors I chose for the page presentation, along with the customized headline text for the pages.  I consider it my best work because the entire project came together with the ideas flowing freely and my use of technology working easily. We missed two days of school for bad weather, so I was able to stay at home and spend some leisurely time on it.  I enjoyed it so much that I could hardly wait to get back to school and show it off to my students!

Implications for future:  I already use components of this assignment in my classroom, but I will certainly include the entire assignment for my multimedia class next year.  Students love to be able to choose their topics.  Then it's easier for them to be creative in their finished product.

Reviewer's Comments:
Your mix and the entire webpage is great! The video loaded pretty quickly and worked well. I love your title and the overall color and style of the page--very appropriate for the topic and I could see the color coordination from the pictures you had selected to use and the page background, etc. Good use of the elements and principles of design.
