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 integrates all of the TA
courses and turned out to be my favorite of all
the TA courses. In this course I learned
how to create videos, edit sound, used graphics,
present multimedia products through web pages,
and use my Desktop Publishing skills. I learned
to work as a group member to create a team
video. I think this will help me when I
make group work assignments for my classes.
I can see so many uses for Multimedia;
creating resource materials, teaching aides,
workshops, displaying student's work on the web
or at Open House to name a few. I think this
will be one of the application courses that I
will enjoy teaching and will use the new skills
I have learned very often.

Description: We were to create
an interactive, Internet photo album of our lives
or a hobby. The requirements were:
 | Create in a presentation
software and housed in a web site.
|
 | The web site could have a
minimum of two pages with the first page being
a splash (animation) page and the second being
a web page with all the other required
criteria. |
 | The web site also had to
include an input of a video with link, brief
description of the pictures in the photo
album, summary of bitmapped/vector images,
credits page/section, and any extra features
to enhance the web pages (optional).
|
 | The photo album had to
include between 5-10 pictures, edited pictures
(optional), a title for the photo album, album
created using presentation software.
|
 | This was a product
descriptor assignment also. |
I created an introductory splash page with a
link to the photo album. I created the album in
PowerPoint with the required number of
photographs, saved the PowerPoint in PowerPoint
Show, PowerPoint Presentation, and as a PDF
file. I created the required documentation
for the brief description of the pictures in a
table format for easier viewing on a web page. I
created a credits page, a summary of the
bitmapped/vector images and added sound and
automation to the slide shows as extra features
to enhance the web pages. I also included
extra navigational options that I learned in the
Web Mastery course. I included a video link to
the movie "Father of the Bride" to fulfill the
video link requirement.
Rationale: This artifact is
included because this assignment
pulled together many of the areas of Technology
Applications that we have studied so far as well
as giving us a glimpse at the upcoming Video
Technology Module. In completing this
assignment we used terminology and honed skills
previously learned in Web Mastery, Desktop
Publishing, Digital Graphics/Animation, and
learned new terminology and skills for
Multimedia. I choose to make the photo album of
my family using photographs from professional
photographers, 35 MM pictures and digital
pictures I had taken. Through the editing,
file compression, and working with the photos I
think I have gained a better understanding of
bitmapped/vector graphics. I think that
the presentation will be a good bench mark to
gage improvement because it is one of the first
real multimedia projects I have tried.
Implications for future: I can see
using a project like this with students in a
multimedia class to review TA skills learned
from earlier courses and as an introduction to
multimedia. As with our group it would
give the teacher a feel for what the students
know and where some weak areas might be that
need to be worked on before diving into the
course. I am also going to try and enlarge
the album and burn it to a CD for my kids for a
keepsake.
Reviewers Comments:
I
really liked how you have your web page
designed. The background for the pictures was
beautiful, and you always show a sense of humor
in your projects! Nice job!

Title: Discussion 2: Movie Integration
Course: 103 A Multimedia: Module 4-
Project Integration
Date Created: March 2003
Source: Course Instructions Modules 3
& 4
Media: PowerPoint, MGI VideoWave 5,
Photo Shop, Real Player, Windows Media Player,
Cool Edit, Front Page 2002, Inspiration
Description: After choosing a
favorite movie or TV show and creating
sound/music from that show in Discussion 1,
Module 4, we were to create a multimedia
project around that show for our culminating
project for the Multimedia Module . The
show I chose was the TV series Stargate SG-1.
We were to target a specific audience and
persuade the audience to watch the show.
Our product had to be appropriate for the
audience and we had to 'sell' it to the
audience. We could present the multimedia
project in any format that we wanted to.
The project had to include the following
criteria:
 | Storyboard |
 | Timeline |
 | Integrate our previously edited sound |
 | Integrate a video clip |
 | Content persuasive in nature |
 | Include credits |
 | Summarize target audience |
 | Give credit to yourself for presentation |
I created a web site to present my project.
I created an introductory flash for my first web
page. This page contained the links to the
other web pages on the web site. This project
was targeted at the young adult and older audience.
I created an automated PowerPoint presentation as my
main "persuasion" feature, as well as a short video
with music and sound to feature the characters of Stargate SG-1. I included a link to a video
clip taken from the Stargate SG-1 television show.
I used a picture of the Stargate and cast as the
unifying background for my web site, storyboard,
timeline, credits page, and PowerPoint.
Rationale: I chose to use this project
as an artifact and as an example of my Best Work because this project was a
culmination of all we have learned not only in
multimedia, but because it also incorporated many of the things
we have learned in the previous TA courses we
have completed. I presented it in web page
format in Front Page with a PowerPoint
presentation inserted and the file compressed.
I reduced the size of the photographs in Photo
Shop and compressed the files. I created a short
video clip with the edited sound synchronized
with the clip. I created the storyboard
and timeline with Inspiration software and saved
them as transparent gifs.
Implications for future: I think a
project like this could be used several times
during a multimedia course. I think it
would be good to have the students prepare a
project like this at the end of each semester
and then compare the two to see the progress the
students had made. I think something
similar to this would be good for teachers to
use to present curriculum material to their
classes. Because of the time constraints
it would be hard to do too many, but even by
adding a few each year just think of the
teaching resource that would be available to
them and the interest it could have for the
students. I know that unless the teachers
have had some training, this would be an
impossible task and most will not take the time
to do this.
Reviewers Comments:
I don't know what you mean by attempt. This is a
great presentation. Your backgrounds on the
pages are a great addition. I enjoyed the slide
show and even though I like the show, I learned
some new things from your information. I hope I
can learn to create pages as good as you have
done. I know it takes a long time to do that and
it seems there just isn't enough time in a day
for me to get things finished.

Oh WOW! LOVE
the background. You put in a lot of work
on your storyboard. It is detailed enough
that students could follow it in class.
All of your links worked. Your pages are
consistent and easy to navigate. I like
the way you described the different parts of the
show. I've never seen it, but your review
makes me want to.
