Chapter 6 – Teaching with Multimedia and HypermediaScenario #4 Ms. Warnick is an early

years teacher who wants her students to prepare an electronic portfolio they can take with them to display their work and what they have accomplished throughout their school year. She would like this to include film footage as well as digital samples of their work.

Electronic Portfolio: is a collection of electronic evidence,

assembled and managed by a user, usually on the web. E-portfolios are both demonstrations of the user's abilities and platforms for self-expression, and, if they are online, they can be maintained dynamically over time (also known as an e-portfolio).

(Wikipedia)

What multimedia tool would you recommend that Ms. Warnick use to address this problem?

Multimedia Authoring Tools, Type 5: Web 2.0 Authoring Tools.

What would be the relative advantage of using this tool?It includes online user-generated content

websites(Ex: e-Portfolios).

These authoring tools are freely available to anyone with an Internet connection (great for schools).

Web 2.0 technologies are redefining the notions of reading, composing, and performing processes to infuse digital literacies that students use daily into English language arts curriculum. (Doering, Beach, and O’Brien; 2007) Motivational for students.

What would be the relative advantage of using this tool?e-Portfolios typically are comprehensive,

organized collections of assets, descriptions, and reflections.

Students reflect on learning in multiple formats.

Students receive feedback from teacher and classmates.

Showcase work on-line to different audiences.Web 2.0 is finding its way into mobile

technologies, ex: cell phones, iPods, etc…, that many students carry with them - easy, immediate access.

Sample of a High School Electronic Portfolio

Helen C. Barrett states that:The electronic portfolio is a trend that will

continue into the future (districts are looking into this concept).

Most commercial e-portfolio tools are focused on the product while some of the Web 2.0-type tools enhance the process of the portfolio.

Preparing students for the future

If she wanted teachers to assist with this activity, what would she have to make sure was done before the portfolio concept was introduced?

She would need to get the teachers on board with the idea by: Discussing above advantages.Showing how it matches the NB3-21C

document:1) Support portfolio preparation and presentation.2) Use technology to foster communication and collaboration, including electronic messaging, multimedia publishing, video conferencing, shared authoring tools and social networking applications.

Show Forms of Assessment.

Nick Rate (2008)

She could show a video explaining the rationale behind electronic portfolios.

YouTube video showing Rationale and Overview

She would need to speak to D.O. to have IT group help set up a secure web space with passwords.

Teachers would need to identify what they themselves know about their T-Pack.

Arrange tutorials for teachers (mentors or on-line).

Find out students prior knowledge in this area to help direct instruction (may find some peer helpers by doing this).

Set up blocks of time in the lab.

Refer to Evaluation Checklist for a Technology-Integrated Lesson when creating lesson plan.

Use a rubric for assessing: Electronic Portfolio Rubric

Use the SafeKids site to train students on internet safety and how to be a good online citizen.

hange by H. Barrett

What are some disadvantages of creating electronic portfolios using this tool?More difficult to set up as compared to a

video or paper portfolio.Security issues. Some students may not want to show their

portfolio to other students or receive feedback from others.

No access without computer (paper portfolio can go anywhere).

Scenario #5

Grade 8 Language Arts Spelling test every Friday – accounts for 10% of

mark; No time during the regular class period for

students to practice; Many students are poor spellers based on grades

and are not practicing the words outside of the class;

How does a teacher address this problem?

Solution:Microsoft PowerPoint with

multimedia integrationThe Spelling Show.pptx

The Relative advantages of using PowerPoint software for spelling are:

Reinforcing learning through audience participation;

Paired audio and visual stimuli;Recreational gatherings; Sequence the spelling presentation to

automatic transitions – saves time!

Teaching Students Through Their Individual Learning Styles: A Practical Approach by Dunn and Dunn

Dunn and Dunn write that “learners are affected by their: (1) immediate environment (sound, light, temperature, and

design);(2) own emotionality (motivation, persistence, responsibility, and

need for structure or flexibility); (3) sociological needs (self, pair, peers, team, adult, or varied); and (4) physical needs (perceptual strengths, intake, time, and

mobility)”

How to Present to Different Types: VISUAL LEARNERS AUDITORY LEARNERS KINESTHETIC LEARNERS

WRITE IT SAY IT DEMONSTRATE IT

provide written materials and exercises State the information • Demonstrate how a

principle works

Write key words on board or flip chart

Ask audience to describe specific info

• Ask them to practice the technique

• Ask them to write a response

• Provide discussion periods

• Encourage underlining and highlighting key words

• Use visuals or graphics Encourage questions Provide real-life simulations

Ask them to be recorder in a group

Foster small group participation Offer hands-on activities

• Involve them through visual/spatial sense

Utilize audiovisuals and audio cassettes • Involve them physically

PowerPoint with multimedia integration:Addresses the needs of the AUDIO and VISUAL learner.

What about the KINESTHETIC learner?

To meet all the learning styles: have different groups of students create the PowerPoint each week students will be motivated to create and present students who create the presentation that week will be learning the spelling words by working with them
