3+-+Multimedia+Lesson


 * Module 3: Multimedia Project**

__**Objectives**__ In this module, you will:
 * Research media literacy
 * Research the NETS and Wisconsin standards
 * Develop a multimedia project lesson plan

__**Introduction**__ Multimedia can be fun but overwhelming. With so many different programs and resources to use with our students, it can be difficult to determine which tool is best suited for each project. Researching those resources is half the battle, but finding ways to incorporate the benchmarks/learning outcomes can be difficult as well. In module 3 you will be given the opportunity to research the standards that relate to your subject matter and grade level and create a multimedia project that will be useful to you and your students.

__**Class Reading Assignment**__ To begin, teachers must develop an understanding of what media literacy and why it is important. Watch this video to begin to develop an understanding of what media literacy is.

Developing a lesson plan that infuses multimedia and results in a multimedia-based end project created by students can be a daunting task at first. Review this website that focuses on the four key stages to developing a multimedia lesson plan: Multimedia in the Classroom

After reading through the Multimedia in the Classroom site, respond to this prompt on the blog post: //Brainstorm several ideas that come to mind as you consider the lessons/content you teach and the ways that you could alter that lesson to infuse a multimedia project. What potential benefits for the students are obvious? What are the downfalls? What concerns do you have about the project?// Brainstorm of Multimedia Lesson Plans blog post

__**Module 3 Action Assignment:**__ //**Lesson plan w/ Multimedia Project**// Lesson plans should demonstrate your planning throughout the course of the unit/project (including instructional delivery days for content). Remember that many multimedia tools are typically new to students, so consider building in teacher-guided tutorials, extra work days, and leeway time at the end of the project. Also, students/groups tend to finish at different times (depending on the project), so consider building in additional activities that will keep students/groups that finish early occupied.


 * Must include a unit plan that identifies daily lessons/outcomes/due dates for entirety of project
 * Must include a grading or standards rubric (please see Module 4 to properly create this rubric)
 * Must include a "finished project" checklist that will be given to students
 * Must include at least one alternate activity addressing understanding of multiple intelligences (please see Module 4 to learn about multiple intelligences)
 * Must identify key Wisconsin State Standards or NETS
 * Must include content standards to be met
 * Must cite sources in lesson plan

//**Multimedia Project (Choose one)**// > __**Module 3 Discussion Questions**__ In David Warlick's article Technology and Teaching, on his blog, 2 cents worth, he makes a strong statement about the value/necessity of utilizing technology (in our case multimedia elements) in the classroom. Please post your responses (positive or negative, agree or disagree) on our class blog post and respond to at least one other person's response: Responding to Warlick's Blog blog post
