Collection of developmental resources
http://www.shutterstock.com
While searching under the collections of development resources, I found the website shutterstock.com."Collection of developmental resources includes; clip art,sound effects, photographs,flowcharts, concept maps, fonts, animations and document templets."(Doering 176) Shutterstock is site that has thousands of picture, videos, and illustrations in which can be used in any professional rim."Photographs provide a powerful resource for authors in all subjects."(Doering 179) As a teacher the use of the site would be great for power point presentation. It gives you the opportunity to use something besides those dreadful clip arts that remind you of stickmen. As a teacher who may not like to write on the board, using power points maybe an key ingredient to your everyday classroom agenda. Collection of developmental resources would be a form of hypermedia, which is linked media or interactive media. Outside of just power points, a Science teacher may use something outside of the everyday bone skeleton, maybe he/she want to use a different picture to discuss in class.

Audio/Video Hypermdia
One of the better ways for some kids to learn, is to have an visual aid. Technology is advancing everyday, and one the things that kids enjoy doing is watching television. So why not bring that innovation into your classroom."Teachers can capture video of themselves explaining key concepts."(Doering 190) Microsoft Movie Maker is an outlet that allows you to create and edit video and audio. The good thing about this software, it comes standard on most computers with Microsoft programs."Teachers can use either audio or video examples as way to speak discussion or to help students analyze their own behavior."(Doering 190) In a multimedia class this would be the beginner program to use before bumping up to something like Final Cutt Pro. Which is a more advance program. With a teacher that teaches one of the four main subjects, they can use it as a way to interact with their students."Through analyzing information in video format, students learn how people can use visual images to communicate bias and make persuasive augments in advertisements and new stories."(Doering 191) In a Public Speaking class, the students can use the program to create a speech to show the class without having to stand up in front of the student body. This software falls under the audio and video hypermedia.
Helpful site and software with teaching kids how to use Movie Maker along with sample work for first time teachers. Having a guideline to what your doing is a way to help with time management.

What age group do you feel would benefit from Microsoft Movie Maker? Would it be to complicated for the elementary age student?
ReplyDeleteDo you believe the guidelines in the video go along with the guidelines Roblyer and Doering's out line on page 177 to prevent cognitive overload?
ReplyDeleteI love the idea of using visual aids for learning. I think most children are exposed to technology from a young age, so they should be able to understand how to use everything they're using in the classroom, however if not, it's great for them to get exposed to this type of technology with a teacher there to assist them.
ReplyDeleteShutterstock is such a nifty website! Visual aids can go so far in the teaching world. As the book states, hypermedia can be used to teach students of all learning modes. As a visual learner, I love pictures and videos being shown in class; they can show so much more than you can explain in words.
ReplyDeleteI think it's really important for us to incorporate things like video making examples in class. Not only making videos for the students, but allowing the students to make them as well! Technology is rising to the top, and to involve it within our classrooms will only engage the students further more. The text tells us that involving hypermedia teaches students problem-solving skills because something of these programs can be intermediate to advance (Robyler & Doering, 2013, p.193). If we can get students to think in a different way, other than memorizing material, then we might be able to engage every student into something they are personally interested in!.
ReplyDeleteI am very interested in the Shutterstock website. I just finished discussing copyright laws in my career prep class and this would have been an excellent website to let them know about when I was listing places to view and use copyright material legally or use public domain material. As discussed in the book, technology is expanding dramatically in the classroom. Photos and music from the Internet are becoming a larger part of students work and websites like Shutterstock, that allow students to use material legally, are going to become more important day after day.
