WANT TO CREATE A MULTIMEDIA CLASSROOM?

A better questions to ask would be:  HOW do we create a multimedia classroom?

Over the past couple of weeks we have been exploring what it means to be a 21st century classroom. 

We talked about how a 21 century classroom… 

• includes creating a collaborative and creative environment and encourages students to reflect on their learning
• takes the focus away from a teacher-directed learning approach, and puts students in the center of discovering and exploring their own knowledge.
• puts technology and multimedia in a larger role to create a bigger impact

We’ve also  unpacked what the research says about multimedia instruction and laid the groundwork for what effective multimedia instruction looks like, as well as how the brain processes multimedia and the positive impact it has on long-term learning.

But - not all multimedia is created equal and if done incorrectly - it could lead to brain processing overload. It’s that whole - too much of a good thing...is no longer good idea.

So, let’s explore how we can implement effective multimedia into daily classroom instruction.
