• Multimedia vs. Hypermedia


• Multimedia - multiple media, the media can be still graphics and photographs, sound, motion video, animation, and/or text items combined in a product whose purpose is to communicate information in multiple ways.


• Hypermedia - linked media, items of information whose meaning were connected but that were stored in different locations.


• Current and future impact of Hypermedia on Education - Increased Motivation, Flexible learning modes, Development of creative and critical thinking skills, Improved writing and process skills


• Ebooks are no longer copyrighted so they are cheap and sometimes free downloads for teachers and students.
• Power point presentation grading rubric pg. 189
• Video production can allow students to create videos that illustrate real-life examples of concepts they have learned or document conditions that they want to bring to life.
• Video Lectures *** Teachers can capture video of themselves of other experts explaining key concepts. These videos can support and extend in-class discussions; they also come in handy if students miss the original presentation or want to review material in a visual way.
• Web 2.0 - blogs can be used for students to keep essentially a journal of thoughts, ideas and descriptions, blog authors can upload images, videos, links, and other documents to support their content. Podcast, i really love the idea of these for students whom have missed the class and need to catch up. They can hear the same content presentation as everyone else.
• Web 2.0 is freely available to anyone with an Internet connection which is cost effective for classroom use.
