Multimedia design Since we are developing an instructional design for teachers and administrators in the field of technology, I believe PPT would be a very useful tool for presenting a large portion of our instruction. With PPT, we are able to incorporate a variety of technology into the instruction. In addition to the universal Microsoft software, other excellent tools for our message design could be the use of:
TeacherTube
Teacher Tube is an excellent website designed with student-friendly videos, audio recordings and documents that can be used in the classroom for instructional use. This site allows teachers to add content or use the content already uploaded.
VoiceThread
With VoiceThread, group conversations are collected and shared in one place from anywhere in the world. With no software to install, a VoiceThread is a collaborative, multimedia slide show that holds images, documents, and videos and allows people to navigate slides and leave comments in 5 ways - using voice (with a mic or telephone), text, audio file, or video (via a webcam). Share a VoiceThread with friends, students, and colleagues for them to record comments too. Users can doodle while commenting, use multiple identities, and pick which comments are shown through moderation. VoiceThreads can even be embedded to show and receive comments on other websites and exported to MP3 players or DVDs to play as archival movies.
Animoto
Animoto automatically produces beautifully orchestrated, completely unique video pieces from your photos, video clips, and music. There are 3 great features of Animoto.
You can choose your images. Animoto syncs with Facebook, Flickr, Picasa, Photobucket, and SmugMug to get your images in a snap. Add text and emphasize specific images with the touch of a button.
You can choose your own music. Music is at the heart of an Animoto video — upload your own mp3 or choose from our collection of tunes in several different genres.
You can watch and share. Watch your video in HD on Animoto.com or share it on Facebook, YouTube, your blog, or a DVD. It's fast and easy to post to websites or download.
The incorporation of “new” technology into our instruction will spark an interest in our learners, and it will keep them attentive during our presentation. Multimedia aspects of any instructional design are just as critical as the instructional itself.
