Pedagogical Theories For Multimedia Integration
Research:


 * A Cognitive Theory of Multimedia Learning: Implications for Design Principles: Richard E. Meyer [[file:richardemayer.pdf]]
 * Video Production As An Instructional Strategy: Content Learning and Teacher Practice



British Columbia ICT Learning Outcomes ** ﻿   // Applied Digital Communications: // presentation. // Applied Digital Communications: // >
 * Students expand their “employability” and ICT skills by creating and using multimedia files for distribution and
 * Students use advanced ICT skills to create high-quality electronic documents and presentations that encourage the development of high level communications skills.
 * Students develop a basic understanding of the processes and tools involved in digital video production.
 * Students use advanced software features to create desktop video productions and store files in various formats.
 * Students use advanced software features to create graphics that demonstrate the use of motion, layering, and sound tools.

Instructional Process For Integrating Multimedia



 * Student Checklist or Rubric (sample multimedia checklist)
 * Consider parts of the Unit that worked and those that didn't and document for future planning.


 * Closely monitor the scope of the project
 * Closely monitor the pace (consider giving marks for meeting mini-deadlines such as the completion of research, text, graphics, sound, and publication)


 * Storyboard (assign a mark for this stage)[[file:storyboardingtemplate.doc]][[file:simplestoryboardingtemplate.doc]]
 * Gather Information
 * Brainstorm


 * Plan Unit [[file:unitplantemplate.doc]]
 * Determine Learning Outcomes
 * Determine whether the integration of multimedia is the most appropriate process

Types of Common Video Production
A series of images joined together often accompanied by narration and/or music.
 * Slideshow **

A video which focuses on the activity/process on a computer screen.
 * Screencast **

Footage captured with a video camera. This option affords you the greatest opportunity for creativity but also the highest risk that you might collect too much unneeded footage or neglect important elements so, more than other production styles, video relies upon prior planning and informed production.
 * Traditional Video **

Ideas Below Are From Apple's Education Site.
**Pendulum Motion ** If a digital camcorder and iMovie software are available, students can make a desktop movie of their physical pendulum and use it to more accurately calculate its period. It may also be helpful to have a metre stick in the frame to measure amplitude.

 **A Monumental Task** If you have a digital camcorder and iMovie software, students can film their presentations and create desktop movies to be included on the Internet, or shown during open house or other school functions. For help using iMovie, go to the Desktop Movies in Education website.

 **Problems of the Times** If digital camcorders and iMovie software are available, students can dress in costumes appropriate to the Renaissance period, act out their redesigned math problem, and make a desktop movie to include in their project. These movies could also be posted to the school website or shown at school functions.

** A New Vision of the World ** Students can use a digital camcorder and iMovie software to create desktop movies of the Renaissance Science Faire. These movies can then be edited and included in presentations, placed on the school website, or shown at school functions.

 **Science on the High Seas** Students can use digital camcorders and iMovie software to make desktop movies of their ship log entries. These movies can be exported as QuickTime movies and added to AppleWorks documents or placed on their Web pages to replace or supplement their written logs.

** Disaster Zones ** If a digital camcorder and iMovie software are available, students can take the camcorder into the community to collect video from the respondents to add to their survey. They can edit this video to create desktop movies which they can add to AppleWorks documents or place on a website for viewing by the school, parents, or the community.

** Pattern Detectives ** Students can use digital camcorders and iMovie software to create desktop movies of different phenomena that exhibit periodic behavior and then use those movies for analysis.

 **Constellations** If digital camcorders and iMovie software are available, students can make desktop movies of their group creating their constellation in a shoebox. These movies could be posted to the school's Web site or shown at school functions. For help using iMovie, go to the Desktop Movies in Education website.

** Journey to a New World ** Students could video their presentations to the space review board using digital camcorders. They could then create desktop movies using iMovie software to include in their project. Alternately, the movies could be posted to the Internet, school Web site, or shown at school functions. For help using iMovie, go to the Desktop Movies in Education website.

** Predator-Prey Systems ** Students could use digital camcorders and iMovie software to create desktop movies of cars at an intersection, a track race at school, or of some other interesting "chase" activities. These movies could then be viewed to help determine the corresponding equations of motion or they could be placed on the school's website.

 **Web of Life** If digital camcorders and iMovie software are available, students can make desktop movies of their local ecosystem. They can edit these movies and include them in their AppleWorks documents or on the school's website, or show them at school functions. The movies can also be used for research purposes as a viewing and recording aid.

 ** High School Student Projects **

** Nature's Web ** If digital camcorders and iMovie software are available, students can make desktop movies of their local ecosystem. They can then edit the movies and include them in AppleWorks documents or on the Internet, the school's website, or show them at school functions.

 **Family Matters** If you have a digital camcorder and iMovie software, students can film their presentations and create desktop movies that can be placed on the Internet or shown during open house or other school functions. For help using iMovie, go to the Desktop Movies in Education website.

** Architecture of a Government ** If digital camcorders and iMovie software are available, students can film their convention, create a desktop movie, and review it before they draft their constitution.

 **Chemistry Challenge** Students can create desktop movies of their ChemChallenge problem using digital camcorders and iMovie software. These movies can be saved in QuickTime format and then posted on the school's intranet for other s tudents to solve. Teachers can assemble a collection of these problems for future use as an introduction to a topic or for review.

**<span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,geneva,swiss,sunsans-regular;"> LAUNCH! Studying Projectile Motion ** Students can extend their understanding by attempting launching real springs from an variable-angled platform into a box, placed at a specific range. If a digital camcorder and iMovie software are available, students can create desktop movies of their launch attempts that they can use for further analysis. They can edit the movies and add them to AppleWorks documents or the school's website.

<span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,geneva,swiss,sunsans-regular;"> **Deconstructing Problems in Algebra** Students can use a digital camcorder and iMovie software to create desktop movies of their Work It Out style problem. They can save the in QuickTime format and then add them to the school's Web site or intranet. Other students could then access the movies and attempt to solve the problems. Teachers can also maintain a database of the movies for future use as an introduction to a topic or for review. For help using iMovie, go to the Desktop Movies in Education website.

**<span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,geneva,swiss,sunsans-regular;"> Investigating Exponential Growth ** If a digital camcorder and iMovie software are available, students can film their presentations and then edit them to create desktop movies to include in AppleWorks document or on the school's website.

<span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,geneva,swiss,sunsans-regular;"> **Explorations in Geometry** In phase 4, the students present their activity to the rest of the class. This can be done one pair at a time, or by having the students rotate through computer stations displaying their activities. If the projects are high quality and you have access to video equipment, you can have the students make an accompanying video explaining their project and their approach to completing the project. If digital camcorders are available, students can create desktop movies using iMovie software that can accompany the lesson so that students can "see the authors" explain the goals of their project. These movies can be posted to the school's website or included in the students' AppleWorks document.

**<span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,geneva,swiss,sunsans-regular;"> The Night Sky--Analyzing Celestial Observations ** If digital camcorders and iMovie software are available, students could make desktop movies of the night sky, including their viewing of a space station. These movies can be edited and included in their Appleworks document or could be posted to the school's website. For help using iMovie, go to the Desktop Movies in Education website.
