Group 3 Tools

Multimedia Resources for Presentation Purposes.

Multimedia is short for multiple media and simply means using technology to bring together words, photographs, sounds, animations and video. It is a very powerful way for students to learn and for teachers to reinforce and redesign core learning. Group 3 tools are used to present learning or information. They are capable of interactivity and multimodal sources. They may be viewed by person on stage, projected, transmitted, or played locally with a media player. Digital online multimedia may be downloaded or streamed. Streaming multimedia may be live or on-demand. Students can take their own photographs, videos, record their own voices and collect information from the internet to produce an educational and or entertaining multimedia presentation.







Power Point.

Power points are presentation tools which support oral presentation. It supports embedded audio so students can record their narration of the power point and listen and re-record their presentation prior to the presentation date. This alleviates nerves associated with oral presentations yet still allows development of spoken skills. Power points can be interactive by making drag and drop activities for students, create concept maps or to brainstorm ideas. Glenna Shaw has some great ideas at the following site to help make your power point powerful. PowerPoint Magic http://www.pptmagic.com/

Prezi. 
Prezi is presentation software that opens up a new world between whiteboards and slides. The zoomable canvas makes it fun to explore ideas and the connections between them. The result: visually captivating presentations that lead your audience down a path of discovery. Prezi allows students not just to present but also to justify, explain, illustrate and give examples of information they have collected so their thinking and reasoning can be followed throughout their learning journey. The following YouTube give further insight into this versatile presentation tool.

Glogster.

A Glog is created using a very easy to understand, drag and drop border that is linked, enjoyable, and accessible for students of all ages and learning styles. A Glog is an interactive visual platform in which users create a “poster or web page” containing multimedia elements including: text, audio, video, images, graphics, drawings, and data. This tool allows students to present information in a poster format with multimedia technology. Once projects are complete, the teacher can share students’ work in a variety of educational settings. Glogs can be embedded in a blog, wiki, or web page or shared with others using Glogster EDU’s innovative presentation capabilities. Information on how to create a glog for classroom purposes can be found at this web site. http://edu.glogster.com/
