Reflecting
on what I know (chapter 9)
1.
1. How
can my students use multimedia for their projects?
v One
lesson our class have been working on is the continents. We were studying
different animals from each continent. The class could have done a presentation
using multimedia to share pictures, videos and information about each animal.
v Our
class is planning a trip to the Aquarium and beach. We have been studying
animals that live in the ocean. I think that a power point presentation would
be wonderful for them to use to share their experience with the class. They
could include pictures that were taken, videos and include narration to
describe what was going on.
v Doing
story time, we read the story the three little pigs. The children were put in
groups and they made mask and drew pictures of their houses and had a student
out of each group to be the wolf. Using multimedia the students could create a
movie of the reenactment of their version of the story.

2. What
applications are available for creating a multimedia presentation?
Our computers have the following
programs: Windows movie maker, DVD maker, Microsoft word, Microsoft PowerPoint.
3. 3. Should I place limits on how my
students use multimedia? I think in lesson three the
children would need the most help with the trip to the beach. I think the video
part would have to be already on the computer and allow the students to pick
parts of the video to include.
Reflecting
what I know (chapter 11)
1. 1. What
are the benefits of using problem-solving or educational software?
Educational
Software - Jump Start Kindergartens - Kids build essential skills
and get a head start on 1st Grade with the help of fun animal friends, music,
and animation! Master key skills in Math, Reading, Science, Spelling, and more!
Problem-solving Software – Jump
Start 3D Virtual World Quest for the Color Meister -Things are going along just fine in Camp Jump Start
until suddenly a mystery begins to unfold. Frankie and the rest of the Jump Start
gang need your help to set things right.
2. 2.How
do I choose the correct software?
You need to look for content accuracy;
research- based instructional strategies, alignment with instructional
objectives, and assessment of learning and ease of use.
3. 3. When
I integrate problem-solving or educational software into a lesson, what changes
will be needed? The NTeO lesson plans requires 10 steps whereas when using
problem solving and educational software there are only 6 steps to be
addressed.
