In week 4 we learned about web resources, multi-media, and hypermedia. These three tools are very useful in the classroom. Web resources are instructional activities that can be accessed through the internet. They provide students with further instruction and are great because they cost the school no additional money. An example is Brain Pop, which provides web tutorials and instructional games. Multi-media is a program that contains a combination of text, audio, still images, animation, or video. Hypermedia is a program in which graphics, audio, video, plain text, and hyperlinks intertwine allowing a person to navigate through information in a non-linear fashion.
These tools will be very useful in the field of education. Web resources help teachers to provide information to students without having to continuously give oral instruction. Multi-media is very useful, for it caters to many different learning styles and promotes creative thinking amongst the students. Hypermedia has been shown to motivate students and help improve their writing skills. Since, I am going to be a teacher; I will certainly be using these educational tools in my classroom.
I had never truly understood hypermedia and multi-media. I am very excited that I now understand both and will be able to use them in my classroom when I become a teacher. Below is a video further explaining multi-media.
