Chapter 8 Multimedia and Media Literacy

Objective: Clarify actions that are important in each of the multimedia design process phases: the preproduction phase, the production phase, and the postproduction phase.

Preproduction: Identify key ideas and brainstorm how to get them across to others. Put brainstormed ideas into a sequence. Anticipate what supplies will be needed. If needed, get permission to use supplies. Practice using supplies.
Production: Begin, and complete project.
Postproduction: Plan the presentation of the complete project. Practice using equipment for presentation. Allow someone else to view and and give editing ideas for completed project as a second opinion. Make multiple copies of finished work, possibly adding it to a portfolio.

When using multi-media equipment in the classroom, how do we know what equipment is appropriate for each age group?

I love the idea of making movies for language classes because they incorporate written language, with spoken language and BODY language which is often lost when listening to an audio tape, or reading a script!
