Interactive+Multimedia

It's always a good day in Interactive Multimedia. Why?? Because the students are enjoying what they do so much that they have no idea that they are working! That's always a plus! Last week we worked on Rebuses. Rebuses are mind puzzles that you can find on the internet, in books, or other places. The students did a little research on them and then they got to work on their own! They did a great job. Some used phrases that they had grown up hearing and others used ideas from the internet. The purpose of our lesson was to find or make up a rebus and use the computer to draw the puzzle using clip art, text, and symbols. They will be displayed in the classroom to show off their skills. On Tuesday we began an "About Me" powerpoint presentation that highlights a few things about each student so that we can get to know each other a little better. I made one as well and shared with the class the love I have for my family, dogs, teaching, and technology. We will share these on Friday, August 27th followed by a short quiz on the notes we have taken throughout the week. Our new books have arrived!!! Starting next week we are going to dive into the world of creating, editing, and managing multimedia.
