Interactive+Multimedia+Projects

====This was my first nonlinear Power Point. It was not difficult to complete once I understood how to link the slides. I will have many uses for this tool in my classroom developing tutorials and having students create projects.====

====Developing this storyboard for an Interactive Multimedia Project (IMP) using Power Point helped me organize and visualize the project. It was clear to see how the curriculum connected across subject areas, and how the state and NETS standards were met. I really liked the focus on essential questions because they help students understand the focus of the lesson, and can serve to motivate the students. I think this will be a good tool for students to use to manage their IMPs.====

I liked the creativity involved in making a Voice Thread. It challenged me to use new tools, such as my digital recorder (which I had not figured out yet), Voice Editing program(to upload the audio clips), and Audacity. I liked using Audacity compared to another program that I had previously used because editing was much more exact and easier to do. I think my students are capable of making Voice Thread IMPs, and I look forward to working with them to try it out with them. I have included the pictures I had to edit to achieve the "Under the Sea" slide. I edited them on Photoshop, and it was very time consuming due to the fact it was the first time I had tried this type of editing. On the final slide, I used imported clip art for the shell and the fish swimming about with some animation added, and I used the drawing tools to add the seaweed and coral.
