By implementing multimedia technology into your teaching toolbox you’ll be able to redefine the traditional “one-way” role of a teacher by getting learners involved in the process. When you incorporate film, music, games, and/or digital media components into your lesson plans, you’ll be on the same media-savvy playing field as many of today’s digital learners. In the Teacher Tech Thursday sessions, you’ll learn how podcasts, videos, online modules, and games can be invaluable additions to your lessons. More importantly, you’ll learn how to create those elements. Whether it’s making interactive visual media using professional industry tools, shooting and editing your own films or images, recording and distributing a podcast, or using any of the other hardware and software you’ll be working with, the tools in your hands will open an innovative and interactive world of teaching possibilities.
