Listen to the following podcast on multimedia in the classroom.

Although it discusses multimedia from the perspective of the elementary classroom, much of the content is also applicable to the secondary classrooms.

Based upon the issues addressed in the podcast, share a lesson you have used or locate a lesson on the web that incorporates multimedia.

Describe the lesson and how the media impacts student learning? Is there a way you might be able to improve the lesson?

Finally, make sure you think about Common Core Standards. Common Core addresses mathematics and English/language arts/literacy at this time. The standards are being increasingly adopted by states.

But, there is controversy as states are suing to opt out-why is that?

Please visit the following links and sources and think about how to use multimedia to support learning for language arts/literacy or mathematics.

If you teach other subject areas, you should still be thinking of integrating content and at least attending to supporting literacy and writing (and speaking and listening) in your content area/discipline.

After viewing the resources, describe how your lesson and media attend to common core.. or not.
