1) How can my students use multimedia for their projects?
Multimedia is seen pretty much on a daily basis so it can be difficult to discern how, exactly, a student can use it in their projects. The great thing about multimedia is that since it's so diverse, there are several options students can turn to- if they know where to look. Multimedia presentations can take the shape of something as simple as a powerpoint with both text and pictures, or as difficult as a self-produced documentary on global warming, complete with narration. Students can be as creative- or not creative- as they wish. Other multimedia may include graphics, photographs, and animations (Morrison & Lowther, 235.)
It can be easy for a teacher to assign a multimedia project. Assignments can be specific: "Create a slideshow hilighting all of Shakespeare's works." Or they can be general: "Your assignment is to use some form of multimedia presentation to display what you have learned about the solar system."
