Reflection

Advanced Multimedia Design is one of the most interesting courses in the Instructional Technology program. All of the assignments completed in this course were applicable and have enhanced my curriculum and classroom instruction. Utilizing Wix.com to create a flash website was great and this site can be used to enhance daily instruction and provide pertinent information to my students and their parents. In addition, Web Widgets can assist in providing relevant information that is necessary for student success and creating a high-quality learning environment. Completing a screen capture using Jing was another great tool to aide in the success of my students. For instance, students can access lessons and get content information necessary to be successful in my class and other courses. Finally, making use of Animoto to create professional quality videos as a flash presentation is great and has enhanced my career greatly. All of the skills that I learned in EDT640 are embedded in my mind and I will continue using them and searching for new tools to advance the learning experiences of my students.
