Developing multimedia projects requires skill not only in crafting how all of the media elements will be combined to communicate a message but also in designing the content and message of the presentation. Various forms of scaffolding can be used to guide students through the process of creating multimedia projects that effectively communicate an idea or message. This session introduces the use of story maps as a scaffolding tool to design the content of a multimedia project. In addition, participants will learn how to use and teach their students to use mPower5™ to create multimedia presentations.
Module Objectives
