Edtech 513 – Multimedia, final thoughts

Edtech 513 – Multimedia, final thoughts

So far so good. I did enjoy this class and looking back on it I learned quite a bit. Much of it seems like just common sense, but when framed with actual research based learning principles, it becomes much more tangible moving forward. All of the actual technology that we used for content creation I had previously used with the lone exception of Adobe Spark. Two things stand out for me.

Screencasting is something that I believe strongly in. The ability to take a project and make a less than 8 min video on exactly how to do something, I think is a great learning tool.

Tech Trends: Intel Unite and Wireless Collaboration Tools

Tech Trends: Intel Unite and Wireless Collaboration Tools

Here is a technology that i heard about a couple of months ago but really knew nothing about until this past week. Down in Las Vegas on the floor of InfoComm there are vendors everywhere. I happened upon intel’s booth and was immediately drawn in by the quick demo of Intel Unite. Collaboration and wireless technology is something that I have long been interested in. Getting any and all content from point A to point B and sharing that full…
