    Welcome to #UKEdChat. Tonight for the next hour we are discussing 'Using multimedia in the classroom'. Who are you and where are you from?
  • ICTmagic - Moderator Mar 30 @ 3:02 PM EDT
    #UKEdChat Q1. What do you understand multimedia to be and how effective do you feel you use it in the classroom?
  • LumiciSlate Mar 30 @ 3:03 PM EDT
    Lumici Slate is easy to use & needs no staff training, demonstrate value for money & build capacity #Schoolled #TSC #ukedchat #teachers
  • digicoled Mar 30 @ 3:03 PM EDT

    A1: Multimedia is an art that is not limited by any one medium. I like to think that I use it to good effect #UKedchat
  • ICTmagic - Moderator Mar 30 @ 3:05 PM EDT
    Would an electric razor count in that case? #UKEdchat

    #UKEdChat Q1 again What do you understand multimedia to be and how effective do you feel you use it in the classroom? Use hashtag in replies
  • ICTmagic - Moderator Mar 30 @ 3:07 PM EDT
    Perhaps the reverse - A beard might be handy for wiping the blackboard. [Come on... admit you've thought of doing it!] #UKEdChat
    In reply to @digicoled
  • MarcNeesam Mar 30 @ 3:08 PM EDT
    A1: Multimedia = giving same/related lesson content in different forms. Effective use is when it supports learning. #UKEdChat
  • ICTmagic - Moderator Mar 30 @ 3:09 PM EDT
    #UKEdChat Q2. How can video be used in class and what are the pros/cons? Remember to use the hashtag in replies.
  • rondelle10_b Mar 30 @ 3:09 PM EDT
    A1 Any device / software / sites that allows teaching and learning using different media (audio/video/images etc) #ukedchat

    Do you think haptic feedback counts as media? #ukedchat
    In reply to @rondelle10_b
  • rondelle10_b Mar 30 @ 3:11 PM EDT
    A2 In many ways. In Sci, sometimes use it to show practicals which can't be done / very difficult to obtain results #ukedchat
    In reply to @ICTmagic
  • digicoled Mar 30 @ 3:12 PM EDT
    A2. #UKEdChat - Pro - Video can help explain/show things that books & talking just cannot.

    A2 #UKEdChat Con: Videos streamed can show unsuitable videos/adverts, and online can buffer midway :-(
    In reply to @ICTmagic
  • ICTmagic - Moderator Mar 30 @ 3:13 PM EDT
    So the entry level of prior knowledge/skill is lower? Might that stunt the pupils' mindset? #ukedchat
    In reply to @digicoled
  • MarcNeesam Mar 30 @ 3:13 PM EDT
    A1: Depends if video media is used as vessel for learning e.g video about X, or is the focus of the learning e.g film making #UKEdChat

    It can be a great stimulus to start a debate #ukedchat
    In reply to @ICTmagic, @MsMorrisTeach
  • MarcNeesam Mar 30 @ 3:19 PM EDT
    #ukedchat is content consumption too passive? No guarantee of what learners are taking away from it?
