Hypermedia Products:
Commercial Hypermedia products are used for many Educational purposes. One type of software that I like, is interactive storybooks. This type of software is used widely inside the classroom today. Click on this link interactive story books to browse the different books that can be read to students. This website offers a wide variety of books for students of all ages. I think the students would like this option, as it helps bring the story to life and it also gives the teacher a break from reading aloud. The interaction with the stories can be beneficial for every student in the class. It can really help the ELS, which may have a difficult time pronouncing words. This resource helps students enjoy reading at their pace.
Multimedia Authoring Tools:
Audio and Video Production and Editing Systems are
great to use in the class. This tool allows students and teachers to create
videos to share. Students can become more comfortable with using technology
using these tools. The school tube website is great. Students can see celebrities reading books aloud and
also upload videos they have recorded. This would make a great way to have students’
present assignments. Students can share their videos with their parents and
friends. Watching and listening to your favorite celebrity read your favorite
book can be fun and interesting. I could see students really enjoying this website.
Here is a video of an interactive storybook video.
I also chose interactive storybooks for my hypermedia product and, I believe they are very successful in the classroom! The book explains that different studies have concluded interactive storybooks help build students' enjoyment of reading. These storybooks offer a unique and exciting way for students to experience reading.
ReplyDeleteI also chose school tube as my authoring tool. I've found that teacher tube is very similar to school tube and if you can't find something on school tube you could search teacher tube. Interactive books are a great product to use in the classroom it helps students to become a more confident reader.
ReplyDeleteI think we all chose interactive storybooks in our blogs! I completely agree with you, Erika, that using interactive storybooks would be very helpful for ELL students. It would even be beneficial to students with many different disabilities. I feel that having students create their own videos to show the class and their parents would be a wonderful idea.
