LESSON-15 PROJECT-BASED LEARNING AND MULTIMEDIA: What it is?

                 We need to make use of a combination of learning resources or media to make our teaching as concrete as we can so abstractions will be clear and meaningful. This is a method of learning that utilizes multimedia,project-based learning.
                 A class that effectively employs project-based multimedia learning is highly animated and actively engaged.

INSIGHTS AND REACTION:

               Project-based learning and Multimedia adresses the basic knowledge and skills all students are expected to acquire as laid down in the content and performance standards and competencies of the K to 12 basic education curriculum. Every student is absorbed in a task in line with the goals and objectives made clear at the start. Time has wings.Time flies so fast that students don't feel its passing. Teachers does not just stay in front of the class learning. She monitors students as they work. Students consult her for guidance and comments. She does not impose her will on students. She allows students to make decisionsfor themselves. The intellectual powers of the students are very much challenged as they read, research for basic information and as they analyze and organize these bits of information. Much of their technical skills learned from their computer courses and creativity and imagination are demanded when the students produce multimedia presentation by using multimedia produced by others.
              Project-based multimedia learning is a value added in teaching. It is a powerful motivator. Find time to orient the students on what are expected of them, guidelines, goals and objectives of the project and more. These are some limitations in the use of project-based multimedia. One limitation is the need for an extended period of time. Another limitation is the basic computer courses did not teach them the skills demanded by such strategy, there will be a problem. To resort such problem, find time to learn devotely technology. Third limitation is the tendency to lose track of the goals and objectives of the lesson because the technology aspect has gotten the timelight. It does not only involve use of multimedia for learning. Students end up with a multimedia product to show what they learned. The students work collaboratively over an extended time frame.As they work, they employ life skills including decision making. Their learning task ends up with a multimedia presentation through their multimedia product. Be familiar with the computer. Firstly, familiarize its' basic parts, learn how to use it, and learn how to apply it. Be literate, be exposed and be confident in dealing with others. Share knowledge and skills in computer to the illeterate and novice.
