Introduction
This course Instructional Multimedia Design and Development focused on basic elements
and technical aspects of multimedia design and development to support teaching and learning in
diverse classrooms. Included are selection of hardware and software, design principles, hands-on
production, classroom applications, and discussion of issues and useful resources. Within this
course we have developed and followed design principles to design multimedia products. We
applied research-based instructional design strategies and basic principles of multimedia learning
to the design and development of multimedia (Allen, 2012). We selected and evaluated digital
tools for accuracy, suitability, and compatibility with technology infrastructure multimedia.. We
have examined and evaluated principles of visual and media technology related to instructional
media and technology. As well as discussed the ways in which we can utilize these various tools
within our various instructional settings. I feel as though I have learned innovative strategies as
they relate to multimedia design. This is excellent primarily because I am an English Language
Arts Teacher. I am now able to teach students how to develop instructional multimedia to grab
program that targets students in the academic middle and provides these students with different
forms of strategies and methodologies to accelerate them. The tools learned in this course are
extremely helpful in my current role as AVID Site Coordinator due to the fact that our current
AVID Students can utilize these strategies when developing multimedia projects within their
classes.
Review of Learning
Although, Assignment 6 was the most challenging assignment I learned a great deal from
completing this assignment. I actually utilized one of my colleagues as the client. She suggested
that she needed assistance implementing technology within her classroom. I asked her if she
would be so kind to be a client of mine and of course she agreed. It was very fun working with
her.
Specialist. My long-term career goals include becoming a principal at a school that has a school-
wide focus in the areas of Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM);
preferably an elementary school. This is due to the fact that I realize that college begins in
innovation and student engagement in active learning through innovative uses of technology.
Assignment #6 will assist in this area. When developing professional development strategies
these were helpful strategies that were learned that can be utilized.
Conclusion
This is the most important piece of my essay due to the fact that I think that my leaning will be
enhanced by providing and creating a learning environment that improves public education. It is
my goal to improve public education within the perimeters of my classroom now within my
current profession. However, I plan to develop a learning environment that improves the quality
of the school and all of the employed educators in my future career as principal.
