Module 5

Multimedia Publishing on the Web

So, hopefully by now you have a pretty good idea of what the potentials are for creating, publishing, and sharing written content. But the good news is that working with digital photos, audio, and video is not much more difficult. And in this day and age, multimedia can be a powerful way of capturing and delivering whatever message you might want to communicate. Even better is that most multimedia production and publishing tools are free on the Web. So there's not much reason why you and your students (and your schools) can't begin to create and post all sorts of interesting content for your audience to consume.

Media Literacy

“When people talk to me about the digital divide, I think of it not so much about who has access to what technology as about who knows how to create and express themselves in the new language of the screen. If students aren't taught the language of sound and images, shouldn't they be considered as illiterate as if they left college without being able to read and write?”

—George Lucas, filmmaker (Sept.2004, Edutopia, Life on the Screen)
