Final Presentation (Hearn) for Multimedia in the Classroom (DCIU)

1. Michael Hearn’s Multimedia Project :
Applein a Tornado
(or)
First impressions of a new challenge

2. Moving from vaguely familiar, but still undefined
processes,forms and ideas:
to jumping into the unknown
Being able to learn online guided my decision to attack head on those voids in my knowledge and experience;
enhancing those areas where I knew would enhance my expression as an artist and communication as a teacher

3. Realizing whimsy and celebrating the
familiar
I was able to pursue some notions and create new images for my kids to enjoy , to
communicate humor, to re-examine memories and to practice visual expression
What are toads looked like in their abode
What our toads were imagining (perhaps)

4. Audio was a Beast !
and after hours of trial and error I have some results.

5. Working online through Moodle allowed me to create tangential paths out of habitual circles

Playing with and experimenting with Movie Maker allowed me to get to create the first of what I hope to be many
Instructional videos that could add dimension to my students’ classroom experience (though more editing could help).
