Challenges and Favorites

Blog Response Prompt:

What are you most excited about having learned about Multimedia in Instructional Design? What will be most challenging for you as you leave this class and move forward in your teaching education?

The most exciting thing that I have learned about Multimedia in this class is just all the different types of items that are available. There are so many options out there and a lot of it is free. With all these items available to teachers we should be able to make class a fun learning environment. The challenging things are going to be having the means to do it all. Some classrooms just do not have the computers and other technology to do all that we may want to do. Moving forward is not that easy when many classrooms are stuck unable to move at all. I think that is going to be the most difficult just having the ability to provide to all students what we may want to do in the classroom.

Changing Learning Styles

What do you need to change in your thought process or learning style(s) to begin to adapt to R-Directed thinking for the purpose of creating 21st Century learning environments for students?
I am a L-Directed thinker so to change my way of thinking to a R-Directed thinker would be difficult. I have to go from thinking analytically to thinking aesthetically. I would to begin to become a visual learner less of a book learner. In order to make it a better environment for students, I believe by using more presentations and multimedia ways to have a more conducive learning environment for the 21st Century students and R-Directed thinking.
