Project-based Learning and Multimedia: What Is It?

      A project based learning method is a comprehensive approach to instruction. Your students participate in projects and practice an interdisciplinary array of skills from math, language arts, fine arts, geography, science, and technology.

          Project-based multimedia learning involves the whole class, whether in groups or as a whole. If the students understand what output is to be expected of their project, they actively participate and each student contributes to the completion of the project. The teacher can only set the goals to be achieved by the students by the end of the project and supervise them.

Lesson 14: MAXIMIZING THE USE OF THE OVERHEAD PROJECTOR AND THE CHALKBOARD

Lesson 14

 MAXIMIZING THE USE OF THE OVERHEAD PROJECTOR AND THE CHALKBOARD

Chalkboard and overhead projector are very useful tools in a a discussion.Maximizing the use of these tools make them more useful and effective.

There's a trivia on why chalkboards are usually called blackboard. Way back then, chalkboards were painted black and white chalk was used. Then people discovered that green is much more pleasing to the eyes and so they started painting it green. But the term blackboard was already hooked up with the tool.

There's a good side to the OHP. When you use a computer, you usually store your presentation in a flash drive. The downside to this is when it has a virus or your flash drive is not detected by the computer. With the overhead projector, you don't have to worry about these things. Just turn it on, put your transparencies on and viola! you get a presentation.

 Just make sure that you don't use them too because you and your students may become too dependent in these tools.
