EDED20491 Reflection 4.1 ImagesImagine all the things we could do with blogs in a classroom, using even the simplest image! There are so many ways to make and use images! I haven't had time to explore them all this week. As an exercise in gleaning information from images. I have inserted a photograph of a mystery object on this page. The colour boxes contain exercises, representing the SAMR levels of a simple exercise that could be incorporated into the blog page for a history class. Mystery object

Moving ImagesEDED20491 Reflection 4.3 VideoSometimes, videos can teach us more than the written word. An engaging format, video can bring a subject to life. There are many ways to create videos: iMovie, PowerPoint, Windows Movie Maker, Audacity, Nero, the list goes on. I have used all of these methods to create movies for museums (except iMovie because I have only just received one as a birthday gift and have yet to play with it extensively). The movies that I have created are fairly basic really. They don't have to be fancy to get the message across. Videos with sound embedded have been received tremendously at the museum. One video (made with PowerPoint) is really just a slideshow of images from World War One, with music from the era embedded. Each image has a caption containing the details of where and when it was taken. The context has been announced on the title page. The video is quite long, yet visitors will sit and watch the video until its completion. If the images were framed and placed on the wall, I highly doubt people would examine each one thoroughly (we wouldn't have the space to hand all the images anyway). This is an indication that video is an excellent format for presenting images and imparting information. One visitor was so impressed that he went home and created his own video on Vietnam and presented it to me for use in the museum. A Answer the following questions:
