7. Teacher Nachielle teaches
social studies. Her students, as
a part of their studies of
medieval history, created
multimedia presentation about
the Black Plague. She teamed
with a teacher in Science
department for the unit. In
Science, students created

8. animations that stimulated
how the plague virus attacks
the body. In Social studies,
they created computer-
based presentations looking
at the plague from various
perspectives that included
14th Century farmers and 21st

9. Century scientists. Their
presentations used primary
historical resources, as well as
literature and current events.
The presentation compared
the plague to the AIDS
epidemic of today.

11. Entering teacher
Nicole’s class, you
first notice that every
child is completely
engrossed. Second,
you notice the
cacophony of voices,
rising and falling in
intense and
animated discussions
among small groups
of third graders.

12. You look at the teacher – she isn’t
conveniently located at the front of the
room. Finally, you see her down among a
group of students. You wait for her to
notice you as she shows the group how to
use an index of a book to find information
about shelter of a tribe of Aetas.
As you wait, your eyes move from
group to group. At the computer, three
boys are typing

13. some text they have composed for their
presentations. A group of girls paints a
colorful scene of a tribe of Aetas’ village
to be scanned into the presentation
software later. Another group of boys
uses a Venn diagramto show fooda in
their own diet, foods in “their” tribe’s
diet and food they have in common. You
want to ask them about their work but
can’t break their concentration.

14. Teacher Nicole notices you and starts
toward you, but each group of students she
passes stops her to proudly show off their work
or ask her to check something. She finally
reaches you and starts to explain the various
activities the children are working on to prepare
their multimedia presentations – content
research, art, language arts, math and
technology activities she has designed for the
project. You talk for almost 10 minutes before
you notice the most amazing thing of all – the
children are all still working, still engrossed,
animated and focused.

15. A class that
EFFECTIVELY
employs
PROJECT-BASED
MULTIMEDIA
LEARNING is
HIGHLY
ANIMATED and
ACTIVELY
ENGAGED.

16. The teacher does
not just stay in front
of the class
lecturing. She
monitors the
students as they
work.

17. Do you
think the
content
will be
sacrificed
if we use

19. It is a TEACHING METHOD in
which the students “acquire
new knowledge and skills in
the course of designing,
planning, and producing
multimedia products”.

33. Students end up with a multimedia
product to show what they learned.
They are not just authors of academic
content, but also, authors of multimedia
product at the end of the learning
process. As they work, they employ life
skills including decision making.
