Our Future High School - Multimedia Presentation

J017
Résumé, summary
The students created a multimedia product,"Our Future High School," during the activity.
The students made a questionnaire in order to find out which information was needed for selecting the high schools. Then they picked up the important information from the school catalogues of many high schools. They designed screens and links of the multimedia product.
We used the multimedia software called "TownsGEAR" for the FM-TOWNS computer. The students drew pictures and typed texts easily. They also input some music data from system CD, and recorded their own voices. Moreover, some high school students who graduated from the junior high school also recorded their voices and gave some messages.
This activity helped the students develop the skills of selecting and organizing many different types of information.

Pédagogie, pedagogy :
Multimedia activities involve a great deal of work for the students. The students select necessary references and organize them using the multimedia software. The teacher is no longer an instructor during the activity, and the students can spontaneously create a multimedia program.
Apprentissage, learning :
The students have to select important references in order to make the multimedia products. Moreover, they try to design appropriate screens and links for the user. Therefore, they develop the skills for organizing and presenting information.
Enseignement, teaching :
The students can spontaneously work on the multimedia activities. Although the teacher can provide some important information to the students, he/she needs to encourage the students to think how they can organize the information appropriately.

We used a multimedia software called "TownsGEAR" on the FM-TOWNS computers. The students can draw pictures with a mouse, type texts, input some music data from system CD, and record and play some sounds. They can also easily input still pictures form the video camera.

The students developed the multimedia products cooperatively. They also met some graduates and interviewed them.
