7. Digital Media Animation=graphics that have the illusion of motion Audio=sounds, music or speech Video=visual frames that are played back at speeds of 15 to 60 frames per second and provide full motion in real time
8. Digital Media Applications Involves the use of digital media technologies in education, business and education. Simulations=computer-based models of real-life situations “how-to guides” Can provide safe alternative to dangerous experiments
9. Electronic Books and References Electronic book or e-book=small, book sized computer that allows users to read, highlight, & bookmark online text
10. Virtual Reality Use of computers to create an artificial environment that appears and feels like a real environment The user can explore & manipulate the environment http://secondlife.com/?v=1.1
11. Drill and Practice Software A good tool to help students with remediation Remediation is reviewing content many times and using alternative methods until the concept is grasped
12. Distance LearningAKA Distance education/web-based education/distance learning/distributed learning=the delivery of education from one location to another Blended course= has a combination of face to face meeting and online course sessions
13. Web Based Learning and Distance Learning Web-based course=online course, taught primarily on the web Blended course=a combination of face to face class meetings and online course sessions Web-enhanced= a traditional classroom course that uses the web to “enhance” the content
14. Tutorial=designed to tutor or instruct, often used to learn a new concept. http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/powerpoint/HA100742261033.aspx Branching=nonlinear approach that offers alternative paths through a tutorial based on students’ responses.

Editor's Notes
Digital media is the realization that computer engineers have had for years.
Originally multimedia did not have to be digital. For example a multimedia presentation could have incorporated a slide show for visuals, tape recorder for audio and an overhead projector for text.
Because more software apps have become available and hardware has become more efficient at handling more than one media the term multimedia has been coinedDigital remember is the binary form of real world information.
There are standard collections that come with the software or program such as word, you can purchase collections, or use web-sites
Convey motion more vividly than with text alone
Math Blasters is a popular remediation software in the district
Riverdeep=Interactive math and literacy software used in the district
Harry Wong has a must have book Called The 1st Days of School- never pass up a chance to see him, I drove to Miami he was so incredible and practical.
