33: Planning
Your Multimedia Product
Homework
for the Teacher
It marks the beginning of an important stage in the multimedia process: planning.
While it is true that you play a facilitative role in the classroom implementation
of multimedia, there is a great deal of pre-planning that must occur if
the use of technology is to impact achievement. Allow these activities to provide
a simple, organized approach for facilitating the planning stage, and hopefully,
things will progress smoothly for your students throughout the creation phase.

Strategy Spotlight
Empower! Help
students use a variety of "fix-it" strategies to repair comprehension
breakdowns independently. Listen to students describe
their reading problems and then respond by modeling techniques
to address the problems. Ellin Keene and Susan Zimmermann, authors
of Mosaic of Thought, describe reading problems that go
beyond the failure to decode words and understand their meanings.
Refer to their chart, on pages 201-204, to understand the more
subtle features of reading obstacles and to see examples and
practical classroom solutions for each of those problems.
