Aim
The aim of this lesson is to provide teachers with
a working knowledge of incorporating graphics,
video, and multimedia into their Web pages.
Rationale:
The World Wide Web changed the face of the Internet
by adding visual interest through
graphical images, sound, and video. As the
Internet continues to evolve, users will begin
to demand more from Web sites than the current offering
of colorful graphics, animated
gifs, and occasional sound/music. Interactivity
will become the standard of Web pages in
the future and those sites which engage the visitor
will be more accepted than those that offer
only a mono-e-mono user environment.
Multimedia will bring the world of animation, real-time
video, motion, and digital quality sound
the desktops of teachers and their students and
this will be the foundation on which true
interactive Web sites will be based. Multimedia
opens up a dynamic world of visual stimulation
that ignites the imagination, lends itself toward
increased creativity, and makes the Web a fun
exciting, and interesting place to be. Teachers
can incorporate simple multimedia into classroom,
school, or personal Web pages with realitive ease
that will make their sites stand out from the
crowd.
