Multimedia and Contiguity Principles

The first project in EDTECH 513 was to create an educational slides show that reflected my understanding of the Multimedia and Contiguity Principles using the Google Docs Presentation tool. I chose to create a slide show that teaches the primary steps of video production for my middle school film class. In creating the slide show, I was sure to choose images that clearly reflected the specific concept I was trying to convey on every slide. As the Multimedia Principle outlines, I attempted to use a very small amount of text and let the visuals further illustrate the information provided in the narration. I was also careful to follow the Contiguity Principle, which states that corresponding images and text be in close proximity to one another. Here is the slideshow, created first in Keynote, then imported in to Google Docs.  For speaker notes, click on the cog wheel icon at the bottom of the screen.
