I am enjoying the classes at UNT way more than I anticipated! First of all, the Adobe Creative Cloud subscription might be my favorite thing on the planet. It has given me access to all kinds of awesome software that I have always wondered about! With each class I take, I am learning more and more about how to use these softwares and I. Am. In. Love.
This week I dove into InDesign and Adobe Acrobat to create an interactive PDF. I watched tutorials that made me realize, "AHH!! THAT'S how companies make interactive pdf catalogs that I download from their websites!!!". I assumed it was some kind of crazy-complicated software and after this week, I feel as if I could do it! A simple catalog. Maybe I'll make one for the little business that my mom and I have! ...in all of my free time! ;)
...Back to class! As far as using this for instruction, absolutely!! I think I could make some really cool things, even for my kinder babies! I think that being able to combine audio, text, AND visual is great! Especially if I could figure out how to highlight the text to go along with the audio! That would be a real plus for my students, but I'm guessing a complicated task to create such a thing! So maybe I'll leave that to the professionals! ;)
I think that including all three types of media is a great way to make sure that you are meeting the needs of ALL of your students. I cannot think of any potential issues, but as with everything, I am sure there are some!
