•

1.What multimedia resources are useful when you give an information

and instructions to your classmates or to the entire class? How
about in making an explanation? Or narrating the events of the story
you read?
2.Do you think they are effective and helpful? In what way?
3.Do you think your classmates will understand, learn effectively, and
at the same time get entertained from your presentation using these
multimedia resources? Why?
 • What is a Multimedia Resource?5
•
• The word multimedia comes from two Latin roots, multi and
media:
• multi-, meaning several or many, and media-, meaning in the
middle.
•
•This multimedia definition tells us that materials on the
internet, or in your class presentations, involve several forms of
communication to connect (that is, to be in the middle of) the
sender and receiver.
 •Moreover, multimedia is a broad term for combining multiple
media formats. Whenever text, audio, still images, animation,
video and interactivity are combined together, the result is
multimedia. Slides, for example, are multimedia as they combine
text and images, and sometimes video and other types.
•
 • What is a Multimedia Presentation?
•

•A multimedia presentation is a presentation

file which is not limited to just text in terms of
content. For example, it would have interactive
video, sound, links, images, animated gifs and
transitions in it.

• DIFFERENT MULTIMEDIA RESOURCES
•
1. Text Materials
•
• Text is still a primary way to transmit information. It is the simplest and
oldest resource. Text takes us back to how the internet started, as a
means of sending written messages back and forth between
communicators.

• This resource can be used in writing instructions, making

announcements, giving information, narrating events and the list goes on.
Simply print your presentation on any paper, or have it encoded as a word
• document. Just make it sure that the output is readable enough
by your audience.

•Text is also used to augment other forms of communication,

such as a text description of a photograph, subtitles of audio
and video, in slides, and many more.
1. PowerPoint Slides
•
•It is a presentation program developed by Microsoft.
PowerPoint is often used to create business presentations, but can
also be used for educational or informal purposes. The
presentations are comprised of slides, which may contain text,
images, and other media, such as audio clips and movies.

•This resource is best to use in giving information, instructions,

making explanations and in narrating events.
1. Photographs and Other Still Images
•
• Illustrations are perhaps the oldest form of media, Historically,
Gutenberg's printing press in the 1400's enabled mass distribution
of multimedia works containing both text and images. Small
images such as thumbnails or icons are often used as a visual
"entry point" to larger images or more detailed information.
• Text and images sometimes combine in a single form, as
many software programs make it easy to create text art, a
form of lettering that combines a strong visual element as
well.

•Simply take a photograph of your

subject and present it as you orally give
an information, instruction, explanation, or
a
• narration. It is also possible that you use
text as caption of the image.
•
• Your website or presentation can add sound, from a musical
background to a spoken explanation, by including audio files. Even
digital cameras, which is image-based technology have been
engineered these days to record sound as well. Many sound files
are compressed, which reduces the file size without greatly
sacrificing sound quality.

•Simply record information, instruction, explanation, and

narration using your smart phone and play it before the class.
 • Video presents moving pictures and typically
combines images and sound for a
compelling multimedia experience. Of course, videos can
include text as well, which often appears as captioning
for spoken words or as text in an image, as in the case of
a slide presentation. Video files are some of the most
memory- intensive multimedia applications, but clever
streaming methods make their daily practical use.

• With your camera phone, simply record a video as you orally give
information, instructions, explanation or narration. You can also make a vlog
(short for video and blog) and make contents of different subjects.
6.GIFs and Other Forms of Animation
•Animated files occupy a middle ground between still
images and video. GIFs, whichis an abbreviation for graphic image
files, are small files that present a single image or rapidly
display a sequence of a few images to give
•

• This group of resources is best to use when you explain and/or narrate
events that are just short. There are certain mobile apps that help you
create a GIF or any animation such as GIF Maker and Editor, Giphy Cam,
GroupMe, and many others. They can be downloaded for free into your
smart phone.

 • USABILITY OF THE MULTIMEDIA RESOURCES
•
•It is very important to determine the applicability of these
multimedia resources in a class presentation specifically but not
limited to in giving information, instructions, making explanations,
and in narrating events. Following is a table indicating the

 • SIMPLE QUESTIONS TO ASK BEFORE USING AN
APPROPRIATE MEDIA RESOURCE IN A CLASS
PRESENTATION

• Here is a simple guide before you use and select a media resource to be
used in your class presentation. Simply ask yourself the following
questions:
1.
What is my task and my purpose?
2. What media resource is applicable to use?
3. Do I know how to apply such resource in my presentation?
4. Will I be understood if I use this particular resource or the other?
5. Is this resource accessible during preparation and during presentation?
• ACTIVITY 2: WHAT I LIKE

• Directions: Applying what you learned, let us find out what

multimedia resource would you pick given the tasks in the first
column. In the second column, write the multimedia resources
that is appropriate to use. Lastly in the third column, write a
very short reason why you’re picking such multimedia
resource. Use the questions in page1015 to guide you when
you give your reason. Copy and answer
 Task Multimedia Reason
