STORYBIRD

 




Storybird is an online social platform for storytelling. Students act as authors by writing stories as they wish. Students can compose text, but they can't upload their own art; they must use Storybird's curated collection in their picture books and illustrated poems. Apart from reading stories, most of the features of storybird require a paid account for both teachers and students. After signing up or logging in, students can read published stories or create their own. They can repost favorite stories to their own Storybird account feeds, heart stories they like, and comment on them. Students can explore what their classmates have written in the class library or click on the Read tab to browse stories using a variety of filters. When students are ready to create their own, there are three possibilities: picture book, long-form (think chapter book), and poetry. To get started, students choose which format they want, then browse Storybird's art collection to find illustrations that inspire their writing. After students choose the art, the editor launches and allows students to choose which illustrations to use, add text, and create as many pages as needed to complete their story. Students can save and publish stories from the editor and can invite collaborators to work on stories with them. Completing writing activities earns crowns, which is an illustration of "success".

SECOND LIFE

New Second Life users select their avatars from generic male and female templates (residents and their avatars don't necessarily share the same gender). Although a resident could use an unmodified template, everyone else would know that he or she was a new user who doesn't know how things work. Most residents customize their avatars a little before leaving Orientation Island. One important factor in avatar customization is the inventory. The inventory holds hair, skin, objects, animations, and body parts and has an infinite capacity. A user can open his or her inventory and choose to put on or remove items, like clothing or hairstyles. Residents can add to an avatar's inventory at any time, creating a practically limitless numbe...

MAYER'S COGNITIVE THEORY OF MULTIMEDIA LEARNING

Resim
                 Mayer's Cognitive Theory of Multimedia Learning Firstly, let's get to know about the multimedia principle. The multimedia principle states that “people learn more deeply from words and pictures than from words alone”.  However, simply adding words to pictures is not an effective way to achieve multimedia learning.  The goal is to instructional media in the light of how the human mind works.  This is the basis for Mayer’s cognitive theory of multimedia learning.  This theory proposes three main assumptions when it comes to learning with multimedia: There are two separate channels known as auditory and visual for processing information. And, it is also referred to as Dual-coding Theory, Each channel has a limited capacity, Learning is an active process of filtering, selecting, organizing, and integrating information based upon prior knowledge. Humans can only process a finite amount of information in a chan...
