I really liked your simple description of what multimedia is- I thought it was simple enough for anyone to understand, yet insightful enough to explain the complexities of it. I agree with you that rich experiences are a very important aspect of interactive learning using multimedia. This resonated with me, as like many of us had said, I learn best when I am interested and engaged with the subject matter. For myself, stories and activities really help with this.
I personally have never been very interested in video games, so I did not realize the degree of which these games could be integrated into a learning environment to solidify and build on learning. I would really like to discuss this further with you so I could get more comfortable with some of these ideas!
I too wondered about the idea of having “too much” technology in the classroom. My concern is that the technology may become to focus of the lesson, rather than the content and big ideas. I am looking forward to discovering more about this.
