This presentation explores innovative strategies for integrating multimedia in educational environments. It covers key aspects such as lab infrastructure, software selection, and pedagogical methods that enhance learning. We discuss the importance of tailored solutions for computer labs, digital transmission technologies, and effective classroom management. By utilizing advanced teacher strategies and resource management, educators can create dynamic learning spaces that foster engagement and knowledge retention. Join us as we delve into the essentials of modern educational media centers and technology integration.

Things Techies Like to DoBefore or During Vacations • Look out the ___________ (‘98). • Hope they don’t catch a ________ before they go. • Ty-______ one on. • Plan so it won’t be a _______ drive. • Pack their __ed, __reen, and __lue underwear. • Making sure the _____ (5) is fed and cared for.
System Types Intranet/Internet digital • Digital-Both LAN and I-net based • Wired / ISDN / wireless • Compression necessary • Real-time limitations • Digital transmission rates constantly increase • Lowest first cost because switching (and waiting) is done by the provider • CAT 5+ cable or Fiber
Computer Lab Integration Define the Purpose, Function and Flow • Is it a netware or software solution? • Is it a hardware solution? • Is it a hybrid solution? • Is a distance learning application also to be available? • Assemble the architecture based on building block methodologies - back to our example.
Computer Labs What would a lab plan look like?And, how about the wiring?.....AAAAAHHHHH

The Media Center Define: Needs / Operations / Staffing • Content • information - data • media - CD-ROM, analog, digital • Transmission needs - How far do I go? • Operations flow • Staffing needs • Support space requirements
Conforming Software toExpected Needs Remember: Programming your needs are customized elements to your system • Scheduling systems • Softwired remote controls • Reconfigurability • Event and connection independence • Sample programs! • Broadcast station
Acquiring Infrastructureand Systems Necessary Steps • User programming • Preparing estimates/seeking grants • Dividing the work • EC/MMSC • Preparing bid documents • Infrastructure/systems integration • Qualifying bidders • Construction administration • System commissioning
Before We Get to Pedagogy, It’s Time for …Classroom Jeopardy
Classroom Jeopardy • When a group of teachers from a prestigious catholic college were recently asked what its state-of-the-art classrooms should have, what five items were the most important to consider? Let’s start the music and get our contestants down here Track 2 @1:25

Multimedia and ComputerLab Integration Pedagogical aspects of the learning environment • New teacher strategies • Use of resources • Professional development • Advanced preparation • Simply put, this means ...
When, How and Who • When will it be used? • How will it be used? • Who will use it? • Build it, and they will come!
New Teacher Strategies • Chalk, video, digital • Distance learning • Satellite conferencing with interactivity • Voting and testing electronics • Independent computer lab instruction • Prepared “select” demonstrations of broad and specific topics
Use of Resources • The classroom is no longer a cave in which small amounts of information are disseminated • The classroom is a virtual learning space in which resources from around the globe are presentable
Professional Development Introduce the users by including them • Teaching styles and requirements • Where things are best located • How things are changed • What’s it like to be up there
Advanced Preparation Practice makes perfect • Practice rooms are comfort spaces • It should work like a phone • It should be simple to change • Technology must not interfere with teaching -it’s an adjunct
What Does It Take? • Production • Time • Trials • Compatibility
Sights and Sounds Target your audience • Military, INFOCOMM, or Girlscouts • Visual > ~10% persistence of memory • Auditory > ~40-50% persistence of memory
Resolution!!! Exactly what do we see??? Go to overhead if we have time!

Question? What do George Lucas and INFOCOMM have in common?
Answer They are both converging on the robustness and acceptance of thedigital media chain! Recording/Editing/Distributing/Showing (DLP) (e.g., Star Wars: Episode I - The Prequelin only four theaters in the USA) (Distribution through the I-net)
The ProblemColor Resolution • Whites Yellow • Blue Purple • Skin Color Faded to Dark (Mannequins)
Who Should Design Your Systems? • Professionals with errors and omission insurance • Trained engineers with communications mastery • Certification does not equal licensing • Society registration does not equal licensing • An engineer must be licensed by the state to provide engineering
What We’ve Covered More than a mouthful • Distribution - local or remote? • Facilitation - it’s a complex world out there! • Look~feel~touch…accommodation! • Prepare for change • The scariest thing? • Programming in two (2) months - committing is scary
