Multimedia Tools

Multimedia enhances our messaging in a variety of ways. SMS (text messaging) is the most well known form of messaging in the world of modern technology.  With our little cell phones we are able to send words, photos, sounds, and videos to the intended recipient. As an iPhone user, I am also able to send contact information from my address book and information about my current location via maps. This allows me to communicate easier with the person on the receiving end of my messages. With multimedia I can relay information quickly and more accurately.


Multimedia is not simply limited to our phones. Using computers, there are other elements of multimedia, which can easily be accessed.  Educational Technology Resources (https://aartechresources.wikispaces.com/Multimedia+Tools) shares an array of multimedia tools. Being a MAC user, I am most familiar with iMovie. I have used this application on various projects. In Spanish class I used it to create videos of me telling stories in Spanish. I created videos in high school as a means to summarize what I learned. I also used it in college when doing presentations. This multimedia tool I feel is more so useful when sharing information or knowledge.
