Project-based Learning and Multimedia
Project-based learning redefines the boundaries of the classroom. Project-based multimedia learning does not only involve use of multimedia for learning. The students end up with a multimedia product to show what they learned. So they are not only learners of academic content, they are at the same time authors of multimedia product at the end of the learning process. The goals and objectives of a project are based on the core curriculum as laid down in the curricular standards and are made crystal clear to students at the beginning of the project. The students work collaboratively over an extended time frame. As they work, they employ life skills including decision making. Their learning task ends up with a multimedia presentation through their multimedia product.

Reaching with Visual Symbols
Visual symbols requires more preparation and more learning. Visual symbols include drawings, cartoons, strip drawings, diagrams, formulas, charts, graphs, maps, globes and etc. Visual symbols will be made meaningful if we can use them as summaries of our own direct experiences or our own rich indirect experiences. The proper use of visual symbols will contribute to optimum learning. The collection, preparation and use of these various visual symbols depends to a great extend on our own resourcefulness and creativity. They may be used in different ways and in different phases of the lesson depending on our purpose. If we use them skillfully, our classroom may turn into a beehive of busy students.
