This week we talked about designing instructional media. I never really thought about how much time goes into designing things such as powerpoint slides and presentations for large crowds. There are so many ways to get information out there to people from personal webpages to emails to online articles. Yet how you construct such resources is important as well, because it's important to get your point across in the simplest manner possible.
One day I will be designing Powerpoints for my classroom and it's important to know what works and what doesn't when it comes to design. Obviously when constructing a powerpoint it's crucial to find the right background and text colors. You want the font to be the right size for all eyes to read and you want to keep distracting symbols and pictures to a minimum.
This video I found on Youtube put together by UCLA students, explains how we get our information from various sources these days. There is so much information available to us. There was one quote that really got me thinking... "If you're not using a computer you're obsolete". It is apparent we rely heavily on computers this day for our information and communication, and it's very important you check the validity of these sites before believing them to be true, because almost anyone can put anything on the web.
