Weekly Blogging Assignment #1

Hello Meaghan,

I am glad to see that you are planning to be a teacher and good for you to be a summer camp leader:) With your goal in mind, I think it would be extra helpful for you to learn about multimedia teaching styles as you can experience them as a student for now. I can see that it is already a reflective learning experience as far as it goes. As Mayer points out, words and pictures complement each other motivating high-quality knowledge-learning experiences for students (2014). Besides, we are already experiencing the teaching style of “think, pair and share” as we are members of a same learning group and I am now replying to your thoughts. We are starting to use all sorts of techniques here, and I am sure we will all have a valuable learning experience this summer.
