Multimedia in lecture/presentation

Using pictographs and infographics is a simple way

Podcasts

Playing podcast can be a way to supplement a lesson that your are presenting to your class. This is a great way to engage auditory learners.

In a high school setting you could propose an assignment where students analyze a podcast related to a subject or have them create their own.

Live Video instruction

Having a special guest in the classroom is not always limited to someone physically coming into the room to teach your students. With the use of technology you can video conference (live video) with a teacher from another school or even an expert in the topic at hand. Using sites like Skype or Google Hangouts can give students another perspective on something.

This is also very useful in terms of Assessment As Learning. Students can prepare questions they want to ask the guest ahead of time in order to have a more fulfilling and experiential lesson in the classroom.

Video Lessons

Videos can be used as stand alone lessons in the classroom. In most cases these are used as a review for the topic that is being discussed. Websites like Teachertube are a great resource for educational videos that can relate to any topic in the curriculum.

This is a great resource for visual learners as it gives them more of an experience than just listening to a lecture. There is more of an impact as it gives students a different perspective from just their teacher.

Virtual Field Trips

Another form of this is by using websites like Google Earth to view a place that you may be visiting on an actual field trip ahead of time in order to enhance student experience

Google Earth

Visit places typically out of reach by virtually visiting them through websites like Google Cardboard this gives students a chance to see places they may not normally get to see in their educational careers

This can help students by giving them real world experiences.

Noise Control

There are a variety of applications and websites that teachers can use to control noise levels in the classroom. Applications like Too Noisy can be projected as a visual representation of the noise level in the room. This helps to keep disruption to minimum and can almost become a game in the classroom.
