 Creativity and Innovation: Students demonstrate creative thinking, construct knowledge, and develop innovative products and processes using technology.  Research and Information Fluency: Students apply digital tools to gather, evaluate, and use information.  Technology Operations and Concepts: Students demonstrate a sound understanding of technology concepts, systems and operations.

 Matching the Objective to Computer Functions- multimedia tools are used when there is a match between multimedia functions and your objectives.  Research and Analysis- the problem statement should focus on tasks and problems that students feel are relevant and worthy of solving. A multimedia presentation can be part of a problem unit in which students have collected data and need to present the data.

 Results Presentation- the results presentation for a multimedia presentation is a natural extension of the data manipulation step. You need to provide some guidelines to the students regarding expectations for the final product.

 During Computer Use- Identify what the students will do while working on computer? Then prepare the materials they will need.  Before Computer Use- if they are creating a presentation for example, you may have them create an outline.  After Computer Use- generally involves reviewing and proofing their production etc.

 Focus of assessment can be on the subject- matter knowledge and skills and/or a variety of technology-related aspects.  Rubric is used.
