Module 9: Multimedia Tools

How does multimedia enhance our messaging?

Multimedia tools give us the opportunity to make our messages interactable. Providing a message is pretty simple in today's social media focused society. There are numerous sites that give individuals the opportunity to put thoughts out into the web. What makes those thoughts any different from some other blog, tweet, Facebook post, or site? Online writers must harness any chance to keep readership, and keep them engaged with the message of the publisher. Multimedia tools allow writers in online communities to make their messages visually appealing, easy to engage with and often times they are considered interactable for the audience. Having a reader push a button to watch a video, or create blog that is visually appealing and unique is part of the process to set one page out in a sea of messages.

What are the better multimedia tools?

iMovie, and Garage Band are some of the greatest tools out there. The summer camp I worked at for three years taught video to the kids using iMovie, and they could create commercials and short films with ease, and the finished product was very high in quality. My pals from college have a radio show and they use Garage Band to generate their podcasts. From their experience, they have never had a glitch and they said that it is one of the easiest tools to use online.

  1. I love your comment about messages being interactable! Good thought. As a former Windows user who uses Apple products, programs, and apps as much as possible now, I can relate to iMovie and GarageBand. I can make audio and video that is fun and I don't need to know much!
