Chapter 5:Integrating Digital Media and Educational Software Applications
This chapter explained the similarities, differences, and relationships between digital media, multi-media, and application software. I learned that the terms multi-media, digital media, and technology do not hold one single definition and they often overlap one-another when describing or utilizing one of the terms. Digital media is basically any object that you can click on such as text, graphics, animation, and/or videos (which would function as a link).

Since i am going to become a teacher, i know that the my classrooms will be run using the traditional white and black boards, but because our technolgy has improved massively within the last ten years, i will certainly be able to use the digital media application tool as well. Digital Media Application is the use of digital media technology in education, business and entertainment. As my teaching career gets off of the ground, i also planned on building a Montessori School in the near future, therefore i could take advantage of this tool in that project as well.

Although this chapter was not very exciting and was a slow-read, i found many useful resources that i could possibly refer to in the future as my teaching career takes off. It gave me a few more ideas about my future and how i can make it better so thats all that counts!
