Documentation:DIY Media Toolkit Template/How does it support learning

There is no set format for this section. Feel free to use lists, quotes, images, or any combination thereof to explain what the specific uses for your tool in learning are. Some bullet points from other toolkits are below.

Some uses for <<NAME OF YOUR TOOLKIT>> in learning include:

• Effective working memory capacity can be increased by using auditory and visual working memory together rather than using one or the other alone (Sorden, 2005; Mayer,2001). The lightboard's requirement for real-time narration/lecture combined with annotation supports this principle.
• Annotated presentations allow students to review important concepts at their own pace, with the benefit of expert instruction
• By using stop motion animation, you can create custom animations of complicated physical processes, without needing to know how to use computer animation programs.
