Students are getting more from multimodal learning then single-mode learning. If students are learning more and are more interested from the multi learning,then teachers should teach like this more often. Teachers want students to be more involved in the activities but not many do so in working with single media. "Students engaged in learning that incorporates multimodal design on average, out perform students who learn using traditional approaches with single modes." I think students should be more involved in what they are learning so they can get a better understanding and what they are doing and how to complete the assignments right.
Digital Video-
I think making a class video throughout the school year would be awesome. it can give each student a chance to show off their specialness in what they do. as you get to the end of the school year let the students watched a video then create a blog on what they thought of it or if there was something they would change what would it be. This would give the students a chance to show off their creativity and skills.
Podcasting as a learning technology-
Podcasting is an excellent source for students who are audio learners. They can listen to the communication that the teacher and other classmates upload and have a better understanding of what's going on. It's also a great because if a student is out a day or two that can go back and lesson to the instructions on what the class did those days. They can even do some of the work at home so they can try and say cought up with their fellow classmates.

Using podcasting and video in classrooms really helps to address those multi-modal learning needs. They are engaging tools and students have the opportunity to really focus on the content as they address it in their own creations. Great photos to enhance your post.
