A MODE is the genre or category of media tools [slide shows, comic books, paper slide shows, animations]. AFTER creating the content for TYPE of Communication - the next decision is the MODE of media-making that will be used to package the content. As a last choice . . . will be choosing from the array of tools to create the MODE being made. Take a peek at Bernajean's YouTube Talk video clip below - enjoy sooo many creative and engaging ways to package your thinking, content and messages!
WARNING!!!! - a quality production requires more than knowing the tool functions - strive to help student authors also become fluent in the "syntax and grammar" of each MODE. For example, there are so many horrid slide shows! It's not about just using the technical functions but being able to design with an understanding of syntax and grammar that holds attention and activating "sticky learning" for that MODE!!! "Presentation Zen" by Garth Reynolds which discusses the syntax and grammar with principals of design will accelerate any presenter's craftsmanship and success!
The same is true for any other MODE - consider learning the technical AND syntax of these MODES simultaneously! That is the winning path to creating GREAT communication media! Check out Bernajean's upcoming Micro-Credentials [MC] hosted by Consilience for bite-size learning in each MODE.

GOOD NEWS. . . Bernajean now has Micro Credentials with learning the syntax and grammar for many of these various MODES to support teachers coaching their students in these communication skills. Email Bernajean for more information about Workshops, Webinars and Micro Credentials @ info@digitales.us
