in a fortuitous situation, I encountered the book Cambridge Multimedia Learning Handbook, which inspired me with utilizing technology in classroom teaching. "Meaningful Learner" is a term mentioned in the book. "How to make students meaningful learners in K-12 level teaching" becomes a question in my classes recently.
Besides "meaningful learner", students and I also discussed "multimedia learning and instruction", "behavioral activity vs. cognitive activity", " Technology-centered vs. Learner-centered", " two goals of learning" and "three kinds of multimedia learning outcomes"
I asked each student to teach me a word within 20 seconds using multimedia instruction. And I learned "bae", "emoji", "exotic", "syzygy", "swag", "xenphobic", "impavid", "pyrophoric" and "pretzel".
However, I haven't reached "meaningful learning" yet, which asks for a good remembering as well as good understanding. But my students and I are going to "dig" it more with multimedia teaching/learning
The picture attached is the word "emoji" presented with multimedia.
