One of my favorite projects every year involves multimedia. At the beginning of third semester, my class begins the poetry unit. It is when my students have the most creative freedom. I take the opportunity to also allow them the freedom to make their projects as creative as they can get. I require a powerpoint at the minimum. But I also strongly encourage imovies or moviemaker projects. It takes a lot of work on the students part, but they seem to enjoy the experience. As a highly qualified educator in my school district, I will use this information to educate myself. In turn, this will enable me to become a better teacher and communicate these lessons with my students.  I will also share what I have learned with my colleagues and administrators
