First, I made my own avatar. If you want to try it, go to dookyweb.com/avatars.swf And then, I learned how to make interactive poster. Go to http://edu.glogster.com/
You will learn how to insert text, hyperlink, images, audio, video, and special effects.
I got the lesson which learning is a motivational creative expression. Such an activity inspires students and teachers to be storytellers. I will try to make a poster for students by combining glogstar and DE streaming builders.
You can enjoy lots of information the following link.

Charter and Discovery Education Day of Discovery
50 Ways to use Discovery Education streaming
Overall, when I sat a chair in the room 207 at first, I was overwhelmed by the atmosphere. I felt passion for education of the American future. All teachers were eager for learning new tech stuff and discussing about solving the current problems. Even though I could not understand all what they said, I could follow the outline of the day. What I realized on that day is the scientific American mind. I have learned the strength of American education to empower next generation. Nevertheless, I am wondering if how many teachers use materials such as Discover streaming resources or not in class now. I hope all teachers will continue to learn diverse thematic subjects and try to use them effectively for kids.

Pros vs cons hypermedia in class
Multimedia Vs. Hypermedia
Multimedia means that there are multiple mediums of communications working together to send messages within a given presentation. These include audio, video, and animation in addition to traditional media (e.g. text, graphics drawings, and images). Multimedia as a word resonates with 90's buzzwords associated with the tech and dot-com booms. Media, already in plural form, required no modifier grammatically, but sloganeers found the term to be useful in providing the powerful draw of the "newness" of new media and technology business.
Example :*Windows media center (an entire computer dedicated to multimedia)
*Apple iphone (An all in one multimedia, communication and organization device)
*Xbox360 (not only a game console, but a device that can be used to listen to music, play movies, videos, browse the internet, download many types of files, network with other computers to stream media, and can be paired with many accessories that emphasize multimedia through human interaction)
The World Wide Web is a classic example of hypermedia, whereas a non-interactive cinema presentation is an example of standard multimedia due to the absence of hyperlinks.
shortly, What is the difference between hypermedia & multimedia?
Multimedia means that computer information can be represented through audio, video, and animation in addition to traditional media (e.g. text, graphics drawings, and images).
Hypermedia, a term derived from hypertext, extends the notion of the hypertext link to include links among any set of multimedia objects, including sound, motion video, and virtual reality.
