I found the DDDE model outlined in the first two chapters of the book to be extremely influential. As I was reading through these chapters I thought about all of the multimedia experiences I have had in my education and I wished that my teachers and professors had used the DDDE model. The DDDE model really requires the educator to think thoroughly about the assignment that they are giving. I also think that it requires the educator to experience the multimedia themselves before presenting it to students. This allows for a less flawed lesson and an easier understanding on the part of the student. I also really appreciate how the evaluate section requires the educator to reflect on the activity as well as revise it for the future. I cannot count how many times I hear educators say, I forgot to fix that from last year. How can we as educators learn if we do not reflect and revise our previous work? I feel this is an extremely important aspect of teaching and the DDDE model requires it.
