When I hear it, I\u00a0draw a blank. I\u2019m sure it\u2019s supposed to have something to do with media, that is what the project is about, but multi modes?<\/p>\n<p>When I first heard the words multimodal, there wasn\u2019t much of a reaction. I kept waiting to finally understand what I was supposed to be doing.<\/p>\n<p>So, I waited. And I waited. Then I waited some more\u2026and some more\u2026and then some more afterward. But nothing.<\/p>\n<p>When I started seeing people put together infographics and when we had the first meeting with Christina Ri, (I may have to have a dedication post for her as well) I realized that the word that I had been looking for was media. We were to use different forms of media.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019ve taken many English classes, but my favorite in high school was Newspaper. Being the page editor and an author, I became very close with InDesign, which is a software that helps to design pages like newspapers and magazines. And if it\u2019s Adobe, it\u2019s going to be difficult.<\/p>\n<p>But, since I figured I\u2019ve suffered enough for most of us, here\u2019s a quick video of the basics.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Adobe InDesign For Beginners - FREE Course - Tutorial Course Overview &amp; Breakdown\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/iHDy_nEvgd4?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>But, since I already had a vague understanding of the ins and outs of InDesign, I decided that I had decided. Yes, that does sound weird, but it\u2019s the truth. I closed out of Google, stopped searching \u201cmultimodal\u201d and set to work.<\/p>\n<p>The process after this is a story for another day, probably very soon. But to keep you on the edge of your seat, it&#8217;s about translating. I&#8217;ll leave it at that.<\/p>\n<div style=\"width: 510px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/media2.giphy.com\/media\/QoesEe6tCbLyw\/giphy.gif\" width=\"500\" height=\"269\" \/><p class=\"wp-caption-text\">Source: Giphy<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Does anyone know what multimodal means?
