Displaying Multiple Media Simultaneously

Dr. Vered Shemtov taught her Hebrew Land and Literature class in the Peter Wallenberg Learning Theater. In this course, she took advantage off the three screens to display differing perspectives on the same content.

In this activity, students were able to see, simultaneously, three different representations (text, photo, painting) of a specific place in Jerusalem. On one screen she displayed a poem translated into English. On a second screen, she shared photos of a neighborhood that was referenced in the poem, and on the third screen, she had artists' paintings of that same scene.

Dr. Shemtov guided her students through a discussion of the poem; the room’s technologies allowed her to create a layered context for their discussion.
