It is really amazing to see a list of all of the different terms that are used in the develop and creation of multimedia projects. As a special education teacher I am used to using a lot of different acronyms such as IEP, AYP, ELL, ESY, SLD, ED, and so on. So, you can imagine how excited I was to see and learn about new terms like ANSI (The American National Standards Institute character set), API (Application Programming Interface) , Applets (Application Programs), AVI (Audio Video Interleaved), .BMP (Bitmap), and CAV (Constant Angular Velocity), CD-ROM (Compact Disc Read-Only Memory), and ICR (Intelligent Character Recognition). It can be a little mind boggling at times, but I think that I will save this page for future reference on my
Delicious page.

Oh yes...we are in the "Acronym World" aren't we? I never saw so many acronyms until I joined the field of education. :O) Thank goodness we have good glossaries to refer to when we need to know meaning!
