Planning+Page+(Multimedia+Presentation)

1.How will you include Mayer’s principle of active processing in your authentic assessment activity? What kind of product will your participants create to demonstrate their learning using multimedia technology? My authentic assessment for this project will be for teachers to create a Skype account, learn how to use the different features, and add users to their address book. In order to meet Mayer's principle of active learning, I will have teachers interact in a collaborative community where they can discuss the different features of Skype and how they are using it to either Skype with students, other teachers, or in their personal lives.

2.What kind of multimedia presentation must you create to effectively present key concepts and skills to your participants? How will you include Mayer’s principles of dual coding and limited capacity in your presentation? I will use an interactive tutorial using YouTube to present key concepts and skills, which incorporates dual coding and limited capacity by visual clues.

3.What kind of graphic organizer would be best to give your participants to help facilitate learning in your workshop? I will use a bubbl.us to explain key terms and elements of Skype.

4.What concepts in your presentation will require pre-training before you begin the workshop? How will you use multimedia to engage your learners during the pre-training phase? I will use bubbl.us to show the learners a tetrad of Skype to help them understand the new concepts with Skype (instant messaging, voice vs video conferencing).

5.What equipment will you need to conduct your workshop (projector, laptops for each pair of participants, Internet connections, other)? I will need desktop computers with video cameras attached and unlimited access to the internet.

6.What online applications might you use? Youtube/Skype

7.How will your participants collaborate on their projects? How will you group them to create authentic assessment in your workshop? They will be collaborating through Skype, whether it be instant messaging or video/voice messaging. I will group them according to their abilities and levels with technology.
