Planning+Page


 * 1. Authentic Assessment Activity: ** Now that you have determined the topic for your workshop, you can start thinking about the kind of authentic assessment activity you would like to include. **//Begin with the end in mind//** and decide what kind of product you would like your participants to create to demonstrate that they can apply the principles/content/skills they learned in the workshop.

**Participants will create a mini lesson in the subject and grade level they teach using one of the three applications discussed within the course. I am focusing on student engagement, the mini lesson will mainly address how the participant focuses students attention using creativity within the participants grade and subject matter. **

**2. Presentation: ** Determine what kind of presentation would be most engaging so participants can learn the basic concepts and skills needed to complete the authentic assessment activity.

**Because I want to actively engage my participants in this workshop the presentation will be hands on. If a participant has a question, than I will be able to answer verbally in order to clarify any misunderstandings or problems that may come up throughout the course. I will be using videos from youtube and powerpoints. **

**3. Graphic Organizer: ** After you develop a general outline for your workshop, create a graphic organizer to help focus participants’ attention on the key points of your presentation. This organizer will help participants actively engage and focus on key points in the presentation.


 * We will use a 3 circle venn diagram to compare and contrast the 3 web 2.0 technologies we will be using for this workshop. **

**4. General outline: **

I'll be periodically sending out emails to registered workshop members counting down the months, weeks and days until the workshop.

The workshop will focus on web 2.0 tools to keep students actively engaged in the classroom.

The workshop will start at 8:30 and end at 3:00 which will include a working lunch.

**<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;">5. Pre-Training: **<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;">When you have an overview of the concepts and skills you are presenting, you may decide that there is a need for pre-training to provide advanced teaching for your participants. Mayer suggests that this can help clarify concepts that may confuse learners and “set the stage” for learning. Pre-training should take place as an activity or introduction prior to the beginning of your presentation. Think of a creative, yet effective way to accomplish this task.

**<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;">The pre-training activity will consist of viewing & discussing 2 short videos on creating a video and positing it too teacher tube. And then view and discuss 2 short videos on creating wiki’s. The participants will also view 3 educational wikis to get an idea of what can be done using a wiki. The participants need to complete this technology in order to understand what the key expectations of the class will be. **

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">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?


 * I will be including video, audio, text and pictures to actively engage my learners. The students will get together with others that teach the same subject and create a group wiki for their grade level and or subject they teach. They will link videos, audios and presentations to their wiki's.<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"> Participants will create a wiki and link information to their wiki. **

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;">2. What kind of multimedia presentation must you create to effectively present key concepts and skills to your participants (video, PowerPoint, podcast, screencast, interactive tutorial, or other)? How will you include Mayer’s principles of dual coding and limited capacity in your presentation?


 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;">I will be using a powerpoint with audio, pictures and text to make sure that I have all the diverse learning styles covered leading to success for all my workshop attendees. I will make sure that I do not overload the attendees with too much information via text, audio or video. I will make sure that the material is short, and clear to eliminate any confusion or cognitive overload. **

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;">3. What kind of graphic organizer would be best to give your participants to help facilitate learning in your workshop?One that sows the steps and terms.

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;">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 be using a 3 circle venn to aid the workshop attendees in understanding what each web 2.0 technologies we are using and how they compare or contrast one another. My power point will have the steps for making a wiki page.**


 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;">During the pre-training we will be focusing on short videos to give an overview of the web 2.0 technologies we will be using during the workshop. We will also have handouts that participants can use to follow along in the presentation. **

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;">5. What equipment will you need to conduct your workshop (projector, laptops for each pair of participants, Internet connections, other)?


 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;">We will need a computer lab with internet access, lcd projector and laptop with poerpoint in order to show my prsentation. I will need a printer handy for those that may want to print the handouts out otherwise we will be following along with the presentation as each attendee completes the task at hand. **

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;">6. What online applications might you use?


 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;">We will be using teacher tube, you tube, slide share, wikispaces, google docs, bookmarking sites and other online applications needed to successfully complete this workshop. **

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;">7. How will your participants collaborate on their projects? How will you group them to create authentic assessment in your workshop?


 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;">Participants will be assigned in small groups according to grade level and the subjects they teach. The group will be evaluated by the rubrics posted. Collaboration will occur several times betwwen participants in a given subject or grade level area. Collaboration will also occur between groups as questions are asked and answered **<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;">. **The participants will complete a rubric on group members.**
