Planning


 * 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?
 * To ensure that workshop participants are learning through active processing in the authentic assessment activity, they will construct a glog using Glogster EDU to create their own presentations including verbal and visual information on one of the common core standards for their grade level. Mayer (2009) states that, "the outcome of active cognitive processing is the construction of a coherent mental representation, so active learning can be viewed as a process of model building" (p. 68). By creating a glog, participants will demonstrate their ability to use multimedia technology and provide students with resources and information for project-based learning in an effective way.


 * 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?
 * I will create a PowerPoint presentation to introduce key concepts and skills to the workshop participants. This presentation will include information about the benefits of project-based learning, how multimedia should be used to present information, and how Glogster EDU can be used for providing instructional resources and for students to create their own presentations of knowledge gained. I will apply Mayer's principle of dual coding by including text with audio, as well as graphics, and follow the theory of limited capacity by eliminating extraneous information from having to be cognitively processed.


 * What kind of graphic organizer would be best to give your participants to help facilitate learning in your workshop?
 * I will provide workshop participants with a handout and link to a Concept Map made using Bubbl.us. They will be able to get an idea of the key concepts that will be discussed in the workshop, share what they already know about project-based multimedia learning, and take note of what new concepts they learn throughout the workshop.


 * 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?
 * Participants may need pre-training to learn how to create an account using Glogster EDU and set up accounts for students. To engage learners during pre-training, I will create a tutorial using PowerPoint to give them instructions with screenshots to understand how to create accounts. I will display the tutorial on the active board for all participants to see as I guide them through the appropriate steps and provide necessary assistance. They will also gain an understanding of what project-based learning and multimedia is, as well as why engaging students with multimedia is important.


 * What equipment will you need to conduct your workshop (projector, laptops for each pair of participants, Internet connections, other)?
 * To conduct this workshop, each participant will need their laptops that has been designated to them by the school. Each laptop will need to have an Internet connection, and the workshop presenter will need appropriate wires to connect their laptop to an active board with a compatible projector. Tables will be needed for small groups to be able to effectively communicate and collaborate together.


 * What online applications might you use?
 * This workshop presentation will require the use of Bubbl.us to access the graphic organizer online, Google Docs to access the handouts, Glogster EDU to create a glog for the Authentic Assessment Activity, a Sound Recorder for creating audio clips, and YouTube and other websites for locating videos to put into glogs.


 * How will your participants collaborate on their projects? How will you group them to create authentic assessment in your workshop?
 * Workshop participants will be grouped based on their grade level teams. Each grade level team will work collaboratively to select a standard to focus their glog assessment activity on, and share resources, information that they locate, and creativity to contribute to the group's glog presentation.

 * __Timeline for creating Multimedia Workshop:__**
 * Module 3:** Create a PowerPoint tutorial for Pre-Training and a Concept Map for a graphic organizer in Bubbl.us.
 * Module 4:** Create PowerPoint presentation and presenter's demonstration glog in Glogster EDU to share key concepts and skills needed for assessment activity. Create handouts needed for presentation.
 * Module 5:** Create the Authentic Assessment Activity for workshop participants to create a glog using Glogster EDU, including rubrics for the activity and workshop.
