Welcome to my Multimedia Workshop Working Wiki!
 * __Topic__: Engaging Students in Project-Based Learning using Multimedia **


 * __Population__: This workshop will be designed for the school-wide staff of a K-5 elementary school. **


 * __Outcomes__: The objectives of this workshop are: **
 * 1) **Educators understand how they can use multimedia for instruction. **
 * 2) **Educators understand how to guide students through project-based learning. **
 * 3) **Educators understand how to create an effective multimedia presentation based on Mayer's principles. **
 * 4) **Participants in the workshop will develop their own multimedia presentation to create a project-based learning (PBL) activity for students. **

- Project-Based Learning (PBL) - Mayer’s Triarchic Model of Cognitive Load handout - Mayer's Cognitive Theory of Multimedia - Multimedia for PBL - Examples of glogs using Glogster EDU ||
 * __Gap__: The participants of this workshop are already aware that technology provides advantages in the way that students can gather information visually and verbally. From this workshop, I want the participants to learn about tools that can be used in creating multimedia presentations and how to teach students how they are used effectively and successfully. There is a gap in what technology teachers understand how to use and what they actually feel confident applying through their instruction. Teachers must also understand that learners have a limited capacity as to how much information they can grasp at one time. Therefore, presentations must stay focused on the content and not be overwhelming for students. **
