Planning

1. How will you include Mayer’s principle of active processing in your authentic assessment activity? I will use graphic organizers to assist with active processing and will expect the participants to do the same for their authentic assessment activity. Participants will create a graphic organizer on four ways to pay for college. What kind of product will your participants create to demonstrate their learning using multimedia technology? Students will create a financial plan for college.

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)? I will create a video incorporating some screencasts to present key concepts to participants. How will you include Mayer’s principles of dual coding and limited capacity in your presentation? With Mayer’s concept of limited capacity in mind, I will keep the content simple, and with the dual coding principle in mind, I will limit background noise and text and will include an audio track for narration.

3. What kind of graphic organizer would be best to give your participants to help facilitate learning in your workshop? The participants will complete a simple bubble graphic organizer help facilitate learning in my workshop.

4. What concepts in your presentation will require pre-training before you begin the workshop? I will introduce the blogger concept in a pretraing video. How will you use multimedia to engage your learners during the pre-training phase? The training will be introduced in a video.

5. What equipment will you need to conduct your workshop (projector, laptops for each pair of participants, Internet connections, other)? I will need a laptop, multimedia projector, speakers, and internet connection; participants will need individual laptops and Internet connections.

6. What online applications might you us? Blogspot and GoogleDocs

7. How will your participants collaborate on their projects? How will you group them to create authentic assessment in your workshop? Participants will be grouped by level they will be entering college to create their financial planning activity and will present to their group for critiquing.
