=== 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? ===


 * Learners will begin by previewing content in their native language along with graphic representations of computer parts. This will help them understand the material better and be able to build mental representations.


 * Learners will be actively engaged with the material through the use of clickers and interactive games.


 * Learners will practice new Microsoft Word skills with their own names, a personally relevant, motivating, and simple focus with which to practice new skills.


 * Learners will create a Microsoft Word document with their names cut, pasted, and formatted in different fonts, colors, and styles. They will print these out and take them home (motivation).

=== 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? ===


 * I will create a PowerPoint presentation to present new computer terms and functions in English that incorporate text with narration and images. Although Mayer advises again using written text in addition to narration and images under typical circumstances because it may overload the visual channel with both text and images, he allows that this type of presentation may be beneficial for second language learners (Mayer, 2009, p. 130-134).

3. What kind of graphic organizer would be best to give your participants to help facilitate learning in your workshop?

 * I will give students a graphic organizer created with Inspiration. If Inspiration software is loaded onto student machines, they may build their own concept maps of their learning. If not, I will create a skeletal graphic organizers that they can fill in with learned information to accompany images.

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?

 * All concepts presented in this course will be previewed in students' native Spanish language.


 * Students will explore interactive websites that include video clips and demonstrations of basic computer use and MIcrosoft Word actions in Spanish.


 * Before progressing onto full lessons in English and engaging in guided instruction of computer use and Microsoft Word presented in English, pre-training in English will utilize PowerPoint to present new terms and definitions alongside images.

5. What equipment will you need to conduct your workshop (projector, laptops for each pair of participants, Internet connections, other)?

 * Teaching computer with CPS student response system software installed
 * Student computers and teaching computer with Microsoft Word installed
 * Multimedia projector
 * Student response systems (clickers)
 * Internet connection (Woodburn School District LAN)
 * laser pointer

6. What online applications might you use?
Interactive websites that present basic computer terms and Microsoft Word skills in Spanish and in English

7. How will your participants collaborate on their projects? How will you group them to create authentic assessment in your workshop?


 * Clicker surveys on computer experiences will serve as discussion starters.
 * As this course progresses, students will learn to utilize email, discussion boards, and other interactive social networking to collaborate and share ideas.
 * Google Docs will eventually be used so that students can collaborate on projects.
