    I chose the following 3 websites for this assignment. They all are multimedia that, properly used, can become great educational tools to develop cognitive learning.

    www.prezi.com

    This website is a great tool to create motion organizational charts for several purposes. Used effectively as a learner-centered approach can facilitate students' skill or concept comprehension through the organization of data and information. Teachers can take advantage of this tool in class and create mind webs, Venn diagrams, T-Charts, etc., to assist students on using the important information needed on a given lesson, no matter the subject that is being taught. I have used this resource for many of my presentations, it is user friendly. It did not take me long to learn to use it.

    http://exchange.smarttech.com/#tab=0

    This website provides educators with a vast amount of SmartBoard resources for every subject and grade level. Teachers can opt to modify the lesson to their leisure. Using SmartBoard resources is a student-centered approach as it provides interactive ways to present the lessons, allowing students to be more interested. Additionally, the audio-visuals are classified by grade level, and subjects; allowing teachers to select appropriate materials for the population they are teaching. At the same time students can interact with the technology at hand; therefore, experiencing hands-on activities which allow for a better grasp of the given skill.

    http://www.livescribe.com/en-us/pencasts/

    This website provides training on how to use SmartPens as an educational tool, record lessons and notes, create, and publish pencasts on blogs, wikis, websites, etc. Using SmartPens and pencasts approaches both, technology and learners. Learners are required to access technology to view the pencasts. On this sense, it will only help students learn as far as they have access to the technology (i.e., computer with internet access) and know how to access the pencasts. On the other hand, it is learner-centered as it provides an audio-visual of given skill's steps for learner reference outside the classroom, which they can access as many times as they want.
