  I have decided to create a multimedia workshop on active engagement learning through technology. I would like teachers to explore how to engage learners through the use of technology. The three web sites are below:
  http://www.mimio.dymo.com/en-NA/Training/Self-Guided-Video-Tutorials.aspx
  This web site is a video tutorial on how to utilize the mimio interactive teaching technologies. It uses real time and quick time to access to videos. It give tutorials on set up, studio basics, tool bar basics, formatting and others. The tutorials are geared to an individual's mastery of skills for the mimio. Whether you are a beginner, master, or certified trainer, there is a tutorial geared toward your ability. This is definitely multimedia instruction. Teachers will learn from words, audio, and pictures. This view is learner-centered because it takes the learner's information-processing activity into account (Mayer, 2009).

  This web site is a YouTube video that step by step shows you how to build an interactive Jeopardy game in Power point. It is an easy step by step process that is very easy to follow. Although she uses it to design a game for anatomy, you can easily adapt it for any subject. This could also be used interactively if you have two computers. One computer could be used for the tutorial and you could follow along on another computer to design your own Jeopardy game. She gives short cuts for copy and paste and explains what she is doing. She verbally explains what she is doing as the pictorial of the Power point presentation is visually displaying all her actions. This is also a learner-centered approach. Jeopardy has been around for years and whoever decided to design the game in an interactive Power point definitely asked the question; "How can we adapt multimedia to enhance human learning (Mayer, 2009). The game supports human cognition.
  
  Interactive literacy resources:
  http://teacher.scholastic.com/products/bookflixfreetrial/index.htm
  BookFlix is an interactive literacy resource that builds a love of reading and learning online. BookFlix pairs classic fictional video storybooks from Weston Woods with nonfiction eBooks from Scholastic to reinforce reading skills and develop essential real-world knowledge and understanding. It provides support with a read along feature. It highlights important words that when you click on it the definition is told. The books can also be read in Spanish. There is a program overview for teachers with video and audio settings. I use this with my students, and there is an offer for a free trial. The tutorial is learner-centered.
  http://www.starfall.com/
  Starfall.com is a free public service to teach children to read with phonics. The systematic phonics approach, in conjunction with phonemic awareness practice, is geared toward early childhood, special education, and English language learners. There are reading strategies for beginning readers, struggling readers, and remedial readers. There are games that they can play and movies to watch. They can advance to the next level at their own pace. There is also a site for math. There is not a good tutorial for the site, but it is pretty self explanatory. The tutorial is technology-centered. There is only text to read without visual stimulation.
  
  http://www.tumblebooks.com/
  Tumble books are another interactive literacy resource that children enjoy. They start out as picture books and add animation, sound, music and narration for a book you can read or have read to you. I also utilize this with my students. Some books have an online quiz to go along with it for comprehension. There is also the option to choose a language. There is a Tumble book library tour that you can take to learn about the program. An animated page talks educators through the program with thirty two pages of graphics and examples of books. It has audio and visual learning. Although the tutorial is lengthy, it is very thorough and helpful. It goes through each section and gives details how each section works. There is a free trial for this site. My school is a member of this site. The tutorial is learner-centered because it aids in human cognition (Mayer, 2009).
  There are many more interactive literacy resources. Some are free and some need membership. Most offer a free trial period with tutorials to entice you.
