  My Multimedia presentation will focus on helping teachers create and maintain an educational blog, while incorporating many technology programs and tools that are already successful at our school.
  
  http://edublogs.org/why-edublogs/
  This website will introduce the Edublogs website to my class of teachers, explain the benefits of blogging and show the help and support that is available. This website will also show teachers how they can integrate Facebook and Twitter, post videos and discussion topics, and engage students in their learning while enhancing instruction through collaboration. The website is an example to Mayer's Coherence Principle: When giving a multimedia explanation, use few rather than many extraneous words and pictures.
  
  Mayer stated that meaningful learning depends "on the cognitive activity of the learner during learning rather than on the learner's behavioral activity during learning" (p. 1). The active engagement with this website focuses on behavioral activity. This website it accomplishing learner-centered learning by "using the technology to help human cognition" (Mayer 2009).

  This video will show my colleagues how to easily set up their Edublog. It takes teachers through the step-by-step process in setting up their blog by carefully showing them what to do. Due to this fact, the website it learner-centered. Norman (1993, p. 5) refers to tools that aid the mind as cognitive artifacts: "anything invented by humans for the purpose of improving thought or action counts as an artifact." This video is an example of a cognitive tool. This video models what was stated in our Mayer text this week, "The design of multimedia technology to promote human cognition represents one exemplary component in the larger task of creating what Norman(1993, p. xi) calls "things that make us smart." This tutorial video will help promote human cognition with my co-workers (my leaners), and then they will be more cognitively able to promote cognition with their students.

  This website provides easy access to information for teachers, which is an example of technology-centered learning. These videos represent the capabilities of Edublog and supports teachers cognitively. The goals of these video will be promote human cognition by teaching the educators how to adapt the technology to fit the needs their learners.
