Pre-training: I selected the following sites to use for pre-training because you want to get the audience's attention. You tube is a great way to do that. You can use it to highlight the key components of the workshop or to build purpose for the workshop. I also choose audacity because it's always great to use if you want to add audio to explain any graphics that are pertinent to the workshop. www.youtube.com and www.audacity.com Presentation: Digital storytelling is a different and interesting way to present information. It allows for the use of text, graphics, and audio. Based on your computer's operating system, there are different programs that can be used. Click this link to find out which is best for you. http://digitalstorytelling.coe.uh.edu/video.html Microsoft PowerPoint is always a safe choice for those who are not as savvy with technology. PowerPoint is compatible with different operating systems and is user friendly. You can also add graphics and audio in conjunction with text. Graphic Organizers: I found 2 websites that promise ease of use, free accounts, and collaboration. Since the workshop requires team work, these sites may be useful. www.cacoo.com and www.gliffy.com Authentic Assessment: Prezi has some similarities to PowerPoint, but you can do so much more. You are able to present on-line or offline and it allows for real-time collaboration. www.prezi.com Novamind is a mind mapping tool that helps organize ideas and thoughts. It is a great way to summarize your learning experience. They offer a free 30 day trial. If you like the program, you can download the software for free. http://www.novamind.com/
