  Student project, The Great Depression: Poetry for Two Voices - http://voicethread.com/#q+poetry.b425796.i2574380
  
  This multimedia student project resulted from teacher collaboration with the intent to create student background knowledge of The Great Depression in preparation for the class reading of "Bud, Not Buddy". The project and presentation are both learner-focused, and the active engagement focuses cognitive engagement. The students present a Great Depression era photo that is representative of the poem they read. Only one photo is presented for each poem so the viewer has the opportunity to examine the image while being presented with first hand accounts of the time. I believe this is an excellent example of what Mayer's defines as multimedia learning, "learn(ing) from both words and pictures" (Mayer, 2009, Preface, para. 2).

  The area of focus for my multimedia presentation will deal with ways that teachers can increase student engagement amongst online K-12 students. This presentation is a technology focused, multimedia presentation in which the active engagement focuses on cognitive engagement. The presentation itself focuses on technological tools that are used to increase student engagement and writing performance outcomes. The reason I believe this to be a technology-focused presentation is because it uses technologically based, multimedia tools to discuss the use of technology to engage students. Within the presentation, the pictures/graphics used to support the spoken content are not as specific as they should be and the intention is to provide information to the audience rather than a demonstration of learning. This artifact provides additional tools that can be used within my own presentation and my own instruction.

  Social Media and Student Engagement Presentation
  
  This presentation discusses the importance of student engagement and the use of social media. This example of multimedia for presentation demonstrates the importance of relevant graphics to support the underlying spoken presentation. The graphics are nice but they aren't exactly relevant to the content being presented and they do not help with the learning process. However, the underlying content is what I find to be valuable with regards to student engagement and contains information that can be used in my presentation. The presentation itself is technology focused and cognitively engaging.
