    This site outlines every aspect of planning pre-workshop activities from the venue to the expenditures. Essential processing is fostered by a suggestion of tools that can be used to introduce key concepts prior to training. In terms of generative processing, the site has suggestions for incorporating multimedia activities. This site would mainly be used by a person who is planning to present at a workshop. It would not be used for presentation purposes.

    What it is: Edmodo is a free learning management system embedded with social networking. Educators can create groups for students and assign assessments for students to submit within the site. It also allows users to create personal learning networks. Why it's better: Edmodo's design and layout has the feel of Facebook which makes it accessible to a larger audience. Very little pre-training is required for new-users as many of the components are familiar.

    The following link is a social networking site, Edmodo, for teachers and students that can be used to support collaborative learning in the classroom. This web-based artifact is student-centered and supports cognitive activity.

    Xtranormal is a website that allows individuals to make a movie just by texting. Xtranormal will be a used to present the objectives of the presentation. The animation will allow the learners to view a visual with audio/text (present two types of learning).
  • Anne Shaw on 14 Jul 10
     
    Assignment, Module 3 - Xtranormal.com is a web-based presentation tool that allows the user to create a movie from text.  The site claims that, "if you can type, you can make movies."  Users are provided with 3D characters that are brought to life through adding content to their voices.  It uses a drag-and-drop animation system of editing.  Another advantage is you can follow this site from FaceBook or on Twitter.  One disadvantage is the recommended configuration is limited to Windows XP Service Pack 2 or Windows Vista.
  • Sarah Irish on 14 Jul 10
     
    Xtranormal was one of the featured websites in the programs for Module 3. It is a very easy to use website to create videos. I used it to create the directions for the pre-training activity. In order to create a video you simply type in your script, select your character, background, camera angles, and character movements. This text to speech website is an example of generative learning because it simplifies the expectations for the participants.
  • Regina Wright on 19 Jul 10
     
    For the presentation section of the workshop, the instructor could use text and create an animation using avitars to make the lesson interesting to the learners.
  • Erin Mitchell on 09 Jan 11
     
    Brief description of what it allows you to do and how it can be used for essential or generative learning: Allows you to create an animation presentation by inputting a script with directional movements. This can be used as an introduction tool of a segment presentation. It provides a visual animation with sound and text possibilities. Brief explanation of why you found this site to be better than others you found (e.g., more effective, creates better products, easier to use, and so on): It can be limiting using the free version, but awesome for foreign languages. My students loved it and could make their presentations unique and creative.
  • Wanda Ardoin-Bailey on 12 Jul 11
     
    Xtranormal is a movie-making tool that allows the user to create movies with little experience. It permits prerecorded features as well as user inventive frames. Using this tool in my presentations will move my students to a deeper understanding beyond PowerPoint presentations.
  • Joshua Sherman on 11 Jul 12
     
    Just as with Go Animate, Xtranormal is applicable to the essential and generative learning processes. Xtranormal allows a user to organize and integrate what he/she has learned into a short animated cartoon. Xtranormal allows users to create fully animated video cartoons to represent learned materials. Videos on Xtranormal are easily created, stored, and shared.
  • Heather Rogers on 12 Jul 12
     
    This site allows you to create short animated videos about any content. These videos allow information to be relayed in a different way. This multimedia tool is user friendly and can be used with any topic. 
  • Tiffany Harrell on 15 Jul 12
     
    This website allows you to choose an avatar and design a 3D animated presentation of the text provided. This will be a great added feature to add visuals to what I have to share for my presentation. In my classroom, this multimedia tool would inspire student creativity, meet student learning needs who may be uncomfortable speaking in front of others.

    This website allows you to create custom graphic organizers online, and was created by the same company that makes the popular Inspiration graphic organizer software. It is user friendly, and is better than many programs because it allows you to share your work via links, or invite members to edit your work.
  • Jesus Berrios on 11 Jul 10
     
    The more I use this website, the more I am impressed with what I can do. It's ability to insert hyperlinks to the bubbles in the organizers encouraged me to use it in the pre-training module of my workshop. In the general case, it can be used in all the modules. The ability to script an outline and have the software generate the organizer is convenient and time-saving.

    This web version of a mind map tool can be created electronically and embedded into other presentations. User-friendly for the middle school student.
  • Monica Stallings on 13 Dec 10
     
    This site will allow students organize information by building a mind map of specific content. With the mind map, students create a quick view chart or graph which, along with a transcript which will place the information in a outline for ease of studying. The lesson plan will help the student use content information to extract specific concepts to create a snapshot of how information is connected to a specific idea. This activity can be done independently and shared with classmates for input. In addition, the students will rely on their cognitive ability to develop the mind map.
  • Brenda Young on 14 Jan 11
     
    Webspiration is a Web 2.0 tool that helps you create an online web (similar to the old Inspiration). You can organize your ideas and be creative at the same time. Your Webspiration product can even be embedded in a webpage or blog. Easy to use. Familiar to those who've used Inspiration or Kidspiration in the past.

    I use Webspiration to map out ideas, organize with outlines and collaborate online with teams or colleagues. This site can be use for generative learning the organizer will give participants an overview of the main concepts and allow them to construct new knowledge. I selected this sit because it is user friendly. It also has sample organizers that you can use.

    Webspiration http://www.mywebspiration.com/ This site allows users to create a mind map using various different fonts and templates. Webspiration allows for generative learning becasue the participants would be actively involved with the creation. I like this site becasue it is free. The webs can be embedded into blogs and the webs can be worked on collaboratively in a group. I plan to use some collaborative grouping during my presentation. Participants can also view the visual in an outline form for easier construction of the web.
  • Krista Crawford on 17 Jan 11
     
    Webspiration is an interactive web-based graphic organizer generator. It is a wonderful way to create graphic organizers that can also be used during presentations. It is easy to use and allows teachers to hyperlink out to other sites to help students understand concepts better. The best part about Webspiration is that it allows groups/individuals to work collaboratively and share their ideas.

    Webspiration is the online counterpart to Inspiration/Kidspiration software. The online interface allows users to design a wide variety of mind maps and graphic organizers. The software makes it possible for users to easily build diagrams that reflect the key components to essential and generative processing. This online resource has many advantages: free access, the ability to collaborate with other Webspiration users on the same project, online chat features to promote synchronous collaboration, an unlimited amount of storage space, and robust tools for design, editing, and sharing.

    *Mindmapping tools assist learners with connecting and organizing their learning and give instructors a view of where students may have misrpresentations. Concept maps as assessments: http://pandora.cii.wwu.edu/cii/resources/modules/concept/default.asp *Webspiration allows students to use various icons for representing their material while it seamlessly creates outlines in the background.

    It allows the students to build a framework towards independent thinking and improve their study skills. This is easier to use because it has apps to guide the student. In higher education, the students are able collaborate about their visual art.
  • Heather Rogers on 12 Jul 12
     
    Webspiration is a teacher friendly site that contains a vast array of graphic organizers, diagrams, writing organizers and many others. This site is typically used in grades 5-12. With many options, students and/or teacher are able to find an organizer that suits their project or essay. This site is easy to use and is effective in assisting students in independently developing their graphic organizer. 
  • Janel Purdy on 15 Jul 13
     
    Webspiration offers collaboration and graphic organizer software for classroom or professional use. Webspiration has free subscriptions available as well as subscriptions for purchase. I found it to be easy to use and share.

    I know we only needed two pre-training websites, but I just wanted to include this one so that I did not forget about it, as I find it to be a great resource. What it does: Generates a list of synonyms for a chosen word. Provides a "mind map" type of chart for the synonyms. Why this one: It is extremely simple and quick to use. Teaches are always short on time. This is a resource that requires no learning time. Results are immediate. Learning benefits: The mind map results chart is great for generative learning. It launches possibilities from which a learner can begin brainstorming.

    The Visual Thesaurus is an interactive dictionary and thesaurus that encourages exploration and learning. This program is easy to use and creates word maps that blossom with meanings and branch to related words, helping to understand the concepts to engage in the learning process.
  • Jeannine Miller on 16 Apr 11
     
    Although this website requires a subscription, I found it to be so easy to use that its well worth it. My participants can take any key word they want and instantly create a thinkmap with a few clicks!

    This website provides the user with links to create various types of graphic organizers. There are links for each type of graphic organizer; the user can then customize the graphic organizer to fit the content. The website also provides the viewer with information on the benefits of using graphic organizers. Also, the website provides links to software that can be use in creating different types of organizers. This website could also be used on as pre-training for creating graphic organizers and other technology aspects of a multimedia workshop. A graphic organizer can be used in conjunction with a lesson to help the student and/or participant organizer the material. Mayer (2010) discusses generative learning as a way to help make sense of the material. The Graphic organizer can help sort the wealth of information provided throughout the work shop.

    Bubbl.us is a very simple brainstorming/mindmapping tool. In my workshop (Using Wikis in Education) I will use the graphic organizer as a pre-training tool to introduce the purposes for using a wiki in education. This will be a good tool for essential processing because the learners will be exposed to key concepts before the main learning event takes place. The learners will be given the key concepts in the primary nodes in the mindmap as the categories under which they will classify their new learning. Bubbl.us allows the learner to map out ideas and make connections. I liked this site because the mindmap was simple to create and it could be easily exported as a JPEG file. The only drawback is that I wish that it had the ability to import pictures/graphics and notes.

    This is an online site to design surveys. I can use this to gauge what participants are learning and what questions they may have after each module. I would also use it as a tool to critique the whole workshop. This site would give me a chance to evaluate the material as well as the participant's knowledge acquisition.

    Survey monkey is an online survey site that will allow for trainers and participants to determine where the current state of knowledge is on a given topic. Participants could be given the survey the week before the training which would allow the presenter to modify instruction and content if needed.
