You Are Your Words - 1 views

  •  
    You are your words allows learners to create images made of words. The depiction starts with a self-selected portrait oriented image, then the addition of words that fill to create a shaded silhouette of the picture. The active engagement required focus on cognitive activity as the learner designed words to pictorially aid human cognition. This is accomplishing learner-centered learning by adapting multimedia technology to show how the human mind works (Mayer, 2009, p. 15). Mayer, R. E. (2009). Multimedia learning (2nd ed.).

    RubiStar is a website that I have been using as a classroom teacher for year to create well designed and well worded rubrics. It is a simple free website that allows you to choose from a long list of pre-created categories. Final products can be downloaded and further enhance in a word processing program. The rubric created will be an example of essential learning because through the rubric the leaner will have better understanding of what is required of their digital story.

This tool is very easy to use, where you have access to templates and publicly posted rubrics of others.

I have used this resource many times in both my classroom, with parents and for assignments and have enjoyed the available templates and examples.

    Rubistar is a free site that allows the user to either create their own rubric or view and adapt an existing rubric. The library of existing rubrics is lengthy and best searched by topic and date. I have utilized the site many times to create a rubric for PBL lessons and real life lessons taught within the curriculum. I prefer this site over others as it is easy to use and provides the option for a printed hard copy to be used during the project.

    One of the best sites I've found for an overview of digital storytelling. The site is at the essential cognitive level, giving visitors an overview of key terms, tools, and concepts. The site shares several powerful examples and offers some great reflection by its author on the assessment process, including students' self-assessments.

    Camtasia allows you to create interactive videos easily. The most alluring factor of this site is the fact that "… you can create interactive training and support videos that are on-demand for instant viewing. Screencasts are quick, easy, and inexpensive to produce.

    The screencast allows the person to prepare a lesson using both audio and visual channels. It allows the teacher to prepare the lesson for self-paced work by the students. It is an ideal tool for differentiated instruction where all the students can be working at their own pace and at the own level of proficiency. This site is very effective. One can create good tutorials with good sound, and it is easy to use by the teachers.

Motivating Yourself & Others - 0 views

  •  
    The presentation is designed to begin with a self-reflective quiz about the learner's beliefs about motivation. The presentation might be useful in conjunction with a discussion activity and perhaps a mind mapping project. The learner-centered approach utilizes technology to help organize and deliver information but the primary learning opportunity is cognitive based through discussion.
