Rubrics are a great way to assess student learning and Teach-nology provides many different rubrics for all types of authentic assessments. I have used this site many times in my own classroom for performance tasks, group projects, and individual projects. It offers pre-made rubrics and guidance on creating your own.

This site is part of the eInstruction website. I chose the eI Community as a site to use in my workshop for authentic assessment activities, because it offers teachers the ability to create and upload resources for the Interwrite tablet and Students Response Systems. What better way to assess what a participant has learned than to have them create their own lesson, graphic, or resource and upload it for others to use?

YouTube is a wonderful tool to use in creating presentations. It is also very helpful in finding other presentations, demonstrations, and tutorials. I think teachers would benefit from the many demonstrations and examples of Student Response Systems being used during my workshop. YouTube is very easy to navigate and easy to upload ones own videos.

My media specialist introduced my students and me to Prezi a couple of months ago. This is a great way to present your ideas over the standard Power Point presentation. Prezi allows you to tell your story or share ideas by creating the presentation on a large canvas. You then link one idea to the next including: text, images, and videos. This allows your audience to see the big picture and the individual details.

I chose this site because of its ease of use and the ability to type information right into the PDF template. The different organizers could be used by the participants themselves throughout the workshop. Each graphic organizer also provides tips on how to use the organizers in class.

This site is an excellent site for developing think maps or graphic organizers through the use of Power Point. The templates have already been created so it is easy for educators to use. The site also gives examples on when to use the different organizers.

This website contains templates that could be used to create pre-training game activities for the Student Response Systems. By engaging participants in a game using the clickers, this will help inform the presenter the level of understanding and knowledge the participants have of the technology being used.

This website will be a good introduction or pre-training activity for teachers to see how the Interwrite tablet and Student Response Systems work in the classroom. This site will also provide teachers with a glimpse of how they can effectively use the the technology to present material and actively engage students in the lesson.

This multimedia artifact is a blogging site that provides a multitude of technology tools, tips, tricks, presentations, and "how-to's" of implementing technology in the classroom. The author of the blog demonstrates many different aspects of technology integration through the use of videos, presentations, words, and pictures. This site is definitely a more learner-centered approach to multimedia design as it contains many different visuals and auditory captions to cognitively challenge the learner. The site does focus on a certain technologies, but it is not about the technology, but how the technology is adapted to the learners. (Mayer, 2010)

This multimedia artifact is a video that demonstrates how to effectively use clickers in the classroom. The video takes educators through a series of steps on using the clickers to promote a higher level of engagement with students. The steps include: how to create a good question, how to foster peer discussions, wrapping up the lesson, and moving forward. I believe this video is a more learner-centered approach to multi-media design as the focus is helping educators reach a deeper level of understanding on how to create a lesson for students that just happens to use clickers as a tool for delivery. A learner-centered approach should expand our cognitive capabilities and the technology is the tool. Mayer (2009)

This website is the training search site for eInstruction Interwrite tablet and CPS tools and software. It includes tutorials on various elements involved in using the tools along with video demonstrations, state standards implementation, assessment, and collaboration links to help educators effectively implement the technology in the classroom. Mayer (2009) categorizes multimedia design into two approaches- a technology-centered approach and a learner-centered approach. I believe this artifact could fall under both approaches to some degree. The technology-centered approach of this artifact is the "cutting-edge advances in multimedia technology." (Mayer, 2009 p. 10) The Interwrite tablet (Mobi) and CPS are the cutting-edge technologies that can provide the latest technology for teachers to use in the classroom. However, I feel, the site provides a stronger learner-centered approach with its design as the goal of the site is to aid human cognition and enhance human performance. (Mayer, 2009 p. 13)
