The Moodle CMS will assume a central position in my workshop. One objective is to have participants learn CMS functionalities. The workshop project will require that participants set up a course on Moodle. The workshop will be delivered through my own Moodle setup. In addition to the many other features, Gradebook, for purposes of assessment, will also be highlighted. I will use my Moodle to collect participant work through the Dropbox feature, evaluate the work, and grade the projects through Gradebook.

Educational workshops typically ask participants to rate the experience. An easy way for this to be done digitally and anonymously is through the free Basic Plan feature in surveymonkey.com.

In my experience, all workshops/PD end with an assessment questionairre that asks participants to give feedback. SurveyMonkey.com digitizes the data collection and evaluation processes. In addition to its intended purpose, it represents as another educational technology application.

I am amazed at the capabilities of collaboration software. The use of Elluminate, in particular, has been demonstrated in LiveChat presentations by a number of my professors. With a network such as proposed in my Smartboard entry, and with all computers equipped with webcams, the breadth of educational technology can be put on display. This is perfect for the purposes of my workshop.

Big displays in workshops and other presentations is an essential feature. Whether it's an IWB or just a big projection screen, the ability to display enlarged content for all to see is invaluable. In this manner, IWBs enrich the experience with it's interactive capabilities and robust software (Notebook 10 for SmartBoards). A little known feature of Notebook 10 is an included LinQ application that allows for the networking of 5 additional laptops that can share their screens to the SmartBoard. Oh yes it doeoess. . .

A good alternative to MyWebspiration.com with many of the same features. In MyWebspiration I did not uncover how to save my work as an image, something that would facilitate photo editing. Bubble.us.com enables this function.

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.

The correct website is www.mywebspiration.com. This website has various applications. For purposes of my workshop pre-training, I would lead with a mindmap that would illustrate its organization and concepts, and then hyperlink these to the tutorials in commoncraft.com and other resources. Audio, sharing, and outlining features would also be leveraged.

Commoncraft.com not only tutors on how-to functioning of various multimedia tools, but uses creative whiteboarding-based video descriptions that illustrate Mayer's Coherence Principle.

A Course Management System for educators.

An online textbook and other multimedia instructional resources.

A robust open-sourced, resource-rich mathematics instructional aid.
