Wordle is a pre-training online tool that generates "word clouds" from words you choose. The clouds give more prominence to words that emerge more often in the text. You can modify clouds with different fonts, layouts, and color schemes. You can use wordle as a pre-reading strategy, concept maps, or visual for brainstorming concepts with students. It is easy to utilize and fun to work with. This was the basic site, but it lead to YouTube videos which gave tutorials on how to use wordle. You can also embed the word cloud into your blog.

The first URL link is a YouTube video on how to set up the Mimio Teach Interactive system. It is a quick, step by step video that is a preview of a more detailed video that will be in the presentation. The video is already created for me, making it a simple pre-training tool. There are many YouTube tutorials that can be used in all areas of creating multimedia presentation. This one is short holds the audience's attention, and is just a preview. The next YouTube URL link is a short video on the Elmo document camera. Again it is short with visual and audio elements for teaching. It is only a preview of what is to come. Like the first link it is an already created video tutorial, which is a great web tool for multimedia presentations.

An Interactive graphic organizer from this site helps to organize the different ways to incorporate technology into reading. The first site is the original site. The second URL link is the cluster graphic organizer I would use for my presentation. On the site it states to download the PDF file, type in your words and print it. I will print out an empty organizer, and then put it on the Elmo Document Camera to fill out. This would be an interactive tool because the participants could contribute ideas and fill it out with me. This site is very easy to use.

This YouTube video is a tutorial on how to make a video in Windows Movie Maker. I would like to use Movie Maker, but the actual tutorial was long and boring. Since I am a visual learner the tutorial showing exactly what to do works for me. I have done this before with help. I just think with the tutorial I can use Windows Movie Maker and YouTube to create an educational video for my presentation. It utilizes video and I can add text to it building temporal contiguity.

The first link is the main page to authentic assessments. The second link is an example of a multimedia checklist assessment. This is a checklist that is created by the evaluator. This can be given to the student prior to evaluation. There is a pull down menu that gives topic suggestions such as appearance, preparation, organization, and resources. The educator has the choice to use those or create their own topics. This is a teacher friendly site with a lot of options. Like the rubric this is a template to be used as is or edited.

I have decided to create a multimedia workshop on active engagement learning through technology. I would like teachers to explore how to engage learners through the use of technology. The three web sites are below:
http://www.mimio.dymo.com/en-NA/Training/Self-Guided-Video-Tutorials.aspx
This web site is a video tutorial on how to utilize the mimio interactive teaching technologies. It uses real time and quick time to access to videos. It give tutorials on set up, studio basics, tool bar basics, formatting and others. The tutorials are geared to an individual's mastery of skills for the mimio. Whether you are a beginner, master, or certified trainer, there is a tutorial geared toward your ability. This is definitely multimedia instruction. Teachers will learn from words, audio, and pictures. This view is learner-centered because it takes the learner's information-processing activity into account (Mayer, 2009).
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UgPO-agnnMk
This web site is a YouTube video that step by step shows you how to build an interactive Jeopardy game in Power point. It is an easy step by step process that is very easy to follow. Although she uses it to design a game for anatomy, you can easily adapt it for any subject. This could also be used interactively if you have two computers. One computer could be used for the tutorial and you could follow along on another computer to design your own Jeopardy game. She gives short cuts for copy and paste and explains what she is doing. She verbally explains what she is doing as the pictorial of the Power point presentation is visually displaying all her actions. This is also a learner-centered approach. Jeopardy has been around for years and whoever decided to design the game in an interactive Power point definitely asked the question; "How can we adapt multimedia to enhance human learning (Mayer, 2009). The game supports human cognition.

Interactive literacy resources:
http://teacher.scholastic.com/products/bookflixfreetrial/index.htm
BookFlix is an interactive literacy resource that builds a love of reading and learning online. BookFlix pairs classic fictional video storybooks from Weston Woods with nonfiction eBooks from Scholastic to reinforce reading skills and develop essential real-world knowledge and understanding. It provides support with a read along feature. It highlights important words that when you click on it the definition is told. The books can also be read in Spanish. There is a program overview for teachers with video and audio settings. I use this with my students, and there is an offer for a free trial. The tutorial is learner-centered.
http://www.starfall.com/
Starfall.com is a free public service to teach children to read with phonics. The systematic phonics approach, in conjunction with phonemic awareness practice, is geared toward early childhood, special education, and English language learners. There are reading strategies for beginning readers, struggling readers, and remedial readers. There are games that they can play and movies to watch. They can advance to the next level at their own pace. There is also a site for math. There is not a good tutorial for the site, but it is pretty self explanatory. The tutorial is technology-centered. There is only text to read without visual stimulation.

http://www.tumblebooks.com/
Tumble books are another interactive literacy resource that children enjoy. They start out as picture books and add animation, sound, music and narration for a book you can read or have read to you. I also utilize this with my students. Some books have an online quiz to go along with it for comprehension. There is also the option to choose a language. There is a Tumble book library tour that you can take to learn about the program. An animated page talks educators through the program with thirty two pages of graphics and examples of books. It has audio and visual learning. Although the tutorial is lengthy, it is very thorough and helpful. It goes through each section and gives details how each section works. There is a free trial for this site. My school is a member of this site. The tutorial is learner-centered because it aids in human cognition (Mayer, 2009).
There are many more interactive literacy resources. Some are free and some need membership. Most offer a free trial period with tutorials to entice you.
