* Pre-training
www.youtube.com
I use YouTube often to provide a short video to set a foundation on a given topic or concept. It is probable to have some video on any thinkable possible topic. I like it because of its vast materials available.
www.bubbl.us
Although this program is a graphic organizer, it could be well used as a pre-training tool. It allows to create mind maps on concepts to brainstorm the audience's background knowledge on a given topic.

* Graphic organizer
www.prezi.com
Prezi is a presentation tool that helps you organize and share your ideas. I use it often due to its user-friendly capabilities. Also, you can easily share your ideas through a link or embed your presentation to your preferred share site. Moreover, you can upload your graphics to your iCloud for easy access.

www.bubbl.us

Bubbl is a graphic organizer creator. It is very simple and easy to use. I use it when I do not have much time to get fancy or if what I am creating does not need much transition.

* Presentation
www.visualbee.com
VisualBee uses your content and our unique free PowerPoint templates along with appropriate graphics to create an effective PowerPoint presentation. I use this website because it is user-friendly. I create my PowerPoint presentations, click on the Visualbee plug-in, select my design and the programs takes care of the rest. By using this program, I avoid not selecting the appropriate font size, color, etc. The program will follow the presentations etiquette.

www.elluminate.com
This website allows you to present workshops synchronously. Additionally, it allows you to archive the workshop for attendees and absent personnel to go over the material as needed.
* Authentic assessment activity
http://rubistar.4teachers.org/
I believe in evaluating my students fairly; therefore I create a rubric for student's special assignments. This website allows you to create your own rubrics, or select some already on the system. I go to this website often to generate rubrics because it is user-friendly and provides with many rubric examples.
http://www.internet4classrooms.com/teachertools.htm
This website provides a vast variety of resources for teachers. It allows teachers to easily generate quizzes, tests, activities, etc. I use it often to create different activities to assess my students' learning progress.

I chose the following 3 websites for this assignment. They all are multimedia that, properly used, can become great educational tools to develop cognitive learning.

www.prezi.com

This website is a great tool to create motion organizational charts for several purposes. Used effectively as a learner-centered approach can facilitate students' skill or concept comprehension through the organization of data and information. Teachers can take advantage of this tool in class and create mind webs, Venn diagrams, T-Charts, etc., to assist students on using the important information needed on a given lesson, no matter the subject that is being taught. I have used this resource for many of my presentations, it is user friendly. It did not take me long to learn to use it.

http://exchange.smarttech.com/#tab=0

This website provides educators with a vast amount of SmartBoard resources for every subject and grade level. Teachers can opt to modify the lesson to their leisure. Using SmartBoard resources is a student-centered approach as it provides interactive ways to present the lessons, allowing students to be more interested. Additionally, the audio-visuals are classified by grade level, and subjects; allowing teachers to select appropriate materials for the population they are teaching. At the same time students can interact with the technology at hand; therefore, experiencing hands-on activities which allow for a better grasp of the given skill.

http://www.livescribe.com/en-us/pencasts/

This website provides training on how to use SmartPens as an educational tool, record lessons and notes, create, and publish pencasts on blogs, wikis, websites, etc. Using SmartPens and pencasts approaches both, technology and learners. Learners are required to access technology to view the pencasts. On this sense, it will only help students learn as far as they have access to the technology (i.e., computer with internet access) and know how to access the pencasts. On the other hand, it is learner-centered as it provides an audio-visual of given skill's steps for learner reference outside the classroom, which they can access as many times as they want.
