  My presentation will focus on demonstrating and teaching teachers how to use Promethean flip charts effectively in their lessons. Websites that can demonstrate these skills to teachers are the following:

  The DeKalb County School System's website is provided to teachers. This web site has both text and videos which accommodates dual coding. This web site also limits each lesson; and that takes into mind learners' limited capacity. This website however is based in behavioral theory because the learning does not show cognitive activity during the learning rather than on the leaner's behavioral activity after each lesson (Mayer, 2009). This site also does not consider the learner outside of limited capacity; thus, making this a technology-centered site.

  The Denver Public School's web site expects participants to take notes during the lessons and for participants to work along with the presenter. The web site utilizes both visual and verbal methods, thus accommodating dual coding. It also utilizes limited capacity by providing the appropriate amount of information per lesson. This website is learner centered by asking participants to take notes, thus taking into account how people learn. This site however, is also technology-centered and behavioral in the teaching approach.

  This website utilizes both visual and verbal methods to deliver the lessons provided. These lessons take into account limited capacity by not providing too much information within each lesson. This website only provides information and does not require the learner to participate in the creation of any artifacts; however, it does ask questions of the participant that requires thinking. For this reason this website utilizes the technology centered approach. The technology-centered approach is the most common approach because the focus is on the cutting-edge advances rather than on the learner (Mayer, 2009). As a result of these findings, this website focuses on the behavioral theory of teaching. Students take in the information and demonstrate their understanding by completing a task. In this case, students will use the information provided to develop their understanding of using the promethean board and its many tools.
  Although all of these websites are useful they demonstrate Mayer's multimedia learning as information acquisition rather than multimedia as knowledge construction approaches in their delivery of information. Each of these web sites:
  (1) Assume learning is based on information
  (2) The learners job is to receive information
  (3) The presenter presents information
  (4) Presentation delivers information effectively.
  (Mayer, 2009)
  My task is to create a presentation that will focus on the cognitive approach of learning; while still providing learners with the needed information to create useful flipcharts.
