Glogster EDU www.glogster.com The first authentic assessment activity website that I chose is called Glogster EDU. Glogster EDU is a website like no other resource I have ever seen. Glogster EDU is a creative, dynamic and innovative digital outlet for online creations that keeps learners in engaged in course content, and makes teaching and learning more fun (Glogster EDU, 2009). Glogster EDU is a vibrant, multi-sensory learning experience which integrates learner's knowledge and skills into traditionally text-oriented subjects and motivates learner's desire to explore topics in which they may previously have been less interested (Glogster EDU, 2009). The reason I chose Glogster EDU as one of my authentic assessment activities is because I have used it in my classroom and it works great. Glogster EDU is a powerful resource to use with students of the middle and high school levels because its possibilities are controlled by the students knowledge and creativity. Educators can set up assessments easily and quickly using the resources provided by the site host. Glogster EDU can be used for any type of assessment where students need to illustrate their understanding of course content. Glogster EDU also provides its own video site called Schooltube where students can research, watch, and add video to their personal glog adding the much needed audiovisual aspect to projects that normally would have been text based. I also really like the fact that Glogster EDU is a private site monitored by teachers; it gives me a sense of assurance that my students won't be accessing information that could get them or me in trouble.

Glogster (www.glogster.com) allows teachers and students to create interactive projects. Teachers can design interactive glogs for their students to complete or assign the students to create their own glog for a class project. Either way this allows for the teacher to really control the learning. Mayer (2009) would consider Glogster knowledge construction because students will have to view the videos, read the articles, and examine the pictures that the teacher embeds in their glog to form an opinion or to create their own glog. When a student creates their own glog no two will be exactly the same.

This is an evolving site with high quality tools for both the technologically savvy and the digital immigrant. This is not an exhaustive site, nor one where you will find everything you need - but the graphic organizer section is well done and contains the majority of a classroom teacher's needs. This is definitely a site to keep an eye on.

This site, like most reading series, provides support for both teachers and students. However, the most intriguing part of this site is that it develops students' cognitive abilities by building prior knowledge about each author, each story's subject matter, and vocabulary skills. In addition, it supports learning outside of traditional classroom walls by providing access to web-based field trips that correlate with individual story's concepts.

YouTube can be used to show me teaching the students how to make their own Photostory. Sometimes educators want to see how new technology can be taught to students. Seeing, for some, is believing. Youtube used in this way is student centered because the technology is used to dual code information that is being taught. (Mayer, 2008)
-
During the beginning of the workshop, participants will be watching two short videos posted on YouTube to introduce the rationale behind using Edmodo and show them key features. The videos will be engaging the learner on a cognitive level as they begin to reflect on how this applies to them and formulate ways they can utilize Edmodo in their classroom. At this point in the workshop, the participants will be behaviorally inactive.

This site provides the devices that I have access to that I would use to make a multimedia presentation to instruct how to use Photostory 3. The Interwrite hardware and software allows instructors to create lessons similar to Power Point but with the added ability to use the Interwrite School Pad to advance the presentation from anywhere in the room. The School Pad also allows for the instructor to annotate over the sides to highlight prominent features of Photostory. Interwrite is technology centered because the technology is driving the flow of instruction.
