Survey monkey can be used for more then just the occasional 'what do you think'. Use it for both pre and post testing in edtech.

Survey monkey is an online survey site that will allow for trainers and participants to determine where the current state of knowledge is on a given topic. Participants could be given the survey the week before the training which would allow the presenter to modify instruction and content if needed. I chose survey monkey over other online survey providers because of its always free basic package. Most other sites offered a limited free trial. http://www.surveymonkey.com/

Survey Monkey is a multimedia tool online that allows users to create custom surveys in minutes. Based on what you create, all the results of the survey participants will be delivered to you. Surveys can contain answer choices, open ended answers, or both. It is free to use and saves time on the creation of surveys. 

Mind42 is a browser based online mind mapping application. With Mind42 mindmapping tools are no longer needed, you can manage ideas alone, or work collaboratively

The mind42 site offers a free online tool for creating graphic organizers / mind maps similar to those created by webspiration. However, mind42 provides excellent file export functionality saving as .jpg, .png, .pdf, and other file formats. Also of interest are collapsible / expandable branches that could facilitate a gradual introduction of topics in a live lesson, as well as the ability to include notes, Web links, and a variety of icons in each node as needed. Of note, however, is the ability to include images directly into the graphic organizer by searching for relevant images online or by providing a direct link to an online image. Some basic formatting options, such as text color and size, are present. However, as all nodes other than the parent or central node are lines, no formatting of shapes is available. The tool does offer a simple approach to creating mind maps and graphic organizers, which may warrant additional investigation and use. In short, the saving functionality, branching without termination nodes (use a line instead), collapsibility, and image inclusion are features that may prove more useful than comparable tools. Considering essential cognitive processing, the tool may assist with selecting and organizing complex material in order to reach a generative processing state. This may be possible by presenting information in a keyed and organized approach, which is a central premise of most mind mapping software.

Mind42 is an online mind map that allows users to add images to their brainstorming and collaborate with others. Users have access to a gallery of mind maps and can post comments. This site can be used for essesntial learning based on its multimedia capabilities. Mind42 is a better website than other mind maps that I have reviewd because of the extra support provided through the gallery of mind maps.

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.

For my professional development multimedia workshop, my goal is to develop a training program about using Google Apps (Google Docs, in particular). The targeted audience is a group of K-12 classroom teachers. The workshop will help to familiarize teachers with how Google Docs is used as well as provide them with an opportunity to begin developing a Google Docs that they can use in the classroom. This website is supported by the University of Minnesota and provides a wide range of multimedia information, tutorials, and guides for using various Google applications.

This site is at the generative cognitive level, as it requires users to construct their own criteria for assessing a multimedia product. It is an effective tool for creating a simple checklist, or rubric, that provides an assessment tool and a criteria document for students. The site features tools for different subjects, and there are links to multimedia checklist tools at 3 different age ranges.

As a former user of TimeGlider, I have experienced its usefulness as a multimedia tool for active cognitive learning. With TimeGlider, the user is able to create an interactive timeline to be designed alone or collaboratively and shared with others. This free tool allows the user to not only control how important an event is based on its size on the timeline, but it also allows the user to link events on the timeline to online videos and to upload pictures to enhance the timeline. The student may begin with an idea of the time period they are creating a timeline for, but they make the choices about what material to include in terms of how many events to include and any extras like videos or pictures. 

Timeglider is web-based timeline software for sharing history and project planning. It can be an interactive guide to users for events like workshops and can be interactive between creator and users for essential and generative purposes. Timeglider is free for limited usage, but then asks for five dollars a month for formidable teacher/student uses. This site is a fine representation of cheap visual technology that gives good visual aid and cognitive understandings of the timeline organization.

The Center for Universal Design website of the College of Design of NC State University claims to be designed to promote accessible and universal design in housing, commercial and public facilities, outdoor environments, and products. Though, it's not about web design per se, covers nonetheless the essentials of what I want faculty to understand about Universal Design in creating their websites. The multimedia artifact on this page is picture and text but it is presented in a way that engages the learner. The headings are reasonably big and color coded. The images are relevant and positioned in a manner that facilitates learning without focusing the learner's attention too much on the graphics. I would say that this workshop is also learner-centered.
