The Online Teaching Conference 2014 will be held June. I would love to register for this and go and be among other like minded folks interested in the power of online learning K-12 and beyond.

This site is more for generative learning because it allows you to be able to give concrete examples of how iLife applications can be used in various content areas. I fould it better because there are lots of concrete examples given by a community of educators across grade levels and subject areas.

The video explains the importance in performance based assessment. Performance bases assessment is the most appropriate for the multimedia workshop on clickers. Participants in the workshop need to demonstrate that they know how to effectively use the clicker sin the classroom. The video reinforces the need to make students demonstrate their understanding of the content by actually "doing". The instructor must communicate with the participants the expectations of the assessment and the grading procedure. Performance based assessment also lets the participant see if the mastered using clickers. Essential material takes advantage of pre-teaching the content and helping each individual is at least on the basic level. The video explains the importance of authentic assessment in the classroom. Teachers may not be familiar with authentic assessment; therefore, they cannot successfully create an authentic assessment for a workshop or a classroom. The video meets essential learning because the viewer becomes efficient on understanding authentic assessment. The video serves as a pre-teaching and tutorial devise.

Webspiration http://www.mywebspiration.com/about Webspiration is one of the best tools for gathering and organizing information that I have ever used. Webspiration allows the user to group information into any type of format that works for them. There are mapping tools, charting tools and my favorite thing about Webspiration is that with a click of the button all the information that you have used to create your mind map or chart can become a wonderfully organized outline. Webspiration allows users to be visual learners which can help them retain information. The main reason that I chose Webspiration as one of my graphic organizer websites was because Webspiration has a collaboration feature which many other sites do not. The collaboration feature is wonderful because it is always available with an internet connection, it helps keep the lines of communication open between group members and Webspiration automatically saves the work you have completed. I love the fact that I do not have to worry about losing my documents. Webspiration also lets users share their creations by posting them to a web page where they can be accessed by anyone. Webspiration is probably the best thing I have learned so far through my classes at Walden.

Bubbl.us is a simple and free web application that lets you brainstorm online. Users can create colorful mind maps, share with others, export the mind map to a blog or website, email or print and save it as a jpg. It has a very simple interface and a good help tool in the bar on the right. If Spinscape seems daunting and you don't need all the additional collaborative functions, this is a better choice for the novice.

This is a great site for you to create your own brainstorm. You need to create an account if you want to save these. They can be as big as you want. They do not print well because they tend to get large.\nThis would be a great tool for you to use to keep track of all of the things that you would like to have in your community design!!

This is video created to provide an insight into the future of education, technology and communication worldwide. The comparisons between the education in the U.S., India, and China are very interesting. I have played this selection over the last few years at almost every workshop I've hosted. The presentation does not fit into Mayer's (2008) efficient multimedia formats, but the material does make an impact. This is especially good to shake up those folks who espouse that technology is just a fad.

Digital Storytelling is the practice of using computer-based tools to tell stories. As with traditional storytelling, most digital stories focus on a specific topic and contain a particular point of view. However, as the name implies, digital stories usually contain some mixture of computer-based images, text, recorded audio narration, video clips and/or music. Digital stories can vary in length, but most of the stories used in education typically last between two and ten minutes. And the topics that are used in Digital Storytelling range from personal tales to the recounting of historical events, from exploring life in one's own community to the search for life in other corners of the universe, and literally, everything in between. A great way to begin learning about Digital Storytelling is by watching the following video introduction to Digital Storytelling.

Site offers not only a good overview and examples of digital storytelling, but tips and resources, including software, assessment rubrics, and more.

A comprehensive guide to effective communications - both verbal and visual. Focuses on the content of the presentation - not just the visual. Gives specific guidance for taking a large quantity of information and turning it into a focused and engaging presentation

My topic is Community Service and Work Place Learning. The first website including multimedia artifacts is http://hcscareers.vic.edu.au/index.php?page=Occupations-A-Z. This site includes opportunities for behavioral and physical activity. By using the career quiz as a hook or a preassessment, students are able to reflect on their career of choice. The cognitive artifacts include videos related to each occupation. As stated by Mayer (2009), learning comes from cognitive activity, and the videos describing each job in its natural state allows for active processing. The site encompasses cognitive and physical activity that supports active learning from the hook presented on the home page to the opportunity to develop personal profiles and resumes.

As I continue to ponder the idea of community service and work place learning, I have come to the understanding that the project would serve students better than professionals. This site, http://www.kidactivities.net/, is fun and interactive dedicated to the learner and centered in engaging children through a variety of activities. The community service aspect of the site is full of behavioral activities, but in this case, learning is taking place as teachers can help students integrate their prior knowledge with information obtained. Though I continue to agree with the video in our module 1 resource related to methods not media; however, the media in this case will improve the methods used for a variety of students and styles of learning.

Free video hosting website. This will be used by my workshop members to host their "A day in the life of..." video part pre-training for the GoAnimate workshop. I like the website because its individualized and you can have your own community.

Twiducate is a safer, more school-friendly version of Twitter. It is used in much the same way as Twitter in terms of status updates and the uploading of pictures and videos, but the content is much more controlled. Twiducate can be used to stay in contact with workshop participants and students, providing them with a forum for asking questions and getting updates on the workshop or class. This site will meet the need to communicate that workshop participants and students have while keeping them from having to deal with the negative content often found on Twitter.

This site is a resource that provides templates for building lesson plans. Teachers can explore the different templates to find one that helps them organize materials and communicate objectives. The templates provide a variety of styles and are easy to download. The combination of text and graphics will help present the material in a dual coding mode.

This listing gives good directions on locating Web 2.0 tools. This list has more variety in the tools listed. It uses text and graphics to communicate the concepts.
