Motivating Yourself & Others - 0 views

  •  
    The presentation is designed to begin with a self-reflective quiz about the learner's beliefs about motivation. The presentation might be useful in conjunction with a discussion activity and perhaps a mind mapping project. The learner-centered approach utilizes technology to help organize and deliver information but the primary learning opportunity is cognitive based through discussion.

Skype mobile for Verizon Wireless - Using Skype on your cell phone - YouTube - 0 views

  •  
    In this video produced by Verizon Wireless, viewers can watch how users can use their cell phone to Skype others. It discusses ways to call, video conference, and instant message using Skype mobile. I think that this multimedia was an example of student-centered learning because it was showing how individuals could use Skype on their phones. This video focuses on the cognitive ability of learners.

Tablets and iPads - 0 views

  •  
    This Web site includes a collection of resources (articles, blogs, podcasts, and presentations) related to the significance of tablets and iPads in K-12 and higher education institutions. One article in particular discusses seven things that users need to know in using iPad apps in education (http://net.educause.edu/ir/library/pdf/ELI7069.pdf). The scenario provided in the article makes for a learner centered approach to learning, as the iPad is simply used to enhance student's natural learning in identifying stars and constellations. Additionally, the active engagement required focuses on cognitive activity.

    Wikis/Wikispace is a website that allows groups, individuals, etc. to create web pages on their preferences. Members are invited to groups. Also the web pages can be public or private. Wikispace is a great website because I can create a page to upload a survey/questionnaire to determine the knowledge of the participants. Also A chat session/blog will be created so the learners can receive feedback on their questions.
  •  
    Wikispaces is an excellent platform for providing information to individuals and groups. I have used this resource for many years and prefer the simple layout and navigational tools. Information can be linked, downloaded and posted to provide synchronous and asynchronous learning opportunities. Active discussions, or interactions can also be monitored.
  •  
    Assignment 3 Wikispaces provides sharing and feedback of pre-training requirements. The creation of a wiki for pre-training material promotes essential learning by allowing learners to engage with key elements of the workshop and build retention of fundamental skills. I prefer wikispaces due to the cost effectiveness and technical ease of the software as well as faithful tech support.
  •  
    Allows users to create simple web pages and allow public access and rights to edit pages together. This site is free and easy to use. It does not require participants to have a login to view.
  •  
    Because my workshop is about Using Wikis in Education, the authentic assessment for my workshop participants will be to create a wiki for their professional/classroom use. Wikispaces will be used to house my own presentation so it will serve as an exemplar for what they are expected to produce. By creating their own wikis, participants will demonstrate generative learning because they will need to organize and apply their learning to create their own authentic project utilizing a rubric. I chose this site because it is user friendly and produces an attractive product. Additionally, Wikispaces has excellent video tutorials to demonstrate how to use the site.
  •  
    Wikispaces allows users to create pages for sharing. The user can present to many individuals without having to leave the house. It creates an online setting where users can participate in online learning with each other. Students may work together in teams on pages within the Wiki. It is an effective tool because of the ability to post work in an organized manner.
  •  
    Wikispaces is a free resource that allows you to create online presentations. I like this resource because it is free, easy to use, and it create professional looking presentations in a website form.
  •  
    This website was chosen to demonstrate the usefulness of wikis in the classroom. This website is learner-centered where, "the focus is on using multimedia technology to aid to human cognition." (Mayer, 2009, p. 13) Using this website, workshop participants can see how easy it is to create a wiki page for them and for their students to create. Mayer considers behavioral activity to be hands-on. Since this website will be used for hands -on activity, creating a wikispace, this website should be considered behavioral.
  •  
    Wikispaces is a great way to showcase a student's work in progress or the finished product. Students can insert a link to their completed ActivInspire flipcharts for everyone to see. Free and easy to use.
  •  
    Wikispaces is a great online collaboration tool to use for authentic assessment activities. Wikispaces allows the learner to integrate the material in various ways as Wikispaces will allow embedding of presentations, videos, animations, virtually anything that can be embedded can be put into Wikispaces.
  •

    This site allows users to host free wiki that can be public or private. This is a great service for students and teachers. It is easy to use (compared to other wiki sites) and it allows the publisher to have a lot of control of content, editing and privacy. Students could use this to create a large graphic organizer that they could all participate in editing.
  •  
    I have used a number of different wiki sites but find Wikispaces the most user friendly and intuitive one - great qualities from a user perspective. They also offer timely support if needed. I would highly recommend it.
  •  
    Wikispaces is an online wiki hosting site. Users can collaborate to create a variety of products using a variety of media including text, pictures, links, and videos. Teachers can create teams to collaborate on authentic projects. The wiki is not what makes the assessment authentic, it is what the teacher and learners do with the wiki that allows it to provide an authentic learning experience. Wikispaces is a great site to create wikis because it is intuitive and easy to use. It tracks each change and allows members to view previous edits, and restore old versions, if needed. Wikispaces can promote generative processing by providing a space and opportunity for learners to integrate the content into an authentic product. It is better than other similar sites because it provides so many options and features for contributors, but it is still user friendly.
  •  
    In wikispaces, users can set up their own pages and work collaboratively with other users. Wikis can hold files, media and can contain links to other areas.
  •  
    Wikispaces allows users to collaborate online. Features include embedding files and videos, invitations to members, and restrictions for access and editing. Wikis support the principles of generative and essential learning. The collaboration that occurs through the use of a wiki creates an engaging learning environment for participants to process the material they are learning. Wikis are easier to use for collaborative efforts.
  •  
    o Wikispaces provides a space where learners can collaborate while developing a final product to demonstrate understanding. Pictures, videos, documents, and just about anything can be added to the site. Cognitive processing is at its best with this tool as learners create knowledge together from the material they have studied. o Extremely easy to use especially with the update where the teacher can create a class code to share with students so they can join the class from any wiki account.
