 * DEVISE A PLAN **

**__Authentic Assessment Activity__** The participants will develop a lesson plan that incorporates the use of the Promethean Board. The lesson plan will be based on what participants learned during the workshop. Participants will use Google Docs in collaborative groups to complete the assignment.

**__Presentation__---** The workshop will include PowerPoint and online interactive tutorials.

**__Graphic Organizer__**--- The graphics organizer will be a mind map created through Webspiration on all the general aspects of the training.

**__Pre- Training__** Participants will need to have knowledge on how to use Google Docs and they should complete the Google Doc and Activinspire online tutorials before the workshop. The instructor will send the links through email two weeks prior to the training. The link will allow the participants to register for Google Docs if not already registered and become familiar with the online programs.

1. How will you include Mayer’s principle of active processing in your authentic assessment activity? What kind of product will your participants create to demonstrate their learning using multimedia technology? Teachers will use knowledge learned in the workshop about promethean boards to create a lesson plan that will integrate the promethean board into their classroom
 * BEGIN DEVELOPMENT **

2. What kind of multimedia presentation must you create to effectively present key concepts and skills to your participants (video, PowerPoint, podcast, screencast, interactive tutorial, or other)? How will you include Mayer’s principles of dual coding and limited capacity in your presentation? I will use a PowerPoint presentation that consist of words, pictures, and sound to incorporated Mayer's idea of dual coding. To accomplish limited capacity, the slides have few words and no more than one or two pictures to help the learners stay on track and interested in the topic.

3. What kind of graphic organizer would be best to give your participants to help facilitate learning in your workshop? To help facilitate learning, I will use a mindmap created using Webspiration.

4. What concepts in your presentation will require pre-training before you begin the workshop? How will you use multimedia to engage your learners during the pre-training phase? Participants will need to have working knowledge of the Google DOCS application. An email will be sent two weeks prior to the training. This email will provide instructions and a link to Google DOCS so that participants may become familiar with the program and register for an account. Students are also asked to complete an introductory tutorial that will give them basic information about promethean boards and how the can be used in their classroom. This tutorial will help to save time and provide basic information before the workshop.

5. What equipment will you need to conduct your workshop (projector, laptops for each pair of participants, Internet connections, other)? The workshop will be conducted the Reading lab at Sylvester Road Elementary which has 20 Internet ready computers. Microsoft Office 2007 and Promethean software installed on each computer. The presentation will require an LCD Projector and screen.

6. What online applications might you use? Online interactive tutorials and Google DOCS

7. How will your participants collaborate on their projects? How will you group them to create authentic assessment in your workshop? Participants will work in groups of 5 per team. Each member will critique each other lesson plans with a rubric after which, the entire group will discuss and give constructive feedback.
