=Module 2: **Devise a Plan **= > **1. Authentic Assessment Activity:** Now that you have determined the topic for your workshop, you can start thinking about the kind of authentic assessment activity you would like to include. **//Begin with the end in mind//** and decide what kind of product you would like your participants to create to demonstrate that they can apply the principles/content/skills they learned in the workshop.

Authentic Assessment: The participants will be able to construct a wiki and be able include text and visuals as well as embed videosabout a lesson to be used as part of an instructional unit.

> **2. Presentation:** Determine what kind of presentation would be most engaging so participants can learn the basic concepts and skills needed to complete the authentic assessment activity.

A wiki will be used as the platform for the workshop and will include prezis, Google Docs slideshows, video clips, and images. It also will serve as a model on how wikis can be used in the classroom for instruction.

> **3. Graphic Organizer:** After you develop a general outline for your workshop, create a graphic organizer to help focus participants’ attention on the key points of your presentation. This organizer will help participants actively engage and focus on key points in the presentation. > **4. Pre-Training:** When you have an overview of the concepts and skills you are presenting, you may decide that there is a need for pre-training to provide advanced teaching for your participants. Mayer suggests that this can help clarify concepts that may confuse learners and “set the stage” for learning. Pre-training should take place as an activity or introduction prior to the beginning of your presentation. Think of a creative, yet effective way to accomplish this task. > The concepts of what a wiki is and how it can be used in the classroom are needed before the workshop begins. I will use a voicethread and GoAnimate text to video multimedia tools will be used as well as a brief tutorial I created to familiarize themselves in the pre-training activity. This will teach them how to post a response to a discussion on a wiki page.

**Modules 3,4,5 Guiding Questions**

 * 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?

 The participants will create their own wiki page that will include text, images, and audio about a lesson that they will teach to students as a part of the instructional unit.


 * 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?

A wiki will be used as the platform for the workshop and will include prezis, Google Docs slideshows, video clips, and images. It also will serve as a model on how wikis can be used in the classroom for instruction. I will include visuals, text, and videos.

 * What kind of graphic organizer would be best to give your participants to help facilitate learning in your workshop?

A graphic organizer that provides simple ways to take notes and write down steps. It will be broken down into Pre-training activity and then Parts 1-4. It will be color schemed to improve its look and help participants remain organized.


 * 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?

The concepts of what a wiki is and how it can be used in the classroom are needed before the workshop begins. I will use a voicethread and GoAnimate text to video multimedia tools will be used as well as a brief tutorial I created to familiarize themselves in the pre-training activity. This will teach them how to post a response to a discussion on a wiki page.


 * What equipment will you need to conduct your workshop (projector, laptops for each pair of participants, Internet connections, other)?

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I will need a projector, laptops for each participant, and the Internet to successfully facilitate the workshop.


 * <span style="color: #333333; font-family: Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">What online applications might you use?

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">wikispaces.com <span style="color: #333333; font-family: Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">prezi.com <span style="color: #333333; font-family: Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">voicethread.com <span style="color: #333333; font-family: Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">goanimate.com <span style="color: #333333; font-family: Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Google Forms (survey)


 * <span style="color: #333333; font-family: Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">How will your participants collaborate on their projects? How will you group them to create authentic assessment in your workshop?

The participants will collaborate on a practice wiki as a practice authentic assessment first and complete the final authentic assessment by themselves and submit it to me via a URL link on the discussion thread on wikispaces.com.
