 Multimedia Technology to Facilitate Learning:

The Cell Phone: The Next Educational Innovation
 * __Module 1: __**
 * __ Topic: __**

This Multimedia workshop is designed for educators who are interested in taking the cell phone from distraction to educational learning tool.
 * __ Population: __**

By the end of this course students will be able to: 1. Use the cell phone in an educational setting. 2. Design assignments and assessments through the use of a cell phone. 3. Use existing technology in conjunction with the use of cell phones. I believe my participants already know that the technology that currently is cell phones is not conducive to the learning environment. I believe what that the learners that would attend this class would be interested in trying to incorporate cell phone use into the classroom environment. The existing gap between the two would be the fact that most educators do not know how to incorporate the cell phone into the classroom as an educational tool. My workshop would be designed to give educators a few ideas to how to incorporate cell phones into the classroom in a way that make them conducive to learning. __**Module 2: **__

Planning:

 1. How will you include Mayer’s principle of active processing in your authentic assessment activity? I will use graphic organizers in my workshop and presentation to meet Mayer's principle of active processing.

2. What kind of product will your participants create to demonstrate their learning using multimedia technology? My participants will be creating an actual lesson for their use in their classroom. By the time participants leave my workshop they will actually have a working piece of multimedia to take back to their classroom.

3. 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)? I will be using videos and power points to present my key skills to my participants.

4. How will you include Mayer’s principles of dual coding and limited capacity in your presentation? To meet the needs of Mayer’s concept of limited capacity I will keep my content concise. To meet the needs of Mayer's dual coding principle I will use background audio and text to be included in a track.

5. What kind of graphic organizer would be best to give your participants to help facilitate learning in your workshop? I believe my students will need to create their own graphic organizer of different ways they can use the tools I am sharing with them. I will create a blank template for them to fill in as we go and have another one ready for when they are ready to start planning.

 6. What concepts in your presentation will require pre-training before you begin the workshop? Both Yodio and poll everywhere will need pre-training before they are used.
