Initial+Planning

Authentic Assessment: Participants will create a dynamic interactive lesson that incorporates advanced features of the Smart board demonstrated in the presentation. Participants will use at least two Web 2.0 technologies as well as a variety of multimedia tools to help foster an exciting math lesson. Pre-Training : Open Smart board and self assess a previously designed Smart Board lesson. This will give a quick assessment of the skill level of the participants and it will help focus the participants to be aware of their objectives for taking this course. Presentation of Key Concepts/Content/Skills : Use advanced tools such as video capture, uploading audio or video, using Senteos, Smart view software, the video camera and designing interactive games.   Graphic Organizer : Use Bubbl.us to create a visual summary of possible multimedia effects to add to a lesson. Save the image to Smart notebook and create a working file of how to generate interactive lessons. 1.The learners will demonstrate their learning by mirroring the key concepts of the multimedia presentation and preparing a lesson for them to take with them back to their classroom. 2.The multimedia presentation I will create will include screen shots, video and audio files and tutorials on how to use specific features on the Smart board and how to incorporate Web 2.0 technologies into the lesson. I will be mindful of Mayer's dual capacity and limited capacity and I hope to train myself with this regard throughout the course. 3. The graphic organizer I will use for this presentation is online with bubb.us. I have found this to be very easy and visual appealing. 4. The pre-training will be more of an assessment and review of the basic skills that are expected by all of the participants. This is not an introductory course on how to use the Smart board. This is an advanced class to help teachers use the Smart board to create more effective and dynamic learning experiences for their students. 5. The equipment needed for this workshop includes projector, the Senteo system, Smart View software, a camera, Internet access and a networked printer. 6. I will use several online applications such as simulated math applets, excellent supportive resources, bubbl.us, and diigolet. <span style="color: #ff0000; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 120%;">7. The participants can choose to collaborate on their lesson or work alone depending on what each teacher wishes to achieve. Groups will be decided among the teachers based on their team planning of courses.
