 * 1) ===Participants will have choices of the media they incorporate into their final products for the workshop. They will be required to create a Wiki for their group which will be used to present their ongoing work.===
 * 2) ===The multimedia presentation will include audio and video that demonstrates while also giving participants time to practice the use of new concepts. Live face to face interactions will also occur to engage learners. Participants will be actively engaged while using the Skype, Google Docs, Wiki, and other technology of their choosing. The presentation will include video recordings creating of a Wiki to present work in. Additionally, participants will be given an array of media options of which they must select at least two to include in their projects===
 * 3) ===What kind of graphic organizer would be best to give your participants to help facilitate learning in your workshop? Participants will be provided with a packet of hard copies of two rubrics to assist as an organizer along with a short written overview of the workshop. The overview will include definitions, links, and overall objectives of the workshop. This information is also available to all participants in a Wiki using multimedia artifacts designed for the group. The assessment rubric will also serve as an organizer highlighting the main points.===
 * 4) ===Pre-training will include explanations of how to use a Wiki. It will also include an explanation of what multimedia is and how it can enhance current teaching practices. Mayer's principles will be provided. Video, interaction, and humor will be used as a means of engaging the participants. By using a constructivist approach in training, participants will be more motivated with the freedom to choose topics and media of their interests.===
 * 5) ===Equipment needed will be a desktop or laptop and internet connection for all participating in the workshop, including use of the school computer lab for face to face meetings and work time. A document camera will be needed for the instructor to present as well as being an option for participants to learn about and use in their final presentations. The flip cameras will be available for participants to learn about and use for gathering videos and still photos for their presentations if they choose. Additionally, other video recording hardware is available including cameras on some lab computers for recording.===
 * 6) ===What online applications might you use? Wiki, Google docs, Teacher Tube, Audacity, and Skype may be used.===
 * 7) ===Participants will collaborate in their small groups during their project creation both face to face and online using either Skype with document sharing or Google Docs. Participants will also be able to use the discussion tab in the Wikis as a mode of communication and collaboration. How will you group them to create authentic assessment in your workshop? Groups will be established by current instructional teams. There will be four grade level teams of seven members in each as well as a team for the specials teachers which will have six members. Four of these five teams currently have one and some two members who have more expertise on technology. These members will be available to guide the group members with less skill. As the trainer, I would be available to the fifth team as a guide more frequently than with other groups. Another option is to request one of the special education teachers who have technology knowledge from the grades 2/3 team and ask them to work with the kindergarten team. These teams are naturally composed of a diverse group of members with a variety of technology skills making the groups equitable. The main reason for grouping in this manner is that these teams already collaborate face to face and are familiar with the same curriculum.===
