Devise+a+Plan

Teachers will create a project-based lesson plan with an assignment based on an important Standard for their subjects using Web 2.0 resources to instruct students and expecting students in groups to use Web 2.0 resources for their demonstration of understanding. Wiki, PDFs, Word Documents, jpegs . I plan to incorporate methods that are consistent with constructivist pedagogy, including discovery learning and Web 2.0 strategies that the participants could use in their classrooms. Worksheet and video "Explaining Web 2.0."
 * Devise a Plan for a five-hour workshop on Web 2.0 and high school classrooms. **
 * 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.
 * 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.
 * 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.
