Devise+a+Plan

//**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.
 * Students will create a Google Doc that contains a critical review of this workshop.
 * Students will add a new page to their Google Site called "MyMail Student Account Workshop".
 * On this page, the students will write one sentence descriptions of GMail, Google Sites, and Google Docs. They will also create a link at the bottom of this page that will send the user to their critical review Google Doc.
 * Each student will e-mail the teacher a link to their Google Site "MyMail Student Account Workshop" page.

> **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.


 * Links to YouTube tutorial videos, access to sample Google Sites, classroom discussions, modeling of skills by teacher, and students sharing their work with other students.

> **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.
