Workshop 1: -Students who wish to participate sign the agreement form. -Students sign up for pre-instructional interview time to be completed this week -Complete pre-instructional technology survey -Introduce topic of my thesis by reading from Chapter One (background) -Begin workshop #1 (in the lab) Prezi to introduce Learning Objects and a video demo on creating an interactive PowerPoint. (1hr) -Pass out instructional handout on getting started in PowerPoint -Allow for independent working time (45 min.) on their interactive PowerPoint presentations. Ask that they complete them and email them to me. Workshop 2: -Allow two students (I have chosen) to share with the class and present their interactive PowerPoint presentations. Have students come up and use the SB for each PP. (allow 30 min. for sharing) Go over SB tools and settings. (10 min) -Field trip downstairs to the Sawhill Gallery. (bring digital cameras) Have students decide on three images they are drawn to in the show. Take pictures of the work and also of the entire gallery space. If possible, take one minute of video. (Allow 20 min. in gallery) -In the lab, Introduction to using a Prezi. Show students how to create an account and begin a Prezi. -Allow students to create a short Prezi using the still images for the Sawhill Gallery to be used on the iPads in the Sawhill Gallery to accompany the artwork. The program can cover any information students research about the art, or it can simply help viewers through steps of looking at the work. (art criticism activity). Allow aprox. 45 minutes to create their presentations in the lab and save them in Prezi. Email the link to me. (go over how to share a Prezi)

Workshop 3: (try to borrow a few iPads from the ETSC) -Meet in the Sawhill Gallery, with Prezi presentations loaded on the iPads. -Students pair up and trade iPads to use each others Prezi programs in the Sawhill Gallery.

(short demo/handout on uploading to YouTube if necessary) Wrap Up -Students will watch three successful virtual museum tours made by class members. -Brainstorm in small groups- make a list of all of the technology tools they learned during the workshops and how can they best use the learning objects? -Students will work together to create a rubric we will use to score their effective use of technology in their practicum lesson. (they will fill out the rubric in their exit interview. (I will also fill out the rubric for each student) -Students will fill out a post-instructional technology survey -Students will be notified of their post-instructional interview time (after their meeting with Roger) Finishing up: -I will provide written feedback as well watch their video together after they teach their lesson in practicum.
