MediaPackage

Media Package 1) For the instructional portion of the unit PowerPoint and Avervision will be the predominant forms of technology used in my lecture. I have also included a short video on motivation that will be used as a review in lesson 2. The remainder of the workshop will rely heavily on group interactions. Integration of additional technology seems forced. 2) Instructional Events || Abstract/Summary || Intended Media || Rationale || Lesson # 1 || Learners will write for several minutes on a prompt regarding motivation. As a whole class we will come to a consensus on the definition of motivation on a flipchart. Lastly, I will lecture using a PowerPoint presentation on motivation and factors leading to reading motivation. || * Avervision The flipchart will be used as a visual means to communicate group thinking. Flipcharts are preferable over the whiteboard because the “thinking” can be saved on paper and referred to at a later time. The PowerPoint is a way for both learner and lecturer to stay on point. || Lesson # 2 || As a review I will play a short video which shows various motivation scenes from famous films compiled together. As a class we will review what was learned in the previous lesson and how this compares/contrasts to Hollywood's idea of motivation. After the group activity I will present a final PowerPoint on promising practices in reading motivation. || * Avervision The video will be a humorous way to get learners attention while acting as a review. The PowerPoint is a way for both learner and lecturer to stay on point. || Lesson # 3 || In groups, learners will solve a problem then share their solution with the class using the Avervision. || * Avervision || The Avervision will be used as a technological tool to aid instruction. || Lesson # 4 || Final Reflection || * Avervision || The Avervision will be used as a technological tool to aid instruction. || 3) Instructional Media:
 * Flipchart
 * PowerPoint ||
 * Video
 * PowerPoint ||

4) This design is fairly straightforward. Follow the instructional sequence found here and use this media package to see when and why instructional media is incorporated. Since this workshop is meant for teachers to reflect upon and improve their instruction a great deal of the workshop is based on their personal experiences in the classroom. For this reason group work and class discussions are paramount. Technology has been included to enhance instruction, but is not the focus.
