G.+Presentation-Key+Concepts

In order to provide workshop particpants a multimedia presentation I will create two separate PowerPoint slide shows. Each slide show will overview essential components of the key concepts and be shown to particpants prior to the actual creation(hands-on) of wikis, blogs, and Skype. Embedded within the PowerPoint presentation will be video clips demonstrating the effective integration of wiki and blogs within the academic environment. Also within the presentation I will highlight how students and teachers can access wikis and blogs and share (exchange) ideas with others far from the actual four walls of the classroom. In order to complete this presentation I will require a laptop, LCD projector, screen, sound(speakers), grahic organizer(participants will compete during PowerPoint slides). Participants may access the workshop by either selecting the appropriate tab on the left side of the wiki page or by scrolling down this page. 8:00-8:15 a.m.: Welcome gathering in media center.
