 * __Topic__: Engaging Students in Project-Based Learning using Multimedia **


 * __Population__: This workshop is designed for the school-wide staff of a K-5 elementary school. **


 * __Outcomes__: The objectives of this workshop are: **
 * 1) **Educators understand how they can use multimedia for instruction. **
 * 2) **Educators understand how to guide students through project-based learning. **
 * 3) **Educators understand how to create an effective multimedia presentation based on Mayer's principles. **
 * 4) **Participants in the workshop will develop their own multimedia presentation to create a project-based learning (PBL) activity for students. **


 * __Gap__: The participants of this workshop are already aware that technology provides advantages in the way that students can gather information visually and verbally. From this workshop, I want the participants to learn about tools that can be used in creating multimedia presentations and how to teach students how they are used effectively and successfully. There is a gap in what technology teachers understand how to use and what they actually feel confident applying through their instruction. Teachers must also understand that learners have a limited capacity as to how much information they can grasp at one time. Therefore, presentations must stay focused on the content and not be overwhelming for students. **

__**Technology for Workshop **__**: ****To conduct this workshop, each participant will need their laptops that has been designated to them by the school. Each laptop will need to have an Internet connection, and the workshop presenter will need appropriate wires to connect their laptop to an active board with a compatible projector. Tables will be needed for small groups to be able to effectively communicate and collaborate together. **
