Week+4+-+PreDiffusion+V+Mitchell+Sevens

This Storyboard is a draft and additional work will be done probably over the weekend. I am very new to developing a storyboard. Your comments and concerns are always appreciated.

Your storyboard appears to be off to a good start. I'm a bit confused about the whole storyboard thing myself, Jason

Hi Val, What format do you think you are going to use in your multimedia presentation? Are you going to stick with a PowerPoint, create some type of movie, or use some other format? Since you are investigating the use of Tablet PCs/iPads, it would be really interesting if you were able to incorporate using the technology as part of the presentation. My technology is the interactive whiteboard, so I am hoping to use the technology to create parts of my presentation. We'll see how it goes!

I was curious about the flowchart that you incorporated into the storyboard. Is this the diffusion process that you would anticipate an teacher to utilize in order to successfully integrate the tablet PCs into their classrooms?

Do you have any thoughts on how the use of tablet PCs will influence teacher-centered versus student-centered learning? Just some food for thought. Keep up the hard work...

Hi Mike I plan to show a demo of the iPad 2 using a language art application near the end of the presentation. I will use the PowerPoint but overlay the pressentation with my voice and music. On the first week page are links on how to add voice or music to a PowerPoint pressentation. I still have to think about timing, animation and transitioning the presentation to perform the demo. However this seems to be the direction that I am going. Yes concerning the flowchart. Because of the growing popularity of the iPad 2 my children would quickly see that it gets diffused into my program. The other reason that I mentioned before is the need to accommodate blended learning where students only come to a school building a couple of times a week but they are still connected in the learning process (Siemens, 2006).
