1) Teachers will be able to interact with lessons and actively participate in a virtual world of discovery learning. 2) Teachers will be able to use technology to explore a variety of lessons connected to core academics.
 * Topic: Smartboard for Life-Learning
 * Population: High School Teachers
 * Outcomes:
 * Gap: Some teachers may know how to use and interact with Smart-boards. Working in a rural area where only 1 in 10 classrooms have a Smart-board and the demand for them is high and the budgets does not meet the demand.

Week 4: Plan **Smart-Board Plan**

Pre-Training Session: Will take place prior to entering the computer lab. There will be authentic items like ink pens, pencils, erasers, paper, crayons and markers set out on a table. There will also be a small paper bag given to each participant at the door when they enter the workshop. There instructions will be to take five objects with them to the training center in the computer lab for the Smart-Board presentation. The objects they choose will help them develop their lesson for presenting their Smart-Board application in the five-hour course, as part of the "setting the stage" activity.

AGENDA PLAN:

Week 6: Spatial Contiguity Principle: Mayer (2009) points out, “students learn better when words and pictures are presented near each other,” many times these are distractions and decrease the cognitive ability to capture the essence of the lesson (p. 135). Group: Sandra Johnson Amy Ward

The first example was a Net Project and the words are at the side of screen and red dots are scattered drawing special attention all over the page and not focus on the material at hand. []

The second video is very annoying with the words and actions from this lady as she describes different objects on the screen. It totally distracts the learner from the words on screen as some words are hidden and not clear to the learner. I caution you, it is a rough one of what “not” to do. []
