**Multimedia Workshop - "Transforming Teaching through Technology"**

 * __Workshop Topic__:** Overview of technology Internet resources to create a learner-centered, problem-based, technology-enhanced, multimedia-rich lesson.

__**Workshop Participants:**__ K-12 Teachers and Administrators

__**Workshop Outcomes:**__ (1) Identify, create and implement critical components in lesson/unit design using the TPACK (Technological, Pedagogical And Content Knowledge) Framework. (2) Increase teaching methods and strategies that integrate the NETS-S (National Educational Technology Standards for Students). (3) Self-reflect and collaborate with colleagues to improve instruction utilizing Internet Web 2.0 resources.


 * __Learner Knowledge Gap__:** Teachers already know that there is a plethora of Internet resources available to enhance their teaching and their students learning. The overwhelming task of how to identify and integrate the resources that will best meet their teaching needs, and to enhance 21st century learning for their students is what I want them to learn. The gap is providing a structure for this to occur in an LMS (Learning Management System) that will organize this process, categorize key resources for ease of use, and provide a systematic approach to technology integration instruction.
