Setting the Mood
You are adult learners who are either already educators or studying to be one in an Instructional Design Workshop aimed at building interest and understanding in new models of teaching and learning with technology. To introduce new learning theories as well as provide an ongoing resource for identifying each theory, we are going to split into groups and create videos that capture the essence of your groups selected theory (rules for the video will be described below).

Groups
Peggy Stagge Noah Kreisher || Theresa Aberle Tim Navaro Janet Zydney || Ted Jewell Kelsey June Danny Scheetz Karen Skelton || Tuncer Akbay Krista Girrasi Becky Sheehy Erol Uzan ||
 * ~ Group 1 ||~ Group 2 ||~ Group 3 ||~ Group 4 ||
 * Katy Cornell

Instructions
In your groups you will research the theory that you randomly select, create 2 or 3 questions for your classmates about this theory and record a skit that follows the guidelines below. Using the flip cam we will hand out to groups, you will record a short video skit to demonstrate the major characteristics or principles of your groups theory.

Here is a handy website to help you out researching your theory: [|**http://tip.psychology.org/theories.html**]

You will have 30 minutes to research your theory, create your questions and record your skit.
