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

Group 1	Group 2	Group 3	Group 4
Katy Cornell 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

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.

• Your video should be as close the one minute as possible
• You MAY NOT say or write the name of the theory or theorist in your skit
• You MAY act out parts, record the computer screen, or make graphics for your video with the paper and markers provided.
• You MAY use props if you have any available.
