This will be a brief overview of the presentation including the purpose, goals and intended
outcomes.
We will be learning to use a new Web 2.0 tool called Padlet.
Slide 9: This will be an opportunity for participants to check out a YouTube Video that also
implements the Multimedia Principle. (2 min)
What do you think about this video?
How do you think world language students benefit from a video like this?
Slide 10: Lets try out the multimedia principle on Padlet! (7 min)
Double click on the wall to create a new post-it.
Give the post-it a title or add your name.
Add a URL, upload a file, and if your computer has camera and/or microphone you can add a
recording.
This will be on opportunity for participants to contribute to our Padlet.
Participants should take a few minutes to search and CHOOSE a GOOD example of multimedia
incorporating the multimedia principle, or CREATE a brief example and add to Padlet.
Slide 11: World Map (1 min)
Recap of what participants have started contributing to Padlet.
How does everyone feel with the multimedia principle?
What do you think about Padlet so far?
Slide 12: Personalization principle (3 min)
What is it? People learn better from multimedia when words or narration are presented in
conversational style rather than formal.
Why do you think this is this way?
Would you prefer someone talking AT you or talking WITH you?
How do you feel when things are presented in conversational style?
We will have a conversation about why this is so important in a World Language class.
Slide 13: Personalization Principle example (2 min)
How well does this video follow the personalization principle?
Allow students to answer this question and start a brief discussion on best ways to create
personalized presentations in a world language classroom.
Slide 14: Voice Principle (2 min)
What is it? People learn better when audio narration is in a human voice rather than a
machine/computer voice?
How do you feel when you listen to narrations made by a machine voice?
We will have a quick discussion about audio learning in second-language acquisition.
Slide 15: Voice principle example (2 min)
We wont actually watch the entire video, but we will have a discussion on the importance of
hearing a human voice opposed to a computer voice in learning a second language.
Pronunciation wouldnt be the same!
Slide 16: Image Principle (1 min)
People dont necessarily learn better when the speakers image is added on-screen.
Do you feel any different when the speaker's picture is added on-screen to the presentation?
