Module 5

Visualization - See classmates' videos

Assignment
Create a 1.) tutorial video presentation utilizing only free, browser-based, non-device specific digital resource(s) that demonstrate the difference between a cluttered "visualization" and a well-organized "visualization." 2.) Use Screencast-o-matic to record your presentation (strive for 3 minutes or less) while you provide narration. 3.) Once you have recorded your video, upload it directly to YouTube. 4.) Copy the URL of your video and post it the in the Google+ community under the correct heading.

(This is not you reviewing a series of websites and comparing them on a ScreenCast.) In the text box above your posted video, provide a description of your video and its significance to teaching and learning. Reflect upon this idea of cognitive overload within computer-based environments and what you consciously thought about as you created your video. Within your post, embed two ISTE standards and correctly follow all directions provided in order to receive consideration for full credit of 50 pts.

Highlights
The concept of "cognitive load," and Cognitive Load Theory, was well demonstrated through video presentations by students.

Standout examples of overloaded visualizations: Standout examples of well-organized visualizations:
 * James Skinner showed a good example of an organized but overly loaded presentation at the beginning of his presentation.
 * Kellie Morrill had a great infographic demonstrating how to efficiently share lots of data with families.
 * James Skinner's Sway presentation on "Tying a Pheasant Feather Fly" was an excellent use of an alternative tool to make an effective, interactive demonstration.
