Possible Audience: Elementary Teachers and elementary students? I think if we do elementary students as an audience, we will probably need to narrow it down to a range like K-2 or 3-5, since their understandings will be very different. If we choose elementary students as our audience, I would prefer to do 3-5 since that's the age I know more about as a 4th grade teacher. :) ﻿I agree with addressing 3rd-5th graders as an audience.  Possible Tools: Prezi, PowerPoint (though another tool may be better), Animoto (I've not used yet), make a PowerPoint and use Picsviewr to add some pizazz (this one is new to me), or 280 slides (yet another I haven't used).  VoiceThread? Is this a ppt with audio  What would the Dr. Eisenberg presentation be considered? A ppt plus voice thread? I still like the simplicity of a ppt for younger students, but agree that we need to jazz it up some. ﻿ I wondered the same thing about Dr. Eisenberg's and also Dr. M's presentations. I know Voice Thread is where you do audio recordings but I'm not sure how to couple it with a presentation. Maybe Prezi would be a good tool as it is used for presentations, as well as a collaborative tool? I think many students and teachers would welcome an alternate approach to powerpoint. Plus it sounds like it's easy to collaborate on to complete the assignment?

Considerations for Presentation: -Inform audience of the rationale behind the method ﻿Are we presenting on Big 6 since this is what we primarily use in our grade level or are we going with Savvy 7 since it's similar? -Provide a quick overview of the steps -Provide examples of how it can be implemented at various grade levels (especially in a non-linear way) -Links to helpful websites

-Roles of teachers, teacher librarians and students

-Make a handout using the printing press from readwritethink.org. []

-Real-life example that is relevant to audience ﻿ Maybe we can mention here that the research method can be implemented anytime we want to dig further on lessons taught in the classroom. This might tie in to the "possible projects" part of the rubric
