Purpose:
S.S.'s purpose is to represent herself as a qualified instructional technology
consultant.
Persuasion:
Each button located on S.S.'s homepage links to diverse information, which
matches the proposed criteria. For example, on her Webfolio homepage (http:/
/kids-learn.org/), S.S. provides links to the following information:
•
Examples of lessons and units of study
•
Class Web sites
•
Projects
•
Assessments
•
Student work
•
Links for educators, parents and students
These links demonstrate S.S.'s ability to provide successful technology instruc-
tion, and influence the reader.
On her Instructional Technology Consultant: Presentations and Workshops
Web page (http://kids-learn.org/susansilverman/consulting.htm), S.S. adver-
tises her upcoming speaking engagements at educational conferences and
conventions. She is attempting to persuade the reader to attend her speaking
engagements or hire her consultation services.
The U.S. Department of Education recommends that school
districts allocate 30% of their technology budgets for staff
development. Below is a list of workshops and presentations I
have and will be giving at conferences and schools. I am
available to provide customized staff development at any
location. (http://kids-learn.org/susansilverman/consulting.htm)
