Overview
Presentation
This assignment requires creating a
PowerPoint display for use with students. The display can be directions for
completing an assignment, information to teach students a concept, or an
interactive teacher-led lesson. Your presentation should demonstrate a
solid understanding of the software’s multimedia features and should
contain at least 10 slides. Place your final display on your website. Show your display to the class using your
portable drive or via the Internet. Be sure to test your presentation
several times before the presentation and to test the sound on the computer
you will use if you have inserted sound into your presentation.
Suggested Elements: Modify and substitute in accord with your teaching
objectives and student learning.
These are suggestions to give you a sense of what is expected.
Title slide to introduce
presentation.
Slides using the bullet layout, including at least one that
uses the dimming action effect In addition, you are urged to have several slides
that use the blank slide layout!
WordArt used appropriately.
Clip art used appropriately.
Internet graphic, a scanned picture, or a digital photo used
appropriately to show your grasp of using images beyond clip art. Be sure
to acknowledge sources for images just as you would text.
Background formats on slides used with discretion. Follow the
dark-light contrast rule.
Ability to create a hyperlink to another
slide or a website.
Transitional effects between slides.
Custom animation on at least one slide done in blank layout
that demonstrates understanding of entrance effects, including sound, if
used. Please exercise discretion in selecting entrance effects.
All text and images taken from
sources must be acknowledged. See the course grading information regarding
academic integrity.
Suggested Ways to Use PowerPoint
Create a descriptive list of 10
specific ideas for using PowerPoint in the classroom. This write-up will be
placed on your website for other teachers to use as a resource. Omit the
obvious, for example, Parents’ Nights. Your readers will be interested in
new and fresh ideas to enrich their teaching. Make your suggestions
specific to the grade level and discipline you teach or will be certified
to teach. You can include hyperlinks to PowerPoint samples of your ideas.
Be sure your descriptions are clear
and your work is neatly formatted for ease of use. Use a descriptive label
for each idea and describe it in sufficient depth so another teacher can
readily follow along and implement your suggestion. For example, you might
consider using PP to have students review information on the planets in the solar system and indicate that each slide about a planet with give three specific pieces of information and include one relevant picture.
Analyze prior EDUC 570 students’
approaches to this assignment to understand that well-done descriptions
will be specific enough to guide another teacher. Have your own work peer
reviewed by others in our class. Plan on revising and editing your
descriptions based on feedback. You must have at least 10 suggestions.
How Specific PowerPoint Can Be Used
Also, prepare a short explanation
of how the PowerPoint that you created and placed on your website can be
used. The explanation needs to clarify how the PowerPoint can be
incorporated in the classroom setting. Thus, those who view your PowerPoint
on the Internet will know how the specific presentation may be used in
teaching and with students.
