There are more rules to power point presentations than I use. I will be working on revising them and making sure the colors and fonts are all readable in the classroom.
This course has helpful stragtegies to making PP presentations to look presentable and be more effective in class to keep student attention in the classrooms.
Using PP will be helpful in students staying focused. They can be used as interactive models to help present information. When I present the information on the Whiteboard, I need to be aware of where I am standing so I am not blocking information. Give students a chance to take notes as I am giving the information and make sure I am connecting the information together.
Asking students to build powerpoints (and teaching them best practices to do so) is another great way to engage students.
Keep things simple and to the point. Overloading information can create bigger issues.
Some institutions can oush for the use of media, it is important to use the media that youare comfortable with and that will not be distracting to the students.
Observing the teaching styles of other instructors can be beneficial to my classroom as it will provide ideas and strategies revelant to all types of learners. Also, the different method of instructional media methods and tips of how to make them the most conducive to the pupil was great!
I have learned how to incorporate Flip Charts for use in the classroom discussions along with the use of color and highlighting when using the white board.
Make sure I’m not trying to have students drink water out of a fire hose.
learning is change education is training and instruction in a particular subject and student centered
I found the breakdown of PP presentations to be very helpful
I like the idea of using unifying backgrounds to group things thematically.
I have used "easyflip foil" as well to facilitate small group discussions during my classes and record the common findings to present them at the larger group later on.
They are a kind of a "new version" of flipcharts in the sense that it is much more easier to stick the sheets on nearly any kind of surface (wall, door, etc). Each sheet of easyflip foil sticks to the surface you are going to post it via magnetism and therefore it is no needed any kind of easel.
I do love these!!
I have learned several important aspects and details in regards to different delivering methods which will definitevely help me when selecting the appropriate ones for each classes.
It is quite remarkable that the module has facilitated me to mantain an opened mind-set to a variety of delivering methods based on how effective they might be to help my students to learn.
Therefore, I will double check the set of classes I have already prepared to confirm whether there might additional delivering methods to better achieve the learning objectives
Improving powerpoint presentations.
I learned that making effective deliverables can help determine if material being taught is getting through to the students.
In thi smodule I learned the importance of using summaries and effective powerpoints. The powerpoints should be well organized, and clear. Any mediums used to go along with my material should not overshadow my teaching, but add to it.
Using the senses like sight and hearing to retain information.
Every slide than you make should have at least 3 to 5 main focal points also i will include a Summary of the main purpose of the message that you like to delivery in your curriculum.
I learn about different metods aside powerpoints that help for an effective delivery of information. Also I'm looking forward to apply de 10-20-30 rule on my powerpoints presentations.
Try to appeal to the students sense of accompishment. Give them a new assignment.
