I enjoyed the refresher on PowerPoint. I don't often use PowerPoint presentations, but I will, in the future, incorporate more lectures into my upcoming classes. I also took away the reminder to keep your presentations and lectures fun. It is hard for students and adults to sit and listen to a person talk; keeping the visuals interactive you maintain their attention.
Use the 10-20-30 rule on Powerpoints
In this module I learned tips on creating more effective Power Point slides, such as limiting the information to 3-5 points per slide.
One should match different delivery methods depending on content and/or goals for the instruction. Furthermore, there are basic guidelines to increase the effectiveness of various delivery methods that one should know,
To explore more media to use to relay information to students.
Traditional methods are always key.
Comment on Erica Gomez's post: What kind of information did you learn about formatting powerpoints?
I think that I have made my slides too "cute" instead of focusing on content.
Varying medium for showing instruction (not always PP slides)
To choose the right media content. Also The 10-20-30 For PowerPoint presentations. As well The importance of having great soft skills
To combat "death by powerpoint" there are some simple guidelines. 10/20/30. slow your pace on the slides...just like public speech.
Most of the times i used power point also.
When Student enter a course they need to move their senses to high alert so that they can take in the required input . As an Instructor , you need to recognize how the different senses are used ,inn the process of learning .
Sight 83% Hearing 11% Smell 3.5% Touch 1 % Taste 1%.
I like that also Education life-long process of acquiring new Knowledge and experiences.
Different models have different ways of presenting material to the students. Using a pp form will help students learn the material visually and I can pause for discussion if need be.
Utilize different media to change things up The use of other things other than Powerpoint. If using PPT, put less info on the slides and space things out for a better visual point.
This module had helped me tremendously because it allowed me to understand the best options and methods in delivering information to students, especially when using visual aids
I was curious about the optimal font size for PPTs; the 30 pt font guideline is helpful.
Using 3-5 points to convey the message more effectively to my students.
using variety in the slides, text followed by illustrations that way students have a visual interpretation of what you are explaining
Making sure that the focus is on the content of the slides and not the slides themselves.
Delivery method in power point slide should not be greater than content.
