Thing 5- Presentations


Presentations

The following is a link to my presentation. I reflected on a session I recently attended at the MACUL conference about branding your classroom. It inspired me to think about what was really important in my classroom.

I used Haiku Deck to create my presentation on the iPad. At MACUL a lot of presenters used Haiku Deck and the visuals were amazing! I would recommend to students to first think of words that describe the purpose of their presentation. I think when using Haiku Deck the selection of images can be overwhelming so make sure they are picking out the images that best reflect their point and not just what looks cool. It is also important to choose the correct layout for the audience. Having a lot of words on the slide along with the large image in the background can be too busy so think again of what you want the audience to be focused on.

In my class I see student creating a presentation as a reflection after a field trip or community experience. They could pick the images of what they learned such as manners or a new word on their communication device. I think that this would fall under Modification in the SAMR model because they could just show the pictures but with using a presentation app they would have the ability to pick images and words to convey a message. My students enjoy sharing what they do at home so presenting a story about what they do at home for others to see would be cool. I think my students would like the idea for only using a couple of words to describe what they are talking about. Another idea they could present on would be to explain what they learned in our Unique Learning Curriculum for the month. They would be able to share this with other classes and students to show what they have learned. This would fall under Adaptation under the SAMR model because they could create images right from the internet to add to the presentation and then add to our classroom blog.
