May 15: Project # 3 - Persuasive Preso: Features and Benefits. Audience: to department teachers, technology committee to allow access to Web 2.0 tools, Board of Education for more technology and access, other named audience. Should be mixed media, approximately 10 minutes.
I would expect a demonstration that includes some elements that you've learned so far in EDUC 675 to show your audience the features (what the elements can do) and benefits (how they can improve teaching and learning) of Google docs, Symbaloo, Weebly, Voki, Wordle, XtraNormal, subject specific sites, etc. You may choose an audience (see examples above) and imagine that you are the expert (you really are) who is leading your chosen audience to use or promote more technology use in classrooms. Your job is to be convincing as well as entertaining. The final product will be a Google Docs Presentation or if you looking for a new experience, a Prezi. Use the speaker notes feature in Google Docs Presentations as a script for yourself or a written explanation of how your demonstration will be used. Use links to sites and examples of work you have done. My fondest wish is for you to actually use this presentation with a real audience and report back that you really wowed them. Make this a 10 minute presentation.
I'm not sure why, but I'm already nervous about this project. Make sure that you are checking email frequently because I think I may be writing to ask questions a LOT!
ReplyDeleteI believe I got the most out of this assignment.... On May 2 I gave a presentation to my colleagues at a staff meeting using google sites and a power point/slide show format. I now know how to use Prezi to do the same thing.... Although, I did have trouble trying to create links that weren't YouTube or a picture. I wanted to share my classroom website on my Prezi and came up empty!
ReplyDeleteAs you see, from my comment on the 8th, I was REALLY nervous about attempting this project (more so because I was kind of clueless as to how to begin). However, I successfully used the googles doc presentation and put together a pretty good presentation (if I say so myself). I'll let you know what my colleagues thought of it.
