I'm From

created as an example presentation to aid students in implementing the
fundamentals of creating a PowerPoint presentation.
2018-2019 MOOC Project
The topic I have chosen for my 2018-2019 MOOC
Final Portfolio is one that can be utilised in a multitude of subject areas.
This year I was fortunate to work with a number of students in sexto. With them
being on the verge of transitioning into secondary, there were often areas of
preparation that my students inquired about. One question that I found to be
the most frequent was how to prepare presentations. By this point in their
academic lives, most of my students had become familiar with the idea of using
a poster to display information. Be it for their presentation on the human
body, their geography illustrations, or projects on their favourite musician
the “poster method” had run its course. Many of my older students were now
ready to discover new ways to not only prepare information, but to also present
it. In comes the infamous POWERPOINT. As a communication
major, I found that this topic was a perfect behind the scenes glance into what
interpersonal/organisation is (an engaged approach to understanding
everyday life from a communication perspective; how to present information and
ensure that it is properly received) and how it is part of our efforts
even in primary school. It is my hope that with this project, students will
better understand an universally embraced method for project presentation that
they can potentially use for the rest of their lives.

Project Overview
What are your objectives?
·To teach my students a new method of presenting information to their peers
What materials are you going to use?
·The only materials I anticipate needing are a computer and functioning audio/video screen in the classroom
What is the timing for your lesson?
·I plan to keep the timing of this lesson at a maximum of 15 minutes.
What is the teacher’s role?
·The teacher’s role will be to prepare photocopies of the PowerPoint slides to all the students. The teacher will also be in charge of the “bonus quiz” and to determine the value/associated mark.
What is your role as a LA?
·My role as LA will be to present the PowerPoint presentation to the students.
How are you and the teacher working to complement each other?
·The teacher and I are working to complement each other by openly developing the presentation slides together and presenting the information in a dual capacity.
What activities are the students going to do?
·Following the lesson/presentation, the students will take a “bonus quiz” on the material. Wrong answers won’t count against them, however if they earn a certain number of points (5) the teacher will grant them 1-3 bonus points on an upcoming assignment or exam.
How will you be evaluating the activities?
·The “bonus quiz” will serve as a quick evaluation of the presentations effectiveness.
How will the students know they have achieved the learning objectives?
·Per the score they receive on the “bonus quiz” and their ability to properly complete a PowerPoint presentation of their own.
How will you be responding to diverse learning styles and levels of achievement among your students?
·By presenting in all the following learning styles:
Auditory, Visual, and Kinaesthetic
I will use be actively speaking to the students, so they will hear me reciting information regarding the proper way to conduct a presentation. I will use the PowerPoint slides as a video aid. The prepared PPT slides will show on the audio/video screen. Additionally, I will be instructing all the to students stand up at their desk and practice good posture and eye contact with their peers to mimic being in front of an audience during a presentation.
