WEEK 6
This week's task was the most challenging for me. I didn't have enough time to try a lot of things regarding interactive PowerPoint presentations. My laptop where I keep my work stopped working today and I don't know if I would be able to upload the PowerPoint I have created in time.
Regarding my final project, I have to follow the plan rather than the teaching project since exam period begins in a week and I can't possibly implement my ideas. As I have written in nicenet the previous week, I intend to create a web quest for improving my students' presentation skills and their fluency. Towards that direction, I think it is a good idea to direct them into watching two different successful presentations, one with the aid of technology (let's say using powerpoint or prezi) one without. While watching the presentations they can fill in a chart I will give them with DO's and DON'Ts of good presentations. Then in pairs, discuss their ideas and share with the whole class. I also plan to implement K-W-L chart which I learned last week!
That's all for the time being.

Hi Maria
ReplyDeleteThings do get busy in our class. Nothing is more frustrating then your equipment not working when you need it the most. I hope you are able to work through this without too negative an experience. I think technology is one of those "can;t live with it, can't live without it" types of things. Sure it could in theory save us time and make our lives easier, but...
