Artifact # 4
Power Point Presentation to show the set up of a classroom throughout the year. It can be used to inform parents and colleagues of what is being learned in my classroom.
Rationale for the Artifact: Power Point Presentation
Competency 11.2: “Use media and technology to present the subject so that it is comprehensible to others.”
Competency 11.4: “Use technology to facilitate teaching strategies specific to the discipline.”
Competency 12.6: "Resources available including satellite, cable, wireless, and ITFS (Instructional Television Fixed Service)."
Context:
I created this artifact during the summer of 2001 in Classroom Use of the
Microcomputer in grades K-12. This artifact was designed to help teachers
learn how to use technology in appropriate way so that it is an effective
tool for learning in the classroom. We used Microsoft Power Point
in a group to create a presentation for the class. As a group we decided
that we would be sixth grade teachers, so we used Power Point to make a presentation
that would introduce parents to what the students would be learning in the
sixth grade. In our presentations we listed the goals for several subjects
that we could be teaching. To enhance the slide show we added animation
and sound to make them exciting. Once we were finished we had to present
this material to the class in an orderly and professional manner. While
presenting we used a wireless touch screen to change the slides and move the
volume up and down. This was I very fun and exciting way to present
information.
Impact:
As a future teacher, I will be giving many presentations to faculty, parents,
and students and this will be a useful technique to know in presenting my
materials. It will come in handy because I could also use this at a
PTO meeting to inform parents of the curriculum for that year.
Alignment:
This artifact aligns with competency 11.2
- because I used a Sony projector, speakers, and computer to present my
material. I also used a digital camera to import a picture into the
presentation.
This artifact aligns with competency 11.4 - because in a cooperative learning group we gathered a presentation of the sixth grade and presented it to the class using Microsoft Power Point.
This artifact aligns with competency
12.6
- I used a wireless touch screen to activate the presentation in order
to present it to the class.
