Power Point Lesson Plan
|
Reflection |
| I
have used this project with teachers and students to introduce PowerPoint.
Most teachers ask for handouts so that students have a reference when I am not available. But I have found that students are able to solve problems through trial and error and by asking each other. My usual method of introduce the application is to go into a computer lab with students and give them a hands-on introduction through modeling. The teachers can than assist those students who may need assistance as the class goes through the introduction. I have shown teachers also how to use PowerPoint through hands-on sessions usually during staff development days. All teachers are required to have a parent teacher conference during the first week of school. Several teachers find it effective to have a group conference since little work has been done by students yet. I help teachers to create presentations that introduce themselves, describe the course they are teaching, give student expectations, describe their homework policy, class rules and contact information. They can then print their slide handouts to both parents and students as a reference. |
