I have never been super comfortable with power points.
This gave me some great suggestions that will help me feel more confident about using Power Points in the class room
ways to effectively use teaching aids such as blackboards, powerpoint or other visual media as well as soft skills dcevelopment.
VARY YOUR MEDIUMS. Combining sensory inputs will increase the students ability to retain information.
I use power points and after this course will revamp them.
I need to adjuct my powerpoint lectures to better accomodate student learning. I do have a lot of print on these slides and I need to reduce the amount. I like the idea of using flip charts in the classroom as well for student brainstorming. We could use these during our nursing simulations.
I will revisit my PowerPoint presentations, following the 10-20-30 rule
The methods to use in instruction vary. I leared that not jut one method should be used - but, several to get your point across to the students. One method is not the best choice for all of the students.
So true! We really need to do a better job when crafting lessons. Sequence is important, and so is quantity. A then B, then C, but be careful about introducing D and E until another lesson. We run the risk of getting to point D,E and unwittingly erasing A, B, and C from the frontal cortex. This is especially true for new learners.
If you overload them in a crowed powerpoint you stand the chance of losing or overlooking what you want them to grasp be careful what you use and how you do it
I learned in this section to use a variety of teaching methods. Don't just get stuck in one method and stay there. Effective teaching uses uses variety and even embelish on these methods while using them.
No more overloading powerpoint slides with everything said on it.
Intigrating our senses was a great tool that can be used to improved students retention of content presented.
I appreciated the Powerpoint info and advice. I'd like to think that I'm proficient with ppt but it's always good to add knowledge and insight.
Use the 10/20/30 rule with powerpoints. Don't use too many (more than 5) points per slide. Use a large enough enough font so that the students can read it easily. Be careful not to just read from the powerpoint
The pointers for PPT presentations gave me effective ideas about how to reduce clutter, reduce number of points/slide and increase font size to enhance student learning.
Rule 10/20/30 is very applicable in the learning process because it helps the students focus more.
Using the whiteboard effectively and keeping it tidy makes a difference in the learning environment. Also, the 10-20-30 rule when it comes to making effective powerpoints.
Be creative and use many media's and sources to make class interesting
I need to be inventive and put interesting clips or video for my students to be engaged and build their critical thinking skills
WHEN USING POWER POINTS AND FLIP BOARDS DO NOT USE NO MORE THAN 10 AND DONT OVERLOAD THE STUDENT. KEEP A CLEAN CHALK BOARD
I learned to use teaching methods for the students to use multiple sensors; hearing, seeing, smell.. And the 10/20/30 rule is best for power points.
