Your Task(s): |
You
are to use good principles of design and the Projected
Media Recommendations to develop a minimum of four overhead
transparencies to support a lesson related to an
identified technological concept/principle. |
|||
| During this activity you are to: | ||||
| (1) |
Select a topic that is related to an identified technological concept or principle. |
|||
| (2) |
Develop a one page paper to include: |
|||
| (a) | The lesson's title or topic. The lesson title or topic should be related to an identified technological concept or principle. | |||
| (b) | A statement of the lesson's purpose. | |||
| (c) | A description of the audience (e.g., age, grade level, course enrolled in, gender makeup, etc.) you will be presenting the lesson to. | |||
| (d) | Develop appropriate behavioral objective(s) for the lesson to be taught (e.g., cognitive, psychomotor, affective, and/or social). | |||
| 1. | See
Course Resources for information on developing goals and objectives. http://www.bsu.edu/web/rlshackelfor/itedu/Resources.htm |
|||
| (e) | Each one these items (title, purpose, audience description, and lesson objectives) should be listed under the appropriate heading (i.e., title, purpose, etc.). | |||
| (3) | Develop a content outline for the proposed lesson. (maximum length one page). | |||
| (4) | Develop a one page reference sheet or bibliography of the resources used to develop your content outline and overhead transparencies. | |||
| (a) | Use current APA format for the Bibliography. | |||
| (5) | Use
PowerPoint to develop color transparencies capable of supporting the
identified lesson. These overheads must include all
of the elements/techniques identified in Task #6.
(Remember, the primary purpose of using overhead transparencies is to facilitate/support learning. Be sure the media and teaching strategies utilized are appropriate for the content to be delivered.) |
|||
| (a) |
Use proper visual design principals to develop your transparencies.
See Projected Media Recommendations: http://www.bsu.edu/web/rlshackelfor/itedu/projectedmedia recommendations.htm Also see Course Resources for links to PowerPoint information and Tutorials. |
|||
| (6) | Your PowerPoint overheads must included the following elements/techniques. Naturally, additional techniques beyond these minimum criteria can be used to demonstrate the successful completion of the assignment's objectives. Elements/techniques to be used in one or more of the four assigned transparencies include: | |||
| (a) | PowerPoint Clip Art. | |||
| (b) | Modified
PowerPoint Clip Art (e.g., PowerPoint Clip Art that you modify by changing
colors, rotating or flipping the image, deleting a portion of the image,
etc.).
If you need assistance in performing this task, the following ideas or sources of information will help. |
|||
| 1. | In PowerPoint use the "Help" icon to
give you access to Microsoft PowerPoint Help. Then use the
"Contents", " Answer Wizard", or " Index" to find information on
topics such as "ungroup and modify clipart".
Note: "You can also convert a Microsoft Windows Metafile into Microsoft PowerPoint drawing objects. After the image has been converted into drawing objects, you can add and delete objects and make other changes by using the tools on the Drawing toolbar." This option can be found by progressing through the links, in Help, associated with the "ungroup and modify clipart" information. |
|||
| 2. | Also,
see Course Resources for PowerPoint information and tutorials. http://www.bsu.edu/web/rlshackelfor/itedu/Resources.htm |
|||
| 3. | Or
use
this portion of the Acadiau PowerPoint Tutorial to help you modify your
PowerPoint Clipart. The purpose of the tutorial is to create an
image as part of a master slide. However, the same ungrouping and
grouping techniques will not only let you delete portions of the clipart but
will also let you change fill and line colors. http://aitt.acadiau.ca/tutorials/PowerPoint2000/PowerPointPointers/ index.htm Or examine the
tutorials found in elementk. |
|||
| (c) | Pictures
from the WWW (e.g., images or pictures copied from the WWW).
Be sure to give proper current APA citations for these images, pictures, or other slide resources in a small font under each image or in the lower right hand corner of the slide. If you need assistance in performing this task, the following ideas or sources of information will help. |
|||
| 1. | Use the "Help"
icon in Netscape to give you access to Nethelp - Netscape. Then use the
"Contents" or " Index" to find information on
"saving images" or "saving a page". Note: "To save an image from a page: (a) Right-click on the image (on Mac OS, press and hold the mouse button) to display a pop-up menu; and (b) Choose Save Image As", give the image a name, and save the image to your desktop or disk for later insertion. Or, use copy and paste. |
|||
| 2. | The
"Help" icon in Microsoft Internet Explorer can also be used to give you access to
"Contents" or " Index" to find information on
"saving pictures or text from a Web page. Note: To save or copy an image from Internet Explorer (on a PC) "Right-click on the picture or image you want to save and then click Save Target As". Give the image a name and save the image to your desktop or disk for later insertion. |
|||
| 3. | Part
Ten of this Acadiau Tutorial will also show you how to copy and insert Internet
pictures. http://aitt.acadiau.ca/tutorials/PowerPoint97/part10/index.htm or |
|||
| (d) | Scanned
digital data/pictures. If you need assistance in performing this task, the following idea or source of information will help. |
|||
| 1. | In PowerPoint use the "Help" icon to give you access to Microsoft PowerPoint Help. Then use the "Contents", Answer Wizard, or Index to find information on topics such as "insert a picture". | |||
| (e) | Templates can be used but are not a requirement. If a template is used consider using a template with limited or no background color. This enhances visibility and use less ink that is required to print large quantities of background color. | |||
| (7) | Print copies of the overheads onto appropriate transparency film for your Ink Jet Printer. Follow the instructions that came with the film. | |||
| (8) | Using the overhead transparencies, present your lesson to the identified audience. | |||
| (9) | Modify your overheads, as needed, based upon feedback received during the lesson. Reprint the transparencies if needed. | |||
| (10) | Print
two color copies of the handout pages (three per page) of your overhead
transparencies. One copy is to be element labeled
(e.g., element labeled handout pages are labeled with the location of all required
overhead elements/techniques labeled --
e.g., modified clipart, www pictures, scanned digital image/picture,
etc.). You are element to label one set of the handout pages by
physically writing on them to show the location of the
required element or technique. Each element or technique needs to be
labeled only once -- not each time it was used. |
|||
| (11) |
Submit all materials for assessment by the assigned date. |
|||
| (12) | If, after reading the Assignment and reviewing the Assessment Form, you have any questions about the assignment or the location of additional sources of information on PowerPoint, I encourage you to discuss these points or needs with others in the class. | |||
|
|
||||
| Submit: | Submit the following materials for assessment and feedback. Be sure to put your name on each paper to be submitted. I recommend that this be placed in the document's header or footer. | |||
| (1) | One copy of the element labeled handout pages. (The second copy is for your records.) | |||
