Hinweis der Redaktion
- Announcing a class presentation often gets this reaction. Sorry, kids. Hiding under your desk is not going to get you out of doing it. There are always some kids in our classes who want to hide under their desks at the mere mention of having to create a presentation. Why is this? Is it because it’s too difficult? Because it’s time-consuming? Because they don’t like the program? Is it all of the above? So, what do we do as educators about this fear of theirs and perhaps ours as well? (1 minute)
- There is a lot we are required to do as teachers. We wear so many hats that our minds spin sometimes. We have to plan, teach, grade, parent, discipline, comfort, and sleep (if that option is even possible). But do we also HAVE to use technology for presentations in the classroom? The answer is no, of course not. The question I ask you is this…Why Not? (1 minute)
- There are so many reasons, some more apparent than others. First, it is a great tool to assess and evaluate what a student has learned in a way that promotes student creativity as opposed to the boring test or worksheet. By having our students create instead of regurgitate also gives them access to learning the much needed 21st century skills. Although perhaps not as apparent, though, it that we are meeting a vast number of SOLs that have now become the focus of our jobs. (1 minute)
- Diversifying instruction is another one of our responsibilities as educators. In order to reach every child where they learn and function best, it is crucial to modify everything we have in the classroom. Whoever said that one-size-fits all was NOT referring to students and learning styles. The same can be said for how they work and create. So how do we do that with presentations? We need to provide options to all our students as we do with our instruction by allowing them to pick the presentation tool that best fits their needs in all aspects. (1 minute)
- Let’s take a minute to watch a short clip by fellow educator, Clay Reisler regarding student options. (pause for video). This is one way we can give students ownership over their work. We can also have them evaluate multiple different presentation tools and have them select PERSONALLY which one works best for them. We need to give them the freedom to make this choice of which to use. (2 minutes)
- We need to get away from the one size fits all mentality in all facets of our classrooms. Why do we make them use the ones WE are familiar with? We need to get away from that one-size-fits all mentality in this medium , too. Shouldn’t we present them with options? Let’s examine the potential presentation alternatives listed above. Haiku Deck, Emaze, Google Slides, and Blendspace. (1 minute)
- Out of curiosity, I’d like to see who partial to what. Take a minute and go to Kahoot.it. Once you’re there, type in the Game Pin to join. ( 3 minutes)
- Looking at the results (depends on results of survey...either we are diverse OR we need more diversification). In order to get a job done well, the toolbox has to have multiple tools. We, too, need to provide multiple ones to our differentiated students for THEM to build and create most successfully. O.k...enough of the lecture of WHY we need them all, let’s learn about them so you can make an informed decision on just how simple it is to add them to the repertoire. All are, for the most part, free at least for a trial period; however, to get the upgraded versions you have to pay. No surprise there, right? Nonetheless, the for the most part the free versions provide enough bells and whistles for students to still create professional-looking slideshows. (2 minutes)
- So, with every program, there are positives and negatives. The same goes for Haiku Deck. With this tool you are given a pretty vast theme selection, pre-formatted slides that require students to just drag and drop anything they want included in the slide. One feature that I like but that may be a bit challenging is that there is limited space for text. The plus here is that students won’t write out their entire script and read from their slides. (1 minute)
- Although the limited text space can be a pro, it t may cause some challenge for students to be so concise in their wording. This may lead to frustrations, especially for struggling writers. The formatting restrictions can in some circumstances be restricting. For the creative, artistic students this would definitely limit their creative freedom due to the constraints. There also aren’t any slide transition options on the free version, so again it may be a bit boring or limiting. All things considered, I think Haiku Deck is a great tool for the student who struggles with digital projects. It really helps create a professional-looking project, especially for those lacking artistic vision, much like me (insert laughter - lol). (2 minutes)
- Senior students are approaching their professional and college journeys. Having so many talented artists at my high school that are applying to colleges for art and have to submit their portfolios digitally, I easily see them using this tool. It is a quick and user-friendly way to insert their images onto slides, type in the artwork title and medium, and to share it with their college of choice. (1 minute)
- Students running for class office, SCA, or homecoming or prom king or queen typically write speeches or plead with classmates to vote for them. Many schools have a “news” based t.v. program where these pleas are made. For those that do, this tool would be VERY effective to accompany the speech, highlighting the reasons they should be elected. For student who are absent the day it was aired, they could easily upload the slideshow to the school’s academic interface. (1 minute)
- In English, students are required to be able to identify and explain literary devices in literature. By college, it should be a walk in the park. Using this slideshow, they can present their knowledge. All they have to do is find the devices the devices in a literary-rich poem, insert an image that depicts, and name the device. In their presentation, they will explain further. (1 minute)
- As is the majority of these tools, Emaze is a cloud-based program that can be accessed from anywhere. Like Haiku Deck, there are pre-designed themes and templates, but these are much more diverse; this opens more doors and is less limiting to curriculum and students. This program allows for easy media and video embedding and gives the option for music background. Emaze takes presenting to a different level of 21st century skill implementation. ( 1 minute)
- In presentations, it is best to use Sans Serif fonts; however, this program does not give you the option to change them; they are pre-set by selected theme. You also aren’t able to change or turn off slide transitions and they can, at times, move too quickly. There is little control of this feature. Sometimes, less is more and in this program the MORE can at times be way too overwhelming for students. The biggest drawback to this software, though, is that it’s only free for the 14 day trial. You could technically complete a project and present it in this time-frame if your school can’t purchase, but it is limiting. (1 minute)
- This is one program that speaks for itself. I really couldn’t do it justice, so let’s take a quick look at this instructional video of its options. As you can see, there lots of possibilities for implementation of this program to see if it’s worth the cost. (After Video) - I suggest you play with it, now, to see if it’s one you want to convince administration to purchase for your school’s students. (3 minutes)
- If you ARE able to persuade for this program, the possibilities for use are endless. 12th grade government classes could use the newspaper template for weekly current events instead of simply typing them. English classes could attack the persuasive writing SOL requirement by incorporating their persuasion into a news article from the magazine or newspaper template. With the option to add instructional video, students in technical education could take the role of teacher, showing and teaching what they learned of their skill or trade to others. (1 minute)
- Blendspace is one of those tools that although seemingly complex is quite simple to use. It is a multi-media platform containing easy to find resources. The drag and drop feature is always a favorite. You can easily move your slides and can see them all side-by-side which is easier to view and organize spatially. The best feature of it is that it is collaborative, so it’s a great tool for group projects as well as independent ones. ( 1 minute)
- There doesn’t appear to be much regarding theme options; the slides are basically blank. There are also no transition or animation options. This program isn’t really suited for the less creative student student to make the presentation pop. At times, the program can also be a bit glitchy, especially regarding moving text and arranging images. (1 minute)
- This program is more suited to multi media style, group project. Not only are you able to type text in Blendspace, but with ease you can also share and upload video, images, and documents from the same page. Here’s a little sample that I was playing around with creating that I thought I’d share with you. Look at the screen to see how user-friendly the creation page is. Arrow #1 points to the share button so students can work collaboratively on the same assignment in real time. Arrow #2 points to a search feature. Here, you can look up information from the TES Resource bank. Arrow #3 points to a toolbar that you can use to smoothly search for already created documents in your drive, on YouTube, in Google, etc. The best part of all this is that it is all done from the same page and is all drag and drop. (2 minutes)
- Even though this can be used for independent projects, I find it a more effective tool for group projects. Students in any lab class can include images, step-by-step procedures or videos of the lab, and results in multiple media forms all in the same presentation. Research can be done collaboratively including written work with parenthetical citation mixed with images and video. It would make for a much more interesting product than a paper. In foreign language classes students can write in the language, show translation tools, provide video of the country’s highlights, and present indigenous images again all in one place. Pretty cool, huh? (2 minutes)
- Prezi is one of the few “outside the box” presentation tools. It’s unique and the look is non-linear. Animated images don’t just slide from side to side, nor are the all square. Everything, including text and images, can move across the screen in engaging, non-traditional ways. Even though non-traditional, media and video can still be imbedded in the presentation, too. Although I’ve found it a bit tricky to do, students CAN work on Prezis collaboratively, too. With all the motion of this presentation tool, though, I would recommend that it be students who work well together in non-confrontational ways. (1 minute)
- If you are prone to getting sick on that boat or in a car, you may not want to encourage Prezi. There can be so much motion that it can honestly make one ill. I’ve never hear of a driver having this happen, and the same goes for the creator; it’s just those who are viewing who may suffer. The animations can also be quite distracting, so encourage students to be mindful of this in their creations. Aside from this, the only other drawback I found from this tool is there is limited font and color, but this can be worked around and is a minor con in my opinion. (1 minute)
- Look at this blank prezi template example; it gives you an idea of what a Prezi presentation may look like. (Pause for video) A lot of students would enjoy the unique style and difference of this presentation tool. (2 minutes)
- As with all the software we’ve reviewed, there are so many uses for each one. Prezi is no different. It may be used like Blendspace as an individual or group tool for a Health research project, investigating and going more in depth about illness or disease. School clubs could use it to highlight what they do OR to convince potential members why they should join. It would also make interesting what may be a boring Statistics class collected data project more exciting. The possibilities are endless with all of these tools! It is not our job to assign the one to use, though, because it’s what WE like, but it’s to give students alternatives that best fit their needs. (2 minutes)
- I know we’re familiar with the SOLs for our area of concentration. Here’s the thing. Presentations don’t only meet that ONE SOL for an ENGLISH only content, but there are a plethora of technology SOLs required by the state, too. Look at all those above that are met by having students select and use their own presentation tools. Even though every county provides different technology access, we still have a responsibility to weave it somehow into our curriculum. It’s also our duty to meet all of our students learning styles and needs. Pretty cool that ONE project can meet both requirements at once by providing these presentation tool options to students. (1 minute)
- With choice, we can implement and help all students discover their 21st Century selves. (10 seconds)
- Isn’t this the reaction we want? Go get ‘em, rockstars! (10 seconds)
