Things to Consider Before Presenting

3.  When creating instructional multimedia for your
classroom, class size is very important to consider.
 If you are presenting to young children (PreK-2nd), it
is best to present to a small group of students.
◦ Students will be able to maintain focus better as there will
be less distraction around them.
◦ Would recommend a group size of between 10-12 children.
 If you are presenting to older children (2nd and up),
the group size is not as important and you can
present to a larger group of students.
◦ Children at this age are more mature and can maintain
focus better.

4.  When creating your instructional multimedia lesson,
the age of the children you are instructing is
important in your lesson development.
◦ If you are presenting to young children (PreK-2nd):
 Make sure the lesson is full of many visual stimuli to keep
them interested and engaged.
 Since many of them are still learning how to read, make sure
the font is large and easy to read for beginning readers.
 Make sure lesson has good stopping points incase children
have questions or comments to add to the lesson or use if
children need a “brain break” to regain focus.
◦ If you are presenting to older children (2nd and up):
 Make sure lesson has good stopping points incase children
have questions or comments to add to the lesson.

5.  The setting of your presentation is also very important to
think about while creating your instructional multimedia
lesson.
 Consider what your presentation will be presented on:
◦ Smart Board
 Presentation in a slightly dark room is best. If the room is too dark,
the children could trip while coming up to the board to interact with
it.
◦ Projector
 Presentation is best in a very dark room with a large projection
screen and a projector that does not too high in front of the screen.
◦ If this is a problem, have the children sit on either side of the projector
and monitor.
◦ Desktop/laptop computer
 Small groups are best if presentation will take place on a desktop or
laptop computer.

6.  When creating your lesson, consider what the
purpose of multimedia is in your lesson.
◦ If you are creating a lesson that the children need to
interact with, it is a good idea to present it on a Smart
Board.
◦ If you are creating a lesson that the teacher presents with
no student interaction, a projection screen is best.
