Pedagogies and PowerPoint How would different followers construct a PowerPoint?
Active Index • A Behaviorist’s PPT Project • A Constructivist’s PPT Project • A Cognitivist’s PPT Project • A Pragmatist’s PPT Project
Explore the capabilities of the program • Review a variety of excellent examples • Set a standard for a finished PPT project based on achieved objectives, for example • Number of slides • Slide design expectations • Number of facts • Number of illustrations • Number of multimedia elements
Create a rubric for grading the PPT, share with students • Display a prototype of an excellent PPT • Train students as needed • Allow workshop until deadline • Collect PPTs • Compare them against the prototype • 90-percent is an A, etc. • Did the behaviorist measure change?
Explore the capabilities of the students • Review a variety of students’ best efforts, using either past PPTs or a simple-topic initial PPT assignment • Determine where each student is in their ability to manipulate PPT • Challenge students to best their personal best • Offer a range for achievement rather than a static finish line • Encourage creativity
Create a rubric for grading the PPT, share with students • Display multiple prototypes of excellent PPTs • Train students as needed • Allow workshop until deadline • Collect PPTs • Compare them against the prototypes • Take into consideration individual progress • Assign ABCDF
Put students into social groups • Select topics that interest them most • Spend a good deal of time on research • Assign a PPT that requires complex organization and navigation • Break the project into chapters • Break those into sub-chapters • Require sidebars • Hyperlinks guide the presentation in non-linear ways
Presenters would be actively involved in the PPT: Much movement, props, audience involvements • Role playing • Cultural elements of the topic are addressed • Presentation ends with Q&A
Find out what needs fixed around campus or in the town • Assign students to solve the problems found with a PowerPoint • Take the PowerPoint on the road and speak in public settings • Subject matter would mean a lot to the pragmatist • Grades would be based on effort and successful change
