Project #6: Educational Applications of PowerPoint
- A Joint Project for EDU314, EDU374 & EDU375

Please refer to Week 10 Class Scheduel

What?

Create a PowerPoint Presentation, link it to your ePortfolio and publish it. 

This is a joint project with Dr. White's EDU 374 Science Project: A Virtual Field Trip to an Exotic Resort ; or

Dr. Kimberly Rombach's EDU375 Social Science Virtual Field Trip Project.

You are expected to finish a PowerPoint project that meets the requirements for both courses. For EDU314, completion of Project #6 means publication of the project in your ePortfolio and sending the link of this project to your Social Studies and/or Science course instructors.

Why?

To improve your PowerPoint skills so that you can use PowerPoint skillfully to address an educational concern while teaching in your own classroom. The idea of Educational concern should be taken very broadly, that is, it can be anything you might do that would have a defensible direct or indirect impact on student learning. 

Project Ideas

Week 10 provides you with lots of project ideas. You are expected to come up with your own project ideas for this project. The project needs to be related to your own classroom teaching. You may also want to use this project, or, a variation of it, with other teachers, with parents or students, or perhaps with the school board or community.

Evaluation
