WORKING WITH POWER POINT: LEVEL 1

AM I DOOMED?:

“The most boring [post-secondary] teaching

methods were found to be laboratory work,

computer sessions and copying lecture notes

whilst the most significant contributor to

lecture boredom in terms of teach method is

the use of PowerPoint (without a handout)…” From Mann, S., & Robinson, A. (April 2009). “Boredom in the lecture theatre: an investigation in

the contributors, moderators and outcomes of boredom amongst university students”. British

Educational Research Journal, 35 (2), p. 256. [Colour & italics added by me.]

HOW NOT TO USE POWER POINT

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cagxPlVqrtM


2009)


WHY POWER POINT:

Today’s “transparency”—expected

Easily edited & shared w/ colleagues

Easily re-versioned, stored & searched

Can incorporate text w/ images, sound, video for better cognition & recall

Used in student presentations, jobs, etc.

Can be shared prior to class to focus F2F activities Can be used IN PLACE of lecture

Demonstrates your professional competency using technology

OVERALL GOALS FOR THIS SESSION:

This session is about YOU.

Everyone is at a different point in their learning.

If you know the basics, feel free to explore & play. If you need to learn the basics, stick close to the activities outlined.

Your classmates will likely be spending time on exploring aspects different from yours. This is fine.

Your goal is to learn more than you knew before coming here—NOT to learn everything about Power Point—or even everything in this session during this time.

DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS

BEST PRACTICES 1

Slides must be LEGIBLE 16pt+ w/ rare

exceptions

Consistent design/theme, fonts in slides

Consistent styles of images

Images & media support immediate content

in slide

Most Westerners read L R, T B layout

Pare down to key words unless a key quote


2009)

BEST PRACTICES 2

Watch “How Not to Use Power Point” http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cagxPlVqrtM

Provide handouts

Include time for hands on real work, discussions, etc.

Provide the actual electronic PPT—or version—when possible

Don’t just read slides—add value

Talk to your audience not the slides-make eye contact

Use clicker when possible

Keep content doable in a session

Align assessments w/instruction techJulia Hengstler PPT Level 1(August
