CREATE AN INTERACTIVE SCIENCE POWERPOINT FOR CLASSROOM INSTRUCTION

Using ADDIE to

ADDIE Model systematic instructional design model consisting of five phases:

Analysis Phase Design Phase Development Phase Implementation Phase Evaluation Phase

-My first step was to create an ADDIE Proposed Instructional Design Plan

-Next create PowerPoint layout and verbiage

- Then find appropriate video, download the video clips in to a folder andinsert in to the slides

Needs Analysis: Students in our ISD have scored low

during the past two years on the State MI-Access Supported Independent and Functional Behavior Assessments in the content area of Science.

To meet this need I developed an unit on Simple Machines to address benchmarks in physical science.

This PowerPoint is at the beginning of the unit.

Student Categorical Definitions My classroom consists of up to six students (grades 5th through 8th )

who have Autism Spectrum Disorders and function as though they are

Mild to Moderately Impaired.

These students may have difficulty in abstract reasoning; math, reading

and writing symbols; difficulty seeing cause and effect relationships;

trouble transferring knowledge from one setting to another. (Macomb School District)

Many of my students also have limited language abilities.

Students tend to score in an I.Q. range of

40–54 - Moderate Cognitive Impairments

55–69 - Mild Cognitive Impairments

Content Analysis

Content to be learned: Students will connect to prior knowledge and identify the six types of simple machines

Identify how science relates to the world around them.

Describe the Types of Tasks: Using differentiated instruction (technology with embedded video clips and interactive questions)

to acquire information

and connect new concepts

to the world around them.

Task Analysis

Design

Objectives and Extended Benchmarks: Students will identify six different simple

machines (lever, pulley, inclined plane, wedge, screw, wheel and axle)

State Standards: P.MO.FI.EB.IV.3.m.2a - Identify forces (push/pull) that speed up, slow down, stop, or change the direction of a moving object.

R.RO.FI.EB.II.1.m.3a - Identify how science relates to the world around them.

Design

Description of Instructional Resource:

Interactive PowerPoint with embedded video resources, clipart

and audio. I made use of color, sound and movement to help

keep students on task. Highlighting key points helping to guide

their learning and tag information.

Description of Resources:

Discovery Education Video Streaming and Microsoft PowerPoint

Software

Implementation Implementation with Target Audience:

PowerPoint will be on a standalone student computer in the

classroom. Students will take turns with the interactive

PowerPoint.

Implementation/testing during course: Considering the nature of

my classroom, this Unit Introduction PowerPoint will be viewed

by each student in the class. Students will answer questions in

the PowerPoint while staff collects data. Students are then

encouraged to take part in discussions about what they learned.

Method for collecting feedback (teacher created worksheets,

discussions and observations). *As a special education teacher of six students with ASD, I use data

collection on a daily basis to collect data on behavior, goal work and

academic achievement.

Evaluation: Formative evaluations (ongoing throughout the unit):

(Teacher created worksheets, discussions and

observations)

Summative evaluations: Feedback acquired from data

collection sheets. After a review of unit, students take

a quiz using accommodations as stated in their IEPs.

Plans for evaluating project: Ask colleagues look at the

materials I have created for my classroom (taking in to

consideration the categorical descriptors of my

students) and provide feedback (in survey format) for

improvement. Feedback from the Summative

evaluations will also guide changes in the unit.
