- I will evaluate my presentation.
- I will discuss how this project may be used in my classroom.
- I find it rather funny because I practiced this presentation numerous times on my own to get it on camera a few years ago.
- It seemed to come out easily when I gave it one more time this December. I think that teaching as well as performing speeches and presentations over the last couple years has made it much much much easier to do so now.
- The presentations seemed readily understandable as I focused on the heart of the matter, not wandering from this topic to that one but instead following a logical, organized set of ideas based on this particular project.
- Finally, the presentation came out very clearly in terms of speech.
- However, I did notice one tick, which sometimes can make a presentation interesting, and sometimes it can get in the way. I tended to make a alveolar click sound, that is, the tsk tsk tsk sound we make toward children in trouble or to horses to giddy up.
2. Project for Classroom
- First of all, in a class I taught I would make sure that the project fell within my content standards, which it most certainly would. However, I would need to clarify, at least within my own teacher's mind, the objectives of the project.
- Along with this, I also try to make it a point to explain this connection to my students, especially when we work on projects. On the technical technological side, I think that it would be important to create a working rubric and to make it clear the outcomes of the project beforehand, also clarifying the timeline of such a project.
- Also, I believe that I would need to prepare a more thorough project of my own and present it to my students as an example to strive for.
- Finally, I would probably provide a bunch of ideas, perhaps going through a brainstorming session with the class, of possible projects to work on. I find that choosing a project and getting started the most challenging for myself and for other students.
