What I learned regarding media choices, is to make sure it aligns with your teaching goals for the students. The 10/20/30 ruse for powerpoint presentations is good to know when creating this type of media education for students to keep them engaged and interested in the main points of the lesson.
I would like to learn how to make my Power Point presentations more efficient as I lecture to my students.
I like using PowerPoint, but I seem to be cramming too much information into one presentation. I will need to start mixing it up.
The main reason why demonstration teaching work is students are to learn the process and apply the process or what they have learned. Students see the application of the course content they have been studying. Demonstrations give students the steps that they need to follow to perform a task. Student attention and focus are increased because the students will soon be performing the steps themselves.
I enjoyed learning about our senses and how they apply to our learning. Students learn 60-80% of new material when they use at least two of their senses. I plan on using this technique with my students during their theory portion. Example: a powerpoint with color and graphics while verbally discussing the content. Hence, visual and auditory.
I've never heard of the 10/20/30 PowerPoint rule - but I was doing it naturally. There are nice nuggets of information in these modules.
I learned the 10-20-30 Power Point rule as well as only presenting 3-5 main points per slide.
Using multiple sense when sharing information and instructing students will increase student ability to retain information
The 10-20-30 rule for power points will help create PowerPoint presentations for my upcoming class.
Use no more than 10 slides for 20 minutes with a font at no less than 30 points. This rule will help your PowerPoint presentations to be effective and well received by your students.
I had never heard of the 10-20-30 rule and will implement that into PP. Also, utilizing different media sources to keep the attention of students and not rely on only PP or one type of media.
The 10/20/30 rule for the PP was new and interesting to me. Will try to incorporate more use of the Flip charts during open discussions or problem solving topics.
Powerpoints and other presentation must be created intentionally in order to yield an effective response from learners.
I need to be a neat writer and illustrator... This skill set I have not mastered! I was terrible at Pictionary... PowerPoint is an effective tool to catch their eye and to stay focused on the material within the slides.
Powerpoint is one of the primary mediums instructors are able to use in order to summarize a large amount of content into a platform that is able to be discussed. Powerpoints can be powerful however if done incorrectly they can push student engagement further away which is bad. 10-20-30 seems helpful and I will strive to make my powerpoints shorter.
