This assignment to create a Power Point lesson and an interactive quiz was actually quite fun. I enjoyed learning how to utilize all the things that Power Point has to offer because before, I only knew the basics.
To create this presentation, I first decided on a topic that would be fun and straight forward. I already had a lesson plan for Haiku Poetry designed for another class, so pulling facts and ideas was a breeze. Next I decided what facts were necessary for a basic understanding, and how I should word the information in a clear and concise manner. After I had my basic lesson slides, I went back and dressed them up by using clip art, fonts, and colors. I also embedded an instructional YouTube video that will not only serve as interactive media, but it also is very informative and really helps out with the lesson. After my instructional slides were completed, I started in on the quiz, keeping a consistent theme and style. I chose questions based on fact and one that required the use of a skill. I feel that tapping into different learning styles is important in assessing students. Finally, once I created all of my quiz slides and my source slide, I hyperlinked all the slides to the correct and incorrect slides, and added transition effects.
I do feel like I will use this method of presentation and assessment occasionally in my classroom. As for the interactive quiz, I think students would really enjoy it if it was used on special occasions. For example, if they have just written a big paper or had to read a high volume of literature. The process to create the quiz is quite time consuming, but I know I will get faster once I am more comfortable and familiar with this technology!
