Excellent Presentation Example
Posted by: technotes in Student Sample Work, tags: ED 451, presentation, student sampleOur School of Education does several excellent things; one of them is to require students to make presentations. In any given semester, students enrolled in 4 courses will be required to make between 4 to 12 presentations. Whew! By the time they graduate from SoE, they will have become comfortable making statements, defining problems and solutions and creating demonstrations in front of peers and faculty. It is a nice bonus to add to their resume – a relaxed public speaking demeanor.
In the required course, ED 451 – Audio and Video Education – students are required to discuss their ePortfolios (or the making thereof) in a 5-minute, end-of-the-semester presentation. The objective is to allow students to demonstrate their prowess with technology by selecting specific assignments (artifacts) to showcase in a concise manner. The assignment requires that the students be selective about their choices. The ePortfolio is created online and submitted for grading; the physical presentation file, however, is not required for submission. One student decided to use her newly-created class BLOG in which to showcase her presentation.
Take a look at the final presentation for Patti Rodriguez. Not only is it creative, but she actually delivered this presentation in 5 minutes.

I encourage you to give her feedback on her efforts to continually upgrade her technology skills. If you have a GMAIL account, please leave her a message by clicking on the “Post a comment” button. She deserves a pat on the back.

When I see all of these excellent examples that Dr. Cyrus steers us to I am a little intimidated. I just do not have an artistic mind. I can slap something together but it does not flow very smoothly. I alway wonder how long it took the students to produce there final excellent product. I like what computers can do but I also like to be outside and do physical things. Home video games and computers did not come out until I was driving and then certainly had better thing to do than stay inside at home.

Some students struggle with their projects and others have natural talent and lots of imagination. This student is naturally talented. She was also in a class with several other ‘eager beavers’ who might have helped her to “push the envelope” a bit.
