Planning My Project - Activity 5

Creating a Presentation About My Project

  35 minutes

During this activity, you create a presentation about your project to share with your colleagues. Included in your presentation is your Project Summary which you will write during this activity, your targeted assessment standards, Curriculum-Framing Questions, and assessment timeline. You share this Project Portfolio presentation, along with your assessment to gauge learner needs, at the beginning of Module 3: Making Connections.

Step 2: Creating an Outline for My Project Presentation

The outline feature in a presentation application helps a user focus on and quickly enter key concepts that need to be communicated in a presentation. Similarly, this strategy can be used to help learners focus on content, rather than design features. Outlining a presentation before adding visuals, animations, and sounds helps to ensure that the focus is on the content. Use the Help Guide if you need assistance in completing any ICT skills identified below. Create your presentation to synthesize the important points about your project. You will expand on the points as you present your project.

Classroom Tip Classroom Tip: A multimedia slideshow accompanied by an oral presentation is an effective tool for sharing projects and other complex ideas with others. Teachers as well as learners can use presentations in a variety of ways in their school and personal lives.

Note Note: Remember that effective multimedia presentations condense ideas that are elaborated on in oral presentations.

  1. Start the presentation software. (See Multimedia Skill 1.1.)

  2. Create an outline in the Outline pane to help you organize your thoughts and focus on the presentation content. (See Multimedia Skills 2.2 and 5.1.)

    Classroom Tip Classroom Tip: You may want to require your learners to use the Outline pane to enter their content before they add any design elements to their presentations.

  3. Create slides to guide your presentation about initial ideas for your Project Plan, such as:

    • Project summary
    • Vision of what you hope to accomplish in the project, both for yourself and for your learners
    • How the gauging learner needs assessment will help you and your learners plan for upcoming activities in the project
    • Other information, such as your Curriculum-Framing Questions, that would help your group members support you as you develop your project

  4. Add a slide to summarize your gauging learner needs assessment:

    • What do you want to learn from your learners?
    • How will the assessment information help you and your learners plan for upcoming activities in the project?
    • What feedback or additional ideas would you like?

  5. Save Save your presentation frequently in the project_plan folder in your Portfolio folder. (See Multimedia Skill 1.9.)

  6. When you finish outlining your presentation, work in the slide view of your
    presentation so that you can change the look of your slides. (See Multimedia Skill 2.3.)
