There are a few reasons why we as teachers need to use appropriate citations. One reason is that we need to set examples for our students. We can't hold them to standards for citations when we don't use citations ourselves. Another thing is that if we site where we got information from, the students could possibly be able to access these sources when they are outside of class. We need to seek permission for copyrighted work for the same reasons. Some of the best sources out there are copyrighted and need proper permission to use them.
There were a few things in the Presentation Zen chapter that I was already aware of. The most common mistakes that are made during PowerPoint presentations are people using too many bullet points for each slide and also how long each point is. Having slides that are very wordy are not only boring, but it also loses the interest of the students and also they won't actually pay attention to the slides and information. I am very aware of how to make good presentations. It is important to have interesting and fun PowerPoints because then the students will look forward to coming to class and taking notes/learning the information. All of the PowerPoints I have made over the years have always been animated and had fun and attention getting backgrounds.
If anyone in interested in the fantastic food of Couscous, I have made a Prezi about it. I has a little history, some basics, and how to make it. ENJOY :)
You just taught me more about Couscous than had learned in my entire life. Nice presentation here.
ReplyDeleteYou might want to add some links to common use websites for photographs for your direct instruction in the future. You'll never know then you'll need them.
It is one of my favorite side dishes to make because it only takes around 7 minutes to make. Very, very simple. Boil water, stir in, wait, fluff. It is as easy as that.
