For my SEDU 183 class we had to create a non direct instruction powerpoint, so something more interactive. I think I was a tad bit too adventurous going into this project. In the beginning I wanted to teach a pre school setting in Italy, similar to a Reggio Emelia classroom. I looked for standards Italy had and I couldn't find any, I asked a professor who had toured the school but she said she didn't know of any, and said the education system there is very different. I then chose to do Kindergarten in Pennsylvania, and use the PA early learning standards found on this pdf ... Pa early learning standards - Kindergarten from the PA keys website. Realizing most kindergartners can't read, I tried using voice add ins to my power point but failed at every attempt. I asked three friends who also own macs who are experienced with garage band and still didn't know how to add voice clips to Key Point presentations unfortunately. Other than the fact that I failed at adding voice clips, I am very pleased with the lesson. It seems like it would be interesting and fun if I was in kindergarten, and somewhat enriching. All in all, I thought it was enjoyable, and interesting. I was discouraged however after seeing the other people's projects. I guess not knowing ANYTHING about key note really hindered my abilities. It just didn't seem as fancy or intriguing as everyone elses..but I'm still proud of my work. Here is a website about the book included in my lesson. Action Jackson Book also, here is the website I included in my powerpoint that lets you create a picture like the works of Jackson Pollock with your mouse, Jackson Pollock Painting <-- This one is REALLY cool I recommend trying it out. :)
