PechaKucha

     For this presentation I actually took a PowerPoint I created for another presentation and adapted it slightly.  I added a few slides to help illustrate items better.  I also inserted lines with arrows to help show how the parts would move. 
     I coach football in the fall and this coming year I will be at a new high school.  One of the positions I was hoping to fill on this new staff was that of Special Teams Coordinator.  We met as a staff and I had to present the ideas with explanation of what I was wanting to do.  Explaining and showing was the easy part but then you have to defend what you are wanting to do to a wide variety of scenarios that you probably will not see come game time.  The better job you do at explaining the less defending you have to do because the other people will have the answers they want or they won't see fault with the plan.  Presenting this PechaKucha style would have helped me explain better because I would not have let myself get long winded or over emphasis something that didn't need it.  For this presentation you will notice I did not use any images what so ever, these are slides that I have created from using shapes in PowerPoint.

 

 

 



     By utilizing a previously used PowerPoint and editing it slightly I found it very easy to save it as a .jpeg and then transfer it into Photo Story.  I had never used Photo Story before and was apprehensive to it however I found the controls to be very easy and the navigation was very straight forward.

     As for NETS*S I feel that we have utilized the following

1. Facilitate and Inspire Student Learning and Creativity
      A. Promote, support, and model creative and innovative thinking and inventiveness
      C. Promote student reflection using collaborative tools to reveal and clarify students' conceptual understanding and thinking, planning, and creative processes
             PowerPoint is something we all are familiar with for the most part as well as our students in our classes.  By using PowerPoint as a base and then converting it to Photo Story we are allowing students to place their thoughts with what lead them to create what we are seeing, placing it on YouTube allows us to view it and give reflection to the student.

2. Design and Develop Digital-Age Learning Experiences and Assessments
      A. Design or adapt relevant learning experiences that incorporate digital tools and resources to promote student learning and creativity.
