Ms. Moore - Maggie
Teacher: Ms. Moore (Arts Department)
Subject: Grade 10 English
Resource Used: Microsoft PowerPoint & SMART Notebook 11
Description:
Ms. Moore was interested in incorporating technology, particularly the SMART Board technology, into her grade 10 English class.
The first task was to obtain an online version of Twelfth Night, so it could be projected onto the SMART Board for the entire class to view during class discussions. I was able to find a PDF version of the play to satisfy this requirement.
Ms. Moore also requested for lessons to be created based on the Shakespeare unit. These lessons would incorporate the resources that she had previously gathered for Twelfth Night. Depending on the content, I either created activities on SMART Notebook 11 or PowerPoint lessons. For resources that included play content such as quotes and questions, I transferred the content from paper onto the SMART Notebook 11. For resources that involved teaching a new concept, I prepared a PowerPoint presentation. Along with these PowerPoints, I also gathered information to create a PowerPoint about Shakespeare as an introduction for this unit.
For my final meeting with Ms. Moore, I will transfer all the SMART Notebook 11 files, the PowerPoints as well as the PDF version of this play to Ms. Moore's drive. Since Ms. Moore did not have any previous experience with the SMART Notebook 11 technology, I will also show her how to use the SMART Board. By helping Ms. Moore, she will know how to use the SMART Board to create and revise lessons on the SMART Notebook 11 technology.
For the most part, this placement involved preparing lessons either on SMART Notebook 11 or Microsoft PowerPoint. This provided me with an opportunity to think from the perspective of a teacher in order to ensure the lessons created would be informative and interesting.
Applications to Other Subjects:
SMART Notebook 11: This technology is used by most teachers. The lessons taught using the SMART Board are more effective as it provides more functions than a chalkboard. By having the basic knowledge for the functions of the SMART Board, I will be able to offer suggestions for improvement and help teach the teachers that may not be very familiar with the technology.
PowerPoints: The process of creating PowerPoints can be applied to many subjects. These PowerPoints should be informative, concise and visually appealing. When creating these PowerPoints, I made sure to meet these requirements so that the message is delivered with clarity and precision.
