Evidence 1:All About Me Presentation

Rationale 1: This presentation was a presentation that every fifth, sixth, seventh, and eighth grader completed this fall as a requirement for technology class. Each class was expected to complete a presentation to a different level of difficulties. Some of the objectives that students were asked to accomplish were: creating slides, changing slide layout, slide transitions, inserting clipart, fontwork, autoshapes, sound clips, and how to present. The presentation was called “All About Me,” allowed students to share information about themselves and they were able to share personal stories while presenting the assignment.

KSD //The Open Office presentation skills were able to be used in any of the student’s subject areas. The students all accomplished the tasks set forth and have continued to practice them since learning the initial skills to keep having them refreshed and developing them as a habit.//
 * 2.K.1 The teacher understands how learning occurs --how students construct knowledge, acquire skills, and develop habits of mind - and how to use instructional strategies that promote student learning for a wide range of students abilities.**

//By having every student develop their own presentation, I allowed for students to be instructed in a mean that recognized their current level of development. Each student could put in the basic requirements or add in extras if they were able to finish the basic requirements. //
 * 2.S.1 The teacher assesses individual and group performance in order to design instruction that meets learners’ current needs in each domain(cognitive, social, emotional, moral, and physical) and that leads to the next level of development.**

//It was very interesting to complete this project at the beginning of the school year, I learned a lot about each of the students and their backgrounds. It also helped me to appreciate each of the students’ diverse learning.//
 * 2.D.1 The teacher appreciates individual variation at each developmental level and shows respect for the diverse talents of all learners, and is committed to help them develop self-confidence and competence.**
