Subject : Student Presentation

This area of the activity encourages development of skills in the use of technology, developing students understanding of the processes involved in presenting work( produced from an original text) using technology as a presentation format. This project encourages student participation, collaboration and develops an understanding of the processes and technology involved in presenting multimedia presentations. Students are encouraged to engage in group participation and also in independent thought and learning techniques to obtain the required authentic learning outcomes. This process involves authentic context, as it encourages motivation and purpose for learning. This task is also authentic as it encourages production of knowledge over a period of time.

The Process : After developing the interpretation and adaptation of the text they have read, it is converted into a presentation ,students are required to rehearse their work and speaking parts. This is then recorded in class, by the students. This is to be recorded onto an I-phone or a digital handy-cam recorder. Students will have previously practiced this process during class, using this technology as a group and therefore would be able to carry out this task by themselves, working together if problems should arise. Copies could be made of the original presentation so that family and friends can see the performance .Allowing for viewing of student learning and academic achievement that would otherwise not be witnessed by parents and family. A copy of the work would also be uploaded to a class face-book page for viewing by authorized peoples, including other students and schools, interstate and even around the world. An instructional link and copy of the process and completed works could be uploaded to teacher-tube, allowing other teachers and students to view the completed performance and step by step process. This would enable other students and teachers to not only learn from the process followed by that particular class, but to enhance and develop the process further. This encourages development of further skills, allowing other students to make changes and adapt to suit their techniques in relation to their specific needs and outcomes.
