The really cool thing about educational technology courses, to me, is the amount of content that can be taught/learned in each lesson. For example, students in ED 510 just completed a module covering digital presentations. In this module, not only did they learn to create a presentation, they learned so much more -
For example, in the Digital Storytelling Presentation featured below, the student learned:
- Digital design best practices (how to effectively design a presentation)
- Presentation best practices (how to effectively deliver the presentation - voice, tone, engaging the audience)
- How to use Prezi
- How to use lecture capture software
- How to upload a presentation to server space
- How to generate a public URL for publishing the video
- Creativity - in the design process
- Information processing skills - this particular student learned about teaching/learning using “digital storytelling”
- How to gather information
- Organize the information
- Present findings
