Week 5 Reflection - Presentations
Presentations in the Classroom
But..
Through my research in this weeks content I found Adobe Express. This application can be used for free (who doesn’t love free things!)
or you can buy premium access. Adobe Express has numerous features that all can
explore such as:
- - Age-appropriate images from creative commons
sources.
- - Many “how to” tutorials (written and visual).
- - Connection to other media platforms.
- - Privacy data to protect students.
- - Voice recording and video content.
- - GIF creations.
- - Funky and bright presentations templates…..
And many more, check these out here..
When it comes to digital media teachers are required to embed safe, legal, and ethical protocols into teaching, so students understand what content is appropriate and what is not, and the implications for sharing and searching for private content. In previous blogs (week 3 and 4) I have linked safety resources for you to have a look and maybe even share with your class.
Adobe Express has a Privacy Information for Younger Users section which explains in detail the information they use
AND a Student Privacy
page for further information.

Embedding the use of the visual platform Adobe Express into
my students learning and teaching will create another opportunity for them to
share their creative side to express themselves. Encouraging this enriching
idea will support Universal Design for Learning for all students to learn and
share with the class, more information can be found here.
Furthermore, encouraging students to become more socially
responsible and take ownership of their school work through innovation and
creativity can allow a student grow and develop skills for future ICT life skills. And really who does not love a colourful, vibrant, interactive, and
pleasing presentation to watch and listen too??
SAMR...
Substitution - Students and teacher create visually appealing
presentations.
Augmentation - Students and teacher can embed images,
gifs, voice recordings or videos to presentation slides to share with the class.
Modification - Students can complete assessment tasks
using Adobe Express to create interactive presentations. Teachers can also
create engaging presentations to teach curriculum.
Redefinition - Students can publish their own work for
feedback from a larger audience such as peers, another class or school even.
Community projects can be created and shared via presentation with embedding
images, videos, and audio files to show understanding of workshop safety,
drawings and/or future designs.
Really enjoyed this, the use of modern ways of communicating such as GIF's to help with class engagement is a fantastic idea and the more interactive the delivery the better.
ReplyDeleteI really enjoyed your blog post. It was simple, straight to the point and reader led (by directing them to click on the links for more information, instead of listing them yourself), but it was enough that I was genuinely convinced to follow through on the links, especially for Adobe express. It sounds like a great program, I like how you stated there is a free version, and your screenshots were enough to show how it works.
ReplyDeleteI like how you pointed out that the program itself has privacy notices for students and younger users. I didn't realise that these programs would have those specific policies.
You could have said more about how digital presentations can benefit education. That section was a little vague on presentations itself and could have applied to any digital media/ web space application.
Kara, I really enjoyed your blog post. It was inviting, well presented and covered all necessary and important information throughout. The only improvement or comment I have is covering the relation to education a little further, I would have loved to know more about that aspect of things.
ReplyDeleteIt was a very well done vlog Kara.
If you have time could you please comment on mine, thank you !
