TIP: Nonlinear PowerPoint


.
       
  Objective: Create a Non- linear PowerPoint- Create an assessment tool using PowerPoint that can be used in the classroom as a learning tool for students and a form of assessment for teachers. The finished product should relate to a Virginia Department of Education Standard of Learning.

VA SOL Addressed: I've used PowerPoint to create a quiz about Shapes as an assisted English activity in order to help Kindergarten students to use shapes correctly. The target teaching standard is English, Kindergarten, K2. d) Use words to describe/name location, size, color, and shape

How would I use this Non-Linear PowerPoint in my classroom?
The main purpose of this PowerPoint is to assess students' remember skills during my unit. This can be a formative assessment taken right after our lesson shapes. Even though the purpose of the lesson is just to remember and be able to identify shapes, I would also like them to remember the correct shapes and can use them in real life. I would have each student go through this PowerPoint as a test in this unit.

How does this relate to Universal Design For Learning and Inquiry-Based Learning?
The Non- Linear PowerPoint supports UDL  because it is a flexible learning tool that can appeal to many learners, especially visual learners. For example, students that don't feel comfortable writing can take this assessment on the computer without having to write anything down.  If a student, is having trouble reading, I can install sound into my PowerPoint and students can listen. This PowerPoint supports inquiry-based learning because it allows students to be engaged while answering questions about the shapes. It allows students to think about questions and answer them.

  1. This looks like good practice in a very friendly-looking design. I like your idea of integrating sound - that would be very helpful for your young learners
