Have you created slide presentations for instruction in the past? Yes, of course we all have. However, how many of your slide presentations were teacher-centered? Meaning, that your slide presentations were filled with information and maybe some cool images, but for the most part provided information to your students. This way of creating slides in an online setting and even in an in person setting reducing learner engagement significantly.
Why not change how you think about creating slide presentations forever? This very short course will instruct you on how you can create interactive slide presentations on your favorite presentation platform. Not only that, but you will be able to review a model interactive slide presentation and evaluate your slide presentation against your state’s teacher evaluation rubric.
Interactive instructional slides will enhance the learning experience of your learners as well as support a culturally responsive learning environment. A culturally responsive learning environment (in-person or remote) creates a welcoming space where learners are comfortable with taking educational risks. A culturally responsive learning environment also affirms students’ identities making instruction more student-centered rather than teacher-entered. Yes, this is possible with how you, as the teacher, design your slide presentation for interactive learning.
No longer will your slides be teacher-centered – focused on providing information with no input form your learners; your newly gained knowledge and skills will increase your instructional productivity, enhance your learners interactivity with content and set you a part in your organization.
