5/19/2016 May 19, 2016We have run into a serious problem in the fact that many students have neglected to complete the various sections of the Global Goals assignment on time and are not ready to present their 2 minute 40 second slide show. On May 18, 7B should have begun presentations but only one student had completed everything and was ready to present. (Open labs have been offered at various times but there have been very few students who have come in to work.) 7B students will need to finish up and be ready to begin presentations on Monday, May 23, as Mrs. Criscuolo has agreed that the presentations can take place during the gym period since we do not have technology class on a Monday.. Students in 7A should have been ready by May 18th as well (see comments on previous post) but the official 7A presentation date will be May 25 in class, with overflow possibly on June 1. I have shared strategies on use of full size images for impact, minimal text, symbolic graphics that will trigger talking points, and the importance of spending time reading about and really understanding the issue being presented. For the citation format at the end of the presentation I not only demonstrated in class but made a video (see previous post). When I mentioned in class that the video was on the tech web page, a student asked, "How do you get to your web page?" So obviously despite my reminders throughout the year what I write here is being ignored by many. Students who have not completed slides 4, 5, 6 as of today have an Incomplete in PowerSchool. I will be reviewing the last slides and the presentation links this weekend and having the shared links ready for the students to click and begin their presentation. If a link is not shared with me via the 009 document there is no way the timed slide show can be presented.
