Teaching Resources
Student Project Overview The proposal for this
innovative project will include the use of
Learning Essentials fro Microsoft and Zune.
Students will have to use a PowerPoint
presentation from the Learning Essentials package
and include information from the science
curriculum taught in class in order to synthesize
a unit. Students will have to create a video
while they present their work. They will be in
the presentation like a weather forecaster uses a
blue screen to have an image behind him. This
effect called Chroma key , will give the
impression that the student is part of the
PowerPoint presentation. We will then convert the
video in a MPEG-4 video format and download it
into the Zune and on YouTube. The purpose of
the project for the students will be to
accumulate as many presentations possible from
other students of their class. Student could then
review the presentations from their classmates
and decide if they can improve their own
presentation, bringing it to a higher level. They
will learn from their classmates when their
projects are presented. This will help students
improve their learning. By posting their
presentations on their own personal blog, they
will be able to converse and exchange ideas with
other students all around the world.
