Project Description / Overview:
I often work at different schools in different capacities and I am sometimes asked to help teach certain content. In this instance, I was assisting a high school with updating student technology knowledge to increase their future success.
The issue is many students do not have basic technology skills that are adequate enough for what they will need in university, especially PowerPoint or using Google drive. Many students also do not know how to give presentations in either Japanese or English, as it is not a part of traditional learning strategies used in classrooms (Lectures style passive learning, all work handwritten from students if a report or writing of some kind must be done). This project is relevant to the issues at hand because universities, especially the top ones, are increasingly using more technology in educating students and expect that incoming students will have already mastered basics.
Aim:
- Students will develop presentation/speech skills and demonstrate those skills.
- Students will discover how to make a basic PowerPoint presentation and prepare one on their topic of choice to demonstrate in class.
The target audience are Students are 17-18 years old and in their third (and final ) year of high school. For this particular project, the three highest academic classes and the three lowest academic sports classes will participate. There is on average 35 students in a class with my smallest class being 28 students and my largest being 42 students.
The instruction will be delivered face-to-face, as this will be a continuation of their special English class. It is also the method of instruction students are most familiar with and considering the language barrier, it is best to stick to a routine they know. They will also be instructed using the programs they will learn as an example. They will have many task based activities in pair work, group work, and individual instruction.
