Module: The Internet and Digital Literacy

Unit: Principles and Practices

The student will be able to:

Present information in online digital formats suitable for the required audience.

From the learning outcome above we devised the following learning intention:

We will be able to create a presentation to explain a topic to an audience of 1st year students/novices.

The following success criteria are shared or co-created with students:

• Presentation should contain 6 slides, including the title slide

• The introduction should clearly outline the topic to be discussed

• Each slide should have 2 to 4 short bullet points along with a script that explains each point in greater detail

• There should be at least one opportunity for audience engagement

• Take copyright into consideration for any external content you use (text, images, video, etc.)

• A ‘References’ slide should be included to show where you sourced information, images, etc.

Effective questioning can provide teachers with information about the students they teach, allowing them to ascertain where children are with their learning. It can reveal evidence of existing knowledge, gaps in knowledge and any misconceptions students may have.

The careful planning of questions in advance and the use of digital student response systems (e.g. Mentimeter, Socrative, etc.) can help to increase student engagement and allow for improved feedback from the teacher.

The examples below show effective feedback from the teacher using online comments on the student's first draft of work. The comments are structured using example, scaffold and reminder prompts. In this example, the comment feature within Microsoft PowerPoint was used by the teacher to highlight areas for improvement.
