Week 2 Reflections

During week two of EDCT 203, we each constructed a PowerPoint presentation that included a short mini-lesson and an interactive quiz-like game. This project covered the following standards: S3. Model Digital-Age Work and Learning, S1. Facilitate and Inspire Student Learning and Creativity, and S4. Promote and Model Digital Citizenship and Responsibility. This project was extremely entertaining and I know I will be able to use the PowerPoint quiz feature in my future classrooms. I enjoyed constructing the interactive quiz game, for it allowed me to broaden my skills in PowerPoint, as well as to learn how to create simple questions concerning a presented lesson. I also enjoyed being able to work on a project that let me unleash creativity. I was able to insert pictures, use different editing tools, and create a PowerPoint that was very visually appealing. In the future, I plan on using this type of assignment with my students. I can have students create an interactive quiz game (individually or in groups) about the lesson/s that is/are being taught at the present time. I can then have students present these to the class, which creates a fun and lively review session. This will be beneficial to both the students making the presentations and the other students in the class. Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed the assignment and found it much more interesting than the assignments in week 1.
