Module+9

Here is Ryan's module 9. Stay tuned for more to come.

Here is my new presentation for module 9. As usuall, I have changed topics, I am going to have to go in and put in an original example at the begining. I also intend to add a few slides on the pride cycle at the end, to help the students identify where someone is in the pride cycle, and make some predictions as to where it will go.

Brandon, You have some good stuff here! Very informative! If I were to make a suggestion of something to improve, in my opinion, I would think that the design needs more visuals and a little less words to read on each slide. LH

Nice lesson. I like the way you have used examples to show pride and to have learners identify pride. Very well done. I do have some mechanical suggestions for your PPT. 1. You need a next button to advance slides. 2. Slide 2 is hard to read because of the large font size. If you are not projecting this slide you can reduce the font size to a much smaller and easier to read size. 3. Learners get annoyed when something they are trying to read disappears before they finish reading. Better to put a close button on your pop-ups that let the learner close the pop-up when they have finished reading rather than having it disappear on its own. 4. In the last exercise isn't it Nicole's pride that is being observed not Jake's? Good work. dm

Leslie Hoxsie Here is my continued insect project. I haven't changed my elephant picture, yet, but I will. This assignment contains expanded component slides on camouflage, scare tactics and mimicry. Also the Life cycle of a butterfly is added with hyperlinks. Thank you for your comments. LH

This project is coming along nicely. Lots of information. Suggestion you may want to apply our mantra "Tell, Show, Do" to each of the ideas you are presenting. Some of the ideas use all three of these learning events others not quite. Some specific suggestions: Some slides need better directions e.g. slide 6 and 7 show guidance when the pictures are clicked but there is no direction for learners to perform this interaction. Slide 8 you could put hot spots over the picture so learners could click on the part or close to the part to get the explanation. Slide 10 and others ... some of the nonexample seem too obvious Your comparison of bugs and spiders is better. Slide 13 again you could put hot spots directly over the picture for learner interaction. It is coming. Are you having fun? I didn't know about the 5 stages of a Caterpillar so I learned something. Keep smiling. dm
