Who Are Digital Natives?
(After viewing my presentation on AuthorShare, I have included the link above to my google drive with the correct formatting of the presentation. AuthorShare did not keep my formatting from PowerPoint.)
In my presentation I want to show the
many ages of the so called “Digital Natives” and what we can do as educators to
increase their awareness of digital literacy, appropriate use, and digital productivity.
The presentation is mainly aimed at educators to help them consider that
students of these ages come from many different backgrounds which affect their
literacy levels. We need to consider multiple ways they might learn, think and
socialize with technology and how we can use and teach technology in the
classroom to aid in this process. My hope would be that educators remember the
changes in technology during their life time and how that affected education
and the world around them. With the speed of technological advancement, educators
need to understand the speed at which Digital Natives are being expected to
understand and use technology. To correct any misunderstandings in digital
literacy, I have provided examples of digital literacy programs that can be
used in classrooms. Indeed a simple change in one’s teaching style or
environment could incorporate the technology available to us in the educational
setting today. It is my hope to use this presentation, when completed, at a kiosk during teacher orientation.
Your presentation was very interesting! I really enjoyed your use of visual metaphors to express your information. The only slide that I did not quite understand was Slide 12. Were you trying to say that children will go crazy without technology? That would be my only suggestion for change. Good job!
ReplyDeleteActually I searched anxiety, isolation and depression to find these images. Crazy is appropriate also. :) The man scratching his head I added in just because sometimes students can't think without technology.
DeleteI'm similar to this because I have to have a pencil to do math. It is the mathematician in me.
Thanks!
I think you did a fantastic job of tying together imagery and ideas. I like how your presentation has a good narrative "flow," and the transitions and animations you used worked to synthesize the core concepts of your message. I also like the music you picked out-it's upbeat and just a little funky, and the synthesizers go with the ideas of synthesis and future.
ReplyDeleteYour presentation was great! The music was upbeat and shows your positive vibes about Digital natives and the change in education. I love the movements within the slides! I also had trouble with AuthorShare keeping my formatting. It didn't seem to greatly affect your slides. The only thing I saw was the text on slide 2 was a bit difficult to read. Great job!
ReplyDeleteYou are correct with slide 2. I have had trouble with that since the beginning. I wanted that background to help portray the idea. I changed the text to black and made the background more transparent. Thanks!
DeleteI liked your presentation a lot! It was easy to read, the music supported the overall theme/feeling of your presentation, and I liked how you showed the transitions being made in this digital age. Your text was easy to read and your pictures supported everything you were conveying from the text. Nice presentation!
ReplyDeleteI really enjoyed your presentation. It held my attention and was very informative. The transitions were great and they music flowed very well with what you presented. I liked the animation with the text. Very nice!!!
