PowerPoint Response

1. What was the learning goal of the PowerPoint activity? The learning goal was for the students to use PowerPoint to create a PowerPoint presentation.

2. How do you know? I know that the learning goal was to create a PowerPoint presentation because Dr. Linstrom instructed us to follow the directions and complete the assignment. By going through the assignment, I realized that we were creating a PowerPoint assignment too.

3. How was learning assessed? Was the assessment formative or summative? Learning was assessed by the CORRECT completion of the activity. The assessment was formative because our instructor was walking around checking our progress on the assignment. It was also summative because the assignment was not officially graded until we had submitted the assignment.

4. Did this activity support 21st century learning? (We used computes!) The activity barely supported 21st century learning because we did use computers to create a PowerPoint presentation.

5. Did this activity feel inclusive (meaning did all student experience positives emotions or some degree of success?) This activity did not feel inclusive because the directions were for one specific program for one specific computer to be designed specifically and exactly how the instructor wanted. I have an Apple MAC computer so my program was not compatible with the directions that were provided for the assignment. It was impossible for everyone to follow the directions and complete the assignment correctly because of different computers and different programs.
