Design authentic distance learning experiences with PowerPoint

Strand:

Speakers: Scott Moss and Kyip

Microsoft PowerPoint is a mighty tool that can be used for more than just presentations. This powerful application can be used as a desktop publishing program, a graphic design app, and a formative assessment tool. You can use PowerPoint to create an interactive self-directed lesson for students or simply a digital worksheet for students to complete. Why wouldn't you do these things in Microsoft Word or in the Adobe Creative Suite you ask? Because PowerPoint is easier to use, easier to manipulate objects and one less application to.

Jennifer Smith, Ed.D. 

AVID (Advancement Via Individual Determination) is a key component of the CIS: College and Career Readiness Unit. It is a college and career readiness system for elementary through postsecondary, designed to increase learning and achievement. AVID provides support for first-generation college-going students. 

 

In this session, the instructional strategies that AVID promotes, such as Focused Note-Taking, Critical Reading and Inquiry-Based strategies, to name a few will be highlighted. These type of strategies have a positive impact on the reading levels of students in alternative education, as it empowers them to be able to access complex text, formulate critical questions to clarify their own thinking and the thinking of others – these are skills all students need to be successful, but they are absolutely vital for our at-promise youth.
