Session+10

May 6, 2011 Today was our class's final workday. Therefore, the students concentrated mainly on finishing up their PowerPoints, putting the finishing touches on their posters, dividing up the speaking roles for their presentations, and practicing their presentations. We were very pleased to see how great the PowerPoints looked. Many students had color schemes, pictures, and lots of information on their slides. The posters were also very nice! In order for them to have the best presentations possible, Elizabeth demonstrated a bad presentation for the class, which we followed with a discussion about what was wrong and what could be done to improve it. Some of the things the students noticed were that Elizabeth spoke too quietly and quickly, fidgeted, stuttered, and read right off the PowerPoint. We are excited to see the presentations on Monday!

Here is the PowerPoint presentation we used for our demonstration: [|mathpresentation.pptx] Here it is in another format if the first doesn't work on your computer: [|mathpresentation2.ppt]
