Q: How would you use video for your teaching and students' learning? If you can, think of some innovative ways to use video for instruction. A: As a speech-language pathology major, I would use video as a way to help children improve their communication skills and understanding of language. For example, if child had a comprehension issue due to word learning issues, I could use an instructional video that teaches them new vocabulary they might hear in everyday conversation. Interactive videos would be especially helpful to make sure they were understanding the material.

Good Vs. Bad

The most common causes of DBPP my presentations contain are too many bullets and bad data presentation. I tend to handle aspects of pacing and visuals well, but struggle with the aforementioned issues. I think I tend to ignore MLP’s 3 and 6 most often. The reason I tend to give the audience an information overload (DBPP 1 and MLP 3) is because I want to make sure my audience understands what’s going on fully, and I want to make sure I don’t forget anything in the PowerPoint. To overcome this, I need to have more confidence in myself that I won’t actually forget what I want to say during a presentation (because I usually don’t regardless of the PowerPoint), and to realize that it is more effective to drive home my point through the words I say rather than the words on screen. As far as the data presentation, I often don’t focus on data enough in my PowerPoints, so when I do have to use data I don’t focus on it or give the audience an adequate visual reference for it. If I learn to focus on the fact that data can really help my presentation rather than just being a side-note, I will improve on this aspect of DBPP. As for the last MLP I mentioned, I need believe eliminating my issue with excessive text will cure this problem, as I will have more space to present pictures on the same page as text.
