[nobe-l] lesson plan presentation

[Elizabeth Anderson]

This is where I run into a problem.  All lessons must be on a flash drive.
I've just been setting up either before class or  I'm the llast presenter.
Therefore, all presentations are on projector.  My movements
arerestricted...I am literally stuck between the desk and the white board
and I am not assured that I can be seen clearly by all in the room.

Sorry; I forgot your plan was only 5 minutes. You might like the document
camera projector idea for longer lessons, but maybe you don't want to go
through all that trouble for only five minutes. I would make sure I prepared
the slides using Powerpoint or ever how you like before then so that you
show you could teach by preparing well beforehand. You might explain that
with a normal lesson, you could take the time to set up appropriate
equipment. Do as much of the tech even in five minutes as you can, but you
have to judge what level that will be. For example, you might even color
Code your outline or whatever you will be using on the projector so you can
refer to it as you talk. Like maybe say look at the blue star now. Or, have
each idea/concept in a separate blank document you open individually. Do
your presentation first so you can set up before class begins, meaning maybe
you can control the slides. When I was in a Math class, the teacher used a
really old projector he put physical pieces of paper under that would then
show up on the screen. A document camera could also do this. Anyhow, this
did not require a laptop for it. What I did for a Geometry lesson I taught
was to use the document camera and let the picture display on the chalkboard
or whatever they call those things these days. Then, I made laminated
cutouts of a line, a ray, etc and could physically touch it since I could
identify it by touch as I talked about it. I had previously made a
posterboard with the lines and rays already velcroed on there so they could
be reused in the future. You could place a raised something on there to mark
if you were using print instead of tactile cutouts. Like Walmart has these
bags of all different things that just peel off and stick on something that
are different shapes. Maybe the heart is outline number 1; the circle
outline number 2, etc. Just some ideas for thought. Anita

Okay, I see what you mean. Good idea.
Thanks.

I agree. Also, just so you know, I taught a lesson using a projector. What I
did was to use a blank white wall, a projector machine, and had my laptop
hooked up using a cord. If you do it this way, then you can position the
laptop out of the way so that you wouldn't be in the way anyhow. Also, the
projector I used was noisy because it required a fan because it has a very
hot lightbulb in it. So the noise of the fan could also tell you if you were
blocking the view of the other students as could their responses to you
since the eye of the machine points toward the whiteboard or wall. Just an
idea. Good luck! Anita

You need to do the whole thing. If you want people to think you can teach on
the same playing field as them you need to do the tech. You are going to
have this same problem in the classroom so you should start now.

Okay, everybody, I have an interesting dilemma, and I want to get an
opinion.  I am taking a teaching methods class for teaching a foreign
language and each student is tequired to present a lesson plan.not the
entire lesson, just about five minutes or so, just giving a summary of the
lesson and the activities and that sort ofthing.

As part of the lesson, the class must see on the projector the lesson while
the student talks about it.  I have been watching other students move back
and forth from the computer as they operate it and then move so the other
students can see better and talk.  Do any of you see anything wrong with me
having another student operate the computer so that I don't feel so confined
when I set up my own technology and so that I have that freedom of movement
and so that I am assured that others in the room can see me?
