[nobe-l] lesson plan presentation

Thu Nov 15 13:22:25 UTC 2012

Hi, Ashley.

You are correct, the PC in the classroom doesn't have JAWS on it and I have
been hooking up my own equipment for the last three lessons, an so I think
at this point, I have proven my ability to solve the problem of how I myself
might present the lesson. Now, I'm trying to concentrate on classroom
movement and delivey.  Besides, the presentation time  for the lessons is
getting shorter, and it takes almost as much time to set up and load my file
as it does to present.
There are a couple of people on this list who think that they must not rely
on anyone under any circumstances, and that kind of mentality is both
arrogant and dangerous.  I  think that sometimes you have to concede and
realize thet interdependence is necessary sometimes.

Hi Elizabeth,
I am not studying to teach as I got discouraged from that in my undergrad
degree. Which subject do you want to teach? In an increasing multi culture
setting, we need foreign languages for our workforce. So, I imagine your
classes will be popular.

As to your question, I agree with you. Given you have limited space, time
and flexibility in the environment, I think asking someone to turn slides
isn't a big deal. As you said, you want to assure that people see you and
have a smooth presentation.
Also, I suppose you do not have jaws on this pc you need to interact with to
turn slides.
I see what people are saying about independence, but I believe we have to be
interdependent on people sometimes to let our abilities shine. In this
instance, you have a limited time for the presentation; you do not want to
worry about the technology or where you are standing in relation to the
board. You want to focus on delivering your presentation.

When you teach I'm sure you will be independent by setting up your equipment
or finding other means to present rather than a projector. For instance,
handouts or transparencies.

Good luck.
Ashley

I'm very glad for you, but this is a classroom setting in which I have no
control.  Iam literally stuck in a corner between the desk and the white
board.  I am not assured that people can see me, and I think I need to adapt
the situation accordingly, don't you think?

I'm just telling you that 5 minutes or 50 you need to get your degree the
same way other people get their degree. I never had an accommodation special
to me, and when I graduated I had 2 teaching offers. I was in the school
paper, and did many talks for people earlier in the program. One day you
will need to do a 5 minute talk in a staff meeting and it wouldn't look good
if you couldn't do it.

But the thing is, the presentation is only five minutes long.  I'm not doing
an entire lesson, so it's not realistic.

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?
