Effective Teaching with PowerPoint A Learning Theory Approach

Link to resource (By David M. Antonacci)
"This presentation examines teaching and learning from an information-processing perspective, using the events of instruction developed by Robert Gagne. It shows you how to apply these ideas to developing PowerPoint presentations that effectively support instruction. It also presents many example slides highlighting important instructional capabilities of this technology."
Gagnes Nine Events of Instruction:

Gaining Attention - Reception. Use abrupt stimulus change.
Informing Learner of the Objective - Expectancy. Tell learners what they will be able to do after learning.
Stimulating Recall of Prior Learning - Retrieval to Working Memory. Ask for recall of previously learned knowledge or skills.
Presenting the Stimulus - Selective Perception. Display the content with distinctive features
Providing Learning Guidance - Semantic Encoding. Suggest a meaningful organization.
Eliciting Performance - Responding. Ask learner to perform.
Providing Feedback - Reinforcement. Give informative feedback.
Assessing Performance - Retrieval and Reinforcement. Require additional learner performance with feedback.
Enhancing Retention and Transfer - Retrieval and Generalization. Provide spaced reviews and varied practice.

you master these nine events of instruction in your PowerPoint (Breeze) presentations you have basically mastered the Instructional Design component . Though, you still need some creativity to really gain the learners attention.

5 Important lessons, I learned from this inspiring talk by Nor Fadzleen Sadon about Harvard Summer School:

At Harvard you are encouraged to learn, think and have group discussions outdoors.
Class participation is highly valued. 30% of the course evaluation is based on students class participation (at least for Nors 2 courses).
Students learn through attending/facilitating workshops, giving presentations and doing projects on real companies or ideas that can be applied to the real world. A lot of emphasis is given on students to speak up, articulate and share their ideas, opinions and thoughts.
Students are required to mostly find their own resources for the learning activities, and spoon-feeding or regurgitation of the Professors notes is simply a No No!
The Professors are not there to tell you what is right and wrong, but to provoke you to think and challenge one another to find your own path in a myriad of possibilities. You have to be prepared to get constructive feedback from your peers and Professors at all times.

Finally, although learning is tough at Harvard, you are recommended to have fun while you try to innovate or find creative solutions to the biggest problems and issues that the world is facing today.

And amazingly, Nor Fadzleen Sadon attended Harvard Summer School while fasting, and one of her team project reports scored the highest (Al-Hamdulilla). Insya-Allah, she is destined to do great things for education in Malaysia and beyond :)

The iPad for Learning Teaching Workshop at IMU!

First, I would like to declare that I am NOT working for Apple, and I was certainly not paid for preparing a workshop (and slides) on using iPad for learning and teaching. However, I do use iPad a lot for my own personal learning, and there are some really cool things that educators can do with it to engage students and inspire more creativity, besides the negative aspects which are highlighted, too (Slide 11).

The iPad for Learning and Teaching workshop was facilitated at IMU on the 9th January, 2013 (for IMU faculty staff only).

Now, lets explore some of the cool stuff!

IPAD WORKSHOP

This 1/2 day hands-on workshop will awaken and empower you on how iPads can be used more strategically and effectively for learning and teaching using a range of cool apps. It will be interactive, engaging, fun, and you will learn a lot of tips on how to use mobile devices to engage your students in and beyond the classroom.

After completing this workshop, you will be able to:

Download and annotate presentations/articles/notes.
Use social media to connect and collaborate with others.
Create interactive multimedia e-books.
Create and publish online interactive video tutorials.
Use a variety of apps to engage students in and beyond the classroom.
