An “Ideal Teacher” Fluent in the first language of all of students
Has no gender - sexless
Is not too young or too old nor too enthusiastic
Inspires and never nags
Is as funny as Bill Cosby
Is a combination of Bill Cosby and the Dalai Lama with a dash of the latest superhero and is an angel of light

What Do Students Want???Strongly preferred instructors’ use of key
phrase outlines revealed line by line on PowerPoint slides, to use them as discussion points, adding examples and elaborating beyond the slides and the text book on the key points.
Preferred the use of sounds congruent with the slide content and from the popular media. Bartsch and Cobern (2003) study, when not used purposefully, students found sounds distracting or “not worth the effort.
3
What Do Students Want???Preferred the use of any color background to
white, except for the use of bright colors that “hurt the eyes”. Similar to the use of sounds, colors and lightly patterned backgrounds can be used purposefully to cue learning.
Strongly preferred the lights dimmed during the PowerPoint presentations.

Basic PrinciplesKeep it simple
Impact with content not glitz
Be organized
5
Research has found when using PPT in class…Students perceived lectures as more organized and
better at emphasizing key points
Students’ attitudes toward the course and their self-efficacy beliefs were positively effected
Students claimed it was easier to attend to and understand the lectures
Students felt they took better notes and believed their notes were more organized, easier to understand, and useful for studying for exams
6
Research has also demonstrated that…Students preferred that faculty make PPT’s
available electronically for printing before class – did not affect their attendance
Students preferred copies of actual PowerPoint slides, including pictures, graphs or charts, significantly more than just text alone

Too many lines!
Too many words!
14
Text
Keep sentences short – chunk information
Avoid punctuation
Avoid using ALL CAPS
No more than five/six lines of text per slide
15
Bullet PointsSpace out
Use sparingly
Reveal all points at once…..study research
Keep attention…by contrast
Fading techniques
All slides should not look alike..
16
How can technology be used to enhance writing assignments?
Remember that technology enhanced writing instruction at its best is student-centered, collaborative, and hands-on.
Begin at the end. Consider the goals for the final assignment and how they fit the overall course goals.
Break large projects into smaller writing assignments.
Remember that all writing does not have to receive a letter grade.
Sequence all of the assignments to correspond to students’ increasing mastery.

Current studies show…From Inside Higher Ed Newsletter – Nov. 13,
2009http://www.insidehighered.com/news/2009/11/13/powerpoint
Students like to see PowerPoint used in their classes, but are very critical of poor presentation skills, especially when a professor just reads the slides.

first slide and show the data and draw conclusions on the next

3. Limit the amount of time you spend on each slide
4. Don’t read the slides5. Start presentation before audience arrives
and let your purpose drive some kind of change(Buss, 2009)
