Hello again everyone!
This post focuses on one of my assignments, which I am very proud of, for a Children's Literature unit I undertook last semester.
For this assignment, I had to create a presentation on an Australian children's author. My partner and I chose to focus on Mr. Paul Jennings. The assignment description doesn't give away much but we approached the task enthusiastically.
With an assignment like this, we saw a lot of Powerpoint presentations. Not that these weren't great, but these sort of presentations got repetitive and seemed to follow the same format. Times this feeling by about 15, one for each group, and this lead to a lot of people in the tutorial fidgeting and quickly losing interest.
We also saw a Prezi. This type of presentation was definitely a breathe of fresh of air and the girls responsible did a lovely job presenting. But my partner and I still wanted to try something a little different and out of the ordinary.
So, in the end we came up with this...
Above is a hyper-link to the website we created. We decided to compile an interactive website containing of all the information we needed to display plus some interesting extras, such as an animation, books reviews and some videos.
Taking this approach allowed us to be more flexible in the order we presented plus the different types of media meant that it wasn't always us talking which hopefully kept the class awake and interested!
We decided to stick to the more traditional format for our handout and in the end, it looked very much like the one you can see here.
I was extremely happy with the final product, how it looked and how the class responded to it, and by the look of our final mark, as was our tutor!
What do you think of our assignment?
Have a question about wix.com and its features?
Thinking of using this idea for your next presentation?
