Hey folks, this is my updated Prezi lesson on Visas
- 00:05 - 00:06
of the Moon for grades 4 to 5.
- 00:07 - 00:10
After learning more about multimedia learning principles and theories in
- 00:11 - 00:11
D. C.
- 00:11 - 00:14
I. 337 I've changed a few parts of the presentation
- 00:15 - 00:19
to be a more effective teaching or educational resource and
- 00:19 - 00:21
I'll just be moving through the slides as I talk
- 00:21 - 00:22
about some of the changes I've made.
- 00:24 - 00:26
So first to reduce cognitive load.
- 00:26 - 00:29
As mentioned in the coherence principle, I reduce the information
- 00:30 - 00:31
on the main page of the Prezi so it's easier
- 00:32 - 00:33
to look at and engage with.
- 00:35 - 00:37
Not only is the information on the slides reduced but
- 00:37 - 00:41
the presentation is streamlined smoothly through the topic rather than
- 00:41 - 00:42
shifting in and out.
- 00:42 - 00:45
Which would at times bring up unnecessary information.
- 00:47 - 00:51
Then I addressed some issues I noticed in the redundancy
- 00:51 - 00:54
principles by taking out some of the full sentences I
- 00:55 - 00:58
would be speaking and instead of having those written on
- 00:58 - 01:04
the slides, I added thought or conversation prompts instead to
- 01:04 - 01:08
help manage intrinsic load, I used the modality principle to
- 01:08 - 01:11
make sure I was displaying images while discussing them with
- 01:11 - 01:14
learners and removing any unnecessary text.
- 01:15 - 01:17
So right here is an example where we can just
- 01:17 - 01:19
move right into an image and talk about it without
- 01:20 - 01:23
having the students distracted by anything written on a slide.
- 01:27 - 01:29
When I was looking to optimize your main load, I
- 01:30 - 01:33
thought that the multimedia principle would work well because with
- 01:33 - 01:36
this update, I can once again highlight images when explaining
- 01:36 - 01:37
key points.
- 01:39 - 01:41
Like right here, we can get right into this moon
- 01:42 - 01:47
and talk about why what we see and what the
- 01:47 - 01:50
sunlight is doing to affect our view of the moon.
- 01:53 - 01:55
I also really wanted to make sure I was using
- 01:55 - 01:59
the personalization principle to make conscious choice, uh, conscious effort
- 02:00 - 02:03
to use 1st and 2nd person language and resist being
- 02:03 - 02:06
too formal or stiff when presenting this to learners.
- 02:07 - 02:10
Um, and, well, this has mostly been a change in
- 02:10 - 02:11
talking notes.
- 02:11 - 02:15
I also also altered language on slides to fit a
- 02:15 - 02:16
more relaxed approach.
- 02:21 - 02:23
And there's a bit more detail in my blog post
- 02:24 - 02:27
that this video is embedded in, along with the references
- 02:27 - 02:27
that I used.
- 02:29 - 02:31
Uh, well, thanks for watching.
- 02:32 - 02:34
And I hope this has helped clarify the changes that
- 02:35 - 02:38
can be made to create a more effective educational resource.
