The Best Classroom Blogs for Creative Teaching Ideasmarifrance
The document discusses a blog created by teachers to share teaching ideas and resources. It provides a survey to determine the grade levels, subject areas, and blog habits of users in order to tailor resources to their needs. The blog aims to give teachers easy access to new teaching ideas from other experienced classroom educators.
Chinese New Year is celebrated with lion and dragon dances to bring good luck and happiness. People clean their houses, gather with family to eat and exchange gifts, set off firecrackers and fireworks, and decorate in red to scare away evil spirits.

using digital media technologies for creative Teaching and LearningElaine Humpleby
1) The document discusses using Prezi.com and blogs for creative teaching and learning with digital media. Prezi allows for 3D interactive presentations that students can access from anywhere with an internet connection.
2) Exam boards expect students to be independent learners, digitally literate, and able to do multi-tasking, critical theory, high quality productions, and group/individual work that combines theory and practice.
3) The author's teaching has become more digitally focused, using Prezi presentations, sharing materials online between students and teachers, and using Prezi's collaboration features like meetings for group work.
This project involved creating a fictional soap company called Monet Soaps Inc. and developing marketing strategies to promote their Lotus soap product. The group created branding elements like a logo, posters, and brochures as well as television and radio advertisements. They went through the full process of establishing a real company, including legal and statistical requirements. The presentation summarized the product, its benefits, and their advertising campaign.
Y3 ICT and the Foundation Subjects - Lecture 1Miles Berry
How should teachers best develop ICT knowledge and understanding of ‘digital natives’?
Lecture: Intro to the module. What is ICT Capability? Current national curriculum developments. The relationship between computing, ICT and digital literacy. The myth(?) of the digital native. Embedded approaches – developing ICT capability through other subjects
Task: Plan a lesson within your foundation subject that demonstrably would develop pupils’ ICT capability.
This document discusses creative teaching and how information and communication technologies (ICT) can support it. It begins by defining creative teaching as teaching creatively, as opposed to just teaching about creativity. It then lists several characteristics of ICT like provisionality, interactivity, and capacity that can enhance creative teaching and learning. However, it notes that technology is often used passively as a display tool rather than interactively. It argues that an embedded approach using tools like Google Maps, Skype, and 3D modeling can better support creativity across subjects like math, science, and arts. The document concludes by advocating for supporting students to become digital makers.
1) Today's lecture covered social media and its use in education, discussing how it can be used as both a distractor from learning or as a learning tool to facilitate collaboration.
2) Research shows that multitasking with technology like social media during class is correlated with lower academic performance.
3) Computer-supported collaborative learning (CSCL) has historical ties to other fields and aims to support collaboration and cooperation between learners, with interaction seen as a key element of learning.

Challenges for Consumers in an Unaligned World - Standards and Innovation Pre...Freelance
This presentation was created for a conference held by The International Consumer Product Health and Safety Organization. The audience was made up of private and public corporations from around the world.
The slide deck needed to be clearly understood by native English speakers and non-native English speakers.
The presentation was given alongside others and needed to fit within a very tight timeframe.
Tutorial how to use a picture as a presentation slide backgroundFreelance
http://www.carlkwan.com As promised, here's the tutorial on using a picture as a PowerPoint background. This also works for anyone like me who uses Apple's Keynote.
Why should you do this?
Well, if your slides stand out from normal presentation slides, your presentation will stick better in the audience's mind.
In the slides, you'll see the following...
1. Slides from a real presentation that I fixed and added pictures for the backgrounds.
2. You'll see the Before, then I’ll show you how to get from the Before to the After.
The steps I took can be done in PowerPoint or Keynote. The slides in the example presentation were all made in PowerPoint for Mac. Don't worry, as pretty much everything in the PC version of PowerPoint does the same thing.
So here are the six steps I took:
1. Alignment is a fast way to make a presentation more professional looking; use a left-align as your default to avoid design faults.
2. Use pictures that are relevant to your topic; make sure the picture size is the same or bigger than your slide size.
3. If a picture doesn’t have good colours, change it to black and white.
4. Make your titles bigger to create contrast and to help the audience see better.
5. Don't trap text in a bordered text box... Set it free!
6. Use a black box set at 75% transparency to use as a background for your text.
How do you keep your presentation audience from getting bored? MEI! No idea what that means? Check out the slides to learn what it takes to give a presentation that doesn't suck.
How to present data and statistics visuallyFreelance
Learn how to easily and effectively present data or statistics in a visual manner without a table. A visual presentation of statistics or data is more engaging and memorable for your audience.
Notice how the information is separated onto individual slides. This isn't always necessary, but it can help focus the audience and allow the presenter time to go into details without the audience's attention wavering towards something else.

National Food Safety Information Service Korea - Hong Kong PresentationFreelance
The President of the National Food Safety Information Service of Korea wanted to create a strong impression on an audience made up of food safety officials from around the globe.
The reason why is because Korea is looking to become the hub of food safety information and networking in the Asia Pacific region.
We had to help non-native English speakers quickly understand each slide's content and message, as well as show off the capabilities of the Korean food safety information and traceability systems.
We wrote the presentation script and created the design you see here.
The result is what we hoped... attendees asked to get more information about NFSI's systems and wanted to begin establishing a relationship with Korea.
This is what you can expect when you work with us... fast turnaround, as this was done in 6 days, and a strong visual representation of your information that's supported by a compelling and interesting story.
