Classroom Scenario #2

Students learn how to use PowerPoint by creating a slide presentation called “My Life,” which has three slides that use varied transitions, sound and/or images.

activity is at literacy level...students are asked to perform certain skills of power point presentation

jen - I think that this is more adaptive because PowerPoint is used as a "productivity tool used to adapt assignments/tasks given in the past without technology.

I am also thinking adaptive as they are doing something they once did but in a new way via technology

This is adapting and literacy based. It is very teacher directed and students are learning a new computer skills, but students do have a little creative space in reguard to transitions, sound or pictures

I agree with the folks that said that this would be a literacy level task. I don't see that there is any learning in this activity beyond the use of the software. The subject of their project is something they already know about. It's the software that is the object of this lesson--but this doesn't mean that it can't be worthwhile or creative.
