Breanna Atlee Module #4

Infinite Campus presentation: https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/15pLq1p6LlDX_rOsNZ8ugJUUTrVrZQovLZRJcziXhJKE/edit?usp=sharing

We are in the process of changing from Power School to Infinite Campus in our district. I am on the training committee for my building. I created this Google slide with my specific building in mind. I wanted to use some of features of the slide; transitions, timed slide changes, and auto play, but know that with my colleagues, that is not possible. (Things that I could use with my Module 5 lesson because the audience and desired outcomes are different.)

When the whole presentation is given, it will be in parts. The first portion will be me showing the staff all of the features and tabs that are relevant to them with the help of a SMART Board. (Essentially, they will be seeing slides 12-20 in action before they see them in slide form. The next part of the presentation will be working through slides 1-11 step-by-step to ensure that everyone is logged in properly and in the right places on the website. Once we have established that they are, the slideshow will continue for those who need step-by-step guided assistance. For those who don't, they will remain in the same room, but more to the outer parts of the room to work and explore on their own. Everyone will have viewing permissions to refer back to the slideshow as they need to.

I looked into many of the other options for creating and sharing this presentation, but for my target group, sticking with something that they are more familiar with seemed to be the best choice. I am already asking many of them to step outside their comfort zones in logging in and bookmarking the page, too many new things would be sure to turn them off, distract from the target message and the overall purpose of the presentation itself.


For Bloom's, with my colleagues, I am asking that they remember, understand and apply. In creating this presentation, I took my understanding of IC to analyzing, evaluating and creating. Hopefully I was successful enough that the presentation facilitates the level of learning and understanding that the staff needs to begin using IC when students arrive on Wednesday.

**As I make further additions or corrections, this document will change and may not be the same as when linked to this blog. (Another really cool feature of Google.)
