Working with word

The Poster

The Pamphlet

 

The Lesson Plan 

My Portfolio Reflection

 

   The teacher aids used for my Industrial Arts 2nd form class were in the form of a poster and a pamphlet.   The poster made from manila, colored paper and pictures was geared to give the students a visual of the types and categories of woodworking tools.  The brochure, a handy reminder of information about the safety tips necessary when using the tools.  All items were prepared with the versatile Microsoft Word.

   Overall working with my partner, a fellow IA teacher was great.   We collaborated well and shared responsibility towards creating the end product.  Our vision came alive and was successful.

   Creatively, the material could have been presented differently, for example, a model tool box with pop-ups of the tools could have been an option.  Another option could be making the piece more interactive where students could place the tools in the different categories, and it indicate if they were right or wrong giving immediate feedback, discovery learning.  I have to ensure that my learning aids are appealing to my adolescents’ audience.

    Overall the process of using Microsoft Word as a technological tool in preparing for my class was fulfilling.  I intend to integrate this and may more relevant and suitable methods in the classroom.
