Example 2 Student Centered Lecture
Okay, next we can take a look at Tia's, which has some really good examples of some specific details. She talks about her technique that she calls "calling out her audience" . . . that she does both in her slidecast and in her essay, but obviously it has to be done in different ways . . . and in this case, for different audiences. So if you look at the second paragraph here, she points to specific to specific things in the slidecast. So she talks about how she put on a slide 'YOU deserve better, ' 'how can YOU cage?', 'set YOUr priorities'" so I know exactly what she means she she says "calling out her audience." And now thinking back to her rough draft, I think it would be interesting to also talk how she uses the animations. She actually kind of switches the audience . . . the phrase that comes out first is more for a general audience or official audience or kind of points the blame towards the schools or the teachers, which is what people like to do, and then switches it to calling out her audience, really demonstrating the idea that students need to accept their own responsibility. So not only did the slidecast communicate this, it also performs and demonstrates this before your very eyes. Really, a nice thing to talk about for a reflection for Inquiry Four and Inquiry Three. In fact, she could even also talk about how she uses the same callout technique in Inquiry Three, but uses it in different ways, because that's mostly text-based and for a different audience. Then here at the bottom is another example of place where the idea's great, but maybe we could talk about more specifics. So she says, I think that reflecting as went along helped me be more specific with my audience. Okay, so it would be a good idea to actually point to one of the reflective blogs or something she said in one of those blogs and explain how that helped her pick a more specific audience. "The more specific I became the more I began to realize different ways to connect to different audiences." So again, some examples of some different ways that she learned. So really, in a lot of your blogs a lot of great ideas, but the goal here really is to demonstrate this by pointing to your own work. Because you can kind of look at this like an argumentative paper. There's lots of different ways of framing this paper, but one would be argumentative paper . . . that you're arguing that you've learned and accomplished something and for an argument, you need evidence . . . and where is that evidence going to be? It's going to be in your papers.
