This is the final artifact from ETEC 540, where I looked at the evolution of the presentation (a topic very close to my heart, as I do all my lesson planning in PowerPoint). Looking back, this really did make me realize that it isn’t always the content of the course that makes it useful, but the flexibility in the assessments (actually allowing students to use their creativity to relay back what they know to you). I really enjoyed researching this topic, and found it incredibly interesting how much the past does influence the future (the original slide show projectors, i.e. square little films with some basic images/text on them is still how current presentation applications are structured!). Obviously, the content has evolved but the structure still remains.
