Commerce Syllabus links

Syllabus: Commerce, stages 4 &5. Option 2: Promoting and Selling (pp 28-29).

Idea:  Students are set the task to promote a non-profit organisation/event, incorporating content from both the commerce and arts syllabi.

Elements from the 4 areas of Promoting & Selling can be addressed, or we can choose to focus highly on selected 2. 

Ideas: Students are set a task to promote a not-for-profit organisation or event within their school environment. This is a grouping task which requires students to work together in a physical and online environment to document their progress and outcomes with the task.

·         Within the business element of the project students will learn about the areas of promotion and selling including selling techniques and their effectiveness, targeting, and relevance to audience.

·         Within the visual arts component of the project students will be introduced to successful promotional designs or products and/or causes, and learn how to make these promotional objects and strategies

There lies potential for student’s ability to run a fundraiser that they will promote to the school or wider community, to enable the implementation and monitoring of selling techniques and promotional activities.

EDUC1751 Tutorial, Week 5 - 26/8

This week I am exploring online options and sites that allow for online collaboration as a collaborative and reflective resource for assessment 2. Online collaboration will be an element in our second assessment. It provides accountability for what students have done, with a digital account of their contribution. It allows for teacher to monitor student contribution, and for other students within the group to be included in the ideas from each student, and how they come together for their end assessment.

For #2, include AS MUCH business links in this blog, 'cos of the massive differences between the Art & business syllabus. 

Assessment 3:
TPACK: Mishra & Koehlr, 2006
PCK: Shulman, 1986
Integrate these into #2, also.

Assessment 1 - Technological Artefacts. 19/8

Here is the presentation I have created for EDUC1751 Assessment 1 - Virtual presentation.

It is a slideshow with voice narration, converted to a video to be embedded.
Enjoy!

Note: My microphone is on it's way out, so your volume may need a boost. Just a heads up!

Week 3 Web 2.0 Tools Tutorial - 12/8

For this weeks lesson I'm focussed on Assessment 1, which is due next week; getting clarification from the tutor and making a start on the assessment.

Assessment #1 - Virtual Presentation

Task: 

Deliver a three (3) minute virtual presentation.

Your presentation should include analysis of a good example, and a bad example of a

technological artefact. 

You must discuss which aspects you will take forward into your

project. Use at least two (2) technological tools to communicate with your audience.

Looking at the 'PUDDLE' link on Blackboard, there is no opion for 'business', so I will choose 'Geography' as it falls under the HSIE category.
I will be examining a Scootle activity, and comparing/contrasting it to either the conservation acitivty, or another of the Scootle activities.

For the presentation itself, I will be using PowerPoint with an audio element, as opposed to creating and uploading a single video. There's a resource on BlackBoard called screencast which is essentially creating mini-videos of your computer screen, which allows demonstrations. I will try and incorporate this into my presentation to demonstrate main points.
