Week 3B
Design is important when presenting to students.
When making a powerpoint presentation, we need to think about what we can remember, and how we can help our short term memory.
What is useful on a slide:
- As few words as possible
- Animation
- Images / diagrams
What captures our attention on websites:
- Information on the left hand side
- Eyes drawn to the 'F' shape

This is where rather than getting homework to revise schoolwork, use homework to prepare for school. This could be something like watching a video to prepare for class.
Auralia
This is a music education software that provides students with a series of tests that allows for the development of musical skills. The tests are scaffolded and you begin with the very basics before working up to more difficult questions.
We looked at how we can set specific questions for students to answer as a test.
