2019 VWEDU: WW: Educational presentations in 3D. In the old days, we called them "lectures". But with modern technology, we don't just stand there and talk.

Educational presentations in 3D.  
In the old days we called "lectures".  
But with modern technology, 
we don't just stand there and talk.

Educational presentations can take advantage of the opportunities offered by new technology.

• Watch on YouTube
• Transcription of video to text: VidReader

• You can do a PowerPoint if you want.  
• And that is what you should do if your audience wants that.
• Maybe that's all you can do if you don't have time to write your presentation.
• PowerPoint Now Supports Live Subtitles and Captions on Presentations
• But new tech offers new potential and new presentation methods use it.

• Update 10/29/2020 VWBPE2021 Educators' online calendar and OPLN. Kitely 8X8 megaworlds. Federally Funded Language Programs.

************************

Online presentation

• Preparing a presentation in a virtual world. How to use the web

Video presentation

• Plan for a modern presentation in a digital world. For presenters and inquiry/project-based learning
• The presenter made a video of the presentation.
• And was available to answer questions in text chat during the video.

Video Segmentation

• These videos were prepared on site.
• And cut into meaningful segments of about 7-10 minutes. 
• The presenter spoke in the midst of the content.
• The content remains available for further use by the learners.
• Most of the content was posters that link to source web sites.
• Thus the learners can visit the instructional place and get the links.
• In educational contexts, they may need the links for reference.

Lecture in a box

• Not your granddad's literacy. Digital literacy: a presentation in a digital world. So not your grandad's presentation either
• Presentation in a box: Ethnographic Cultural Exhibits. In a digital world you can handle big boxes

Podcast

• Advantage: Works on a smart phone.  
• Travel friendly, always available, compatible with other activities.
• Special use:  Docent on field trip or other subject-related activities.
• Podcasts for education. Snack packs of knowledge. Student-sized projects.

Inworld presentation

• Posters replace slides.
• Posters remain available for review.
• Posters carry notes (notecards).
• Posters provide web links.
• Short group meetings and group reports can be mixed in.
• You could give live lectures on a virtual campus. But why would you?

Supporting resources for inworld presentation

• The student is on the internet and can access the web sites you assign.
• A lecture (from the French lecture, meaning reading) --Wikipedia: lecture
  
• You could even call reading assignments the modern form of lecture.

Web sites with related information

• Wikipedia (Be sure to check the page first.)
• Professional organizations (search)
• Government sites (search)
• Online Libraries (search)

Hypertext blog

• A blog can stand by itself
• Or it can be used to support a presentation.
• Hypertext can provide JIT learning
• Just-In-Time (JIT) learning in virtual schools, maybe with DTA coaching. Language as an example
• Hypertext can provide adaptive learning
• Teaching with hypertext. JIT learning. Adaptive learning. Active learning
• Search tips from a digital coach: DTA content page
• DTA content pages: The plan: Initial DTA content on the web here. Can be used from here or copied for use elsewhere.
• You could create your own blog, 
• Or collaborate with others on a blog about the subject.
• Or use an existing blog produced by experts.
