technology "pieces"

In an assignment that I recently did with my students, I had them demonstrate their knowledge of the design elements in fashion by completing a VMA Award assignment. They were required to explore various websites then put their findings and evaluation of the design elements in a powerpoint presentation. I showed/demonstrated the use of the basic creation (using a template) within powerpoint. This allowed not only the reinforcement of content but a small portion of technology usage.

  1. It sounds like a more interesting way of summarizing their findings and evaluations. I wonder if you have done this assignment a different way in the past and how it compares to doing it this way. I look forward to hearing how this worked.

  2. This is the first time I have done this type of assignment. In the past - I lectured on the 4 types of design elements and had the students "create" a design out of newspaper to illustrate the 4 design elements. But the VMA's powerpoint project allowed them to use technology, practice descriptive writing skills and show application. It was a great success!
