  1. PROBLEM OF PRACTICE Curriculum Design: Information Technology Monique Belisle University of Oregon, Spring 2012

  2. My Problem: Demonstrations in sewing class • The logistics of having 26 students gather around a sewing machine to see, hear, and understand what I am doing is a nightmare. • I have to re-show the demo the next day for students who were absent, which wastes my time and takes time away from other students in the class.

  3. Current Practice • At the moment the only way to demonstrate threading and machine or new sewing technique is to have the students stand around and watch as I go through the steps. • To help with student focus and engagement I break the class into two and do the demo twice, which takes twice as long. • In doing this most students walk away understanding what to do, however there are always a few who missed something because they could not see!

  4. Student Absences… • When a students has missed the demonstration I have to show them one on one. • I have tried directing students to ask others to show them, however, important pieces of information are often missed. • In the end, I do a third demo and call out to any students who still have questions to come and watch.

  5. Solutions • As solutions to my problem I have decided to create • a video posted on teacher tube • step by step slide show on voice thread • a wiki

  6. Teachertube • Student will be able to watch a demonstration of me threading the top of the sewing machines used in sewing class • A video was the most obvious solution and I wanted to try and compare it to the voice thread and wiki. http://www.teachertube.com/viewVideo.php?video_id=265941&title=Threading_a_Bernina

  7. Voice thread • Sewing a closed seam sample • The voice thread will take students through the steps of sewing a basic seam sample • I like the idea of having still shots of all the steps • I will be easier for students to go at a slow pace http://voicethread.com/share/3091395/

  8. Wiki • Sewing a dart • Students will be able to see pictures and step instructions • Students are invited to ask questions and add their own “tips” to the wiki. https://msbelisle.wikispaces.com/

  9. What do you think? • Please fill out my questionnaire to help me further my practice • https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/viewform?formkey=dEhGMDdRQ3BSVDRCbzZjblB5dUtNa2c6MQ
