PowerPoint Quiz

The PowerPoint quiz activity relates to setting objectives, however it is a poor example of effectively setting objectives. The objectives are to narrow in this activity. The student doesn't have no sense of ownership of the PowerPoint they create, because they must follow step by step directions. You can't even pick your own animals to represent dangerous and not dangerous. The students also have no say in the goal setting process. The activity would better represent the setting objectives effectively by letting the students make more decisions while making the PowerPoint to obtain the ownership students long for in their academic work. "If students are encouraged to personalize the teacher's goals, then learning increases. Student ownership enhances learning focus."
