Introduction
With the growing demand of implementing the new technological methods on education, Power Point takes place a presentation application that displays a series of designed slides to present a story, subject matters, advertisements or programmers in an attractive and effective manner. A presentation can be made more expressive with the usage of audio, video, pictures, texts, animations, drawings and buttons. We can replace Power point Presentations to the news papers, assembly, exhibitions, advertisements, notices and posters.
It is vastly motivated the students with the presentation made out by audios, videos, pictures, texts, animations, drawing and buttons in the learning teaching process. Students can display dynamic and attractive screen to audience using colour, texts types, speech, through the bubbles and templates using the suitable time durations. The students get more enthusiastic when they can add links to music and extracts from other resources such as television, Encarta, graphics internet and images downloading by the internet.
Then, with the intention of implementing the PowerPoint into learning teaching scenario, this task is focused grade 8, 9 and 10 students has selected as the benefactors. Here the Grade 8 students are expected to produce a linear type of presentation while the grade 9 and 10 students are expected to produce a branched type presentation where groups work under sub-themes. The ICT aspects involved in the task as the knowledge levels of students and the subject matters are gradually improved from lower grade to upper grades. (The ICT aspects are given below) as the preparation for the task, at the beginning of each project the students are given an opportunity to experiment on power point tools, through peer learning and with the help of the teacher.
In Grade 8 students have to search the places of paintings, sculptures, and wood carving on kandian era by peering the internet and other tools and present them in ms power point tool. The students of grade 9 have to search the numbers, the medium of colour that paintings were painted and the kind of events on, paintings, sculptures, and wood carving of those places and present them using the presentation tools. Grade 10 students have to find out the information (the author, historical and cultural importance of the events, the special features of the paintings and the differences with the paintings of other eras. etc…) on the artistic events those mentioned above and have to do the presentation using the presentation models.
Educational aspects
Since these projects are done as presentations, the students are highly motivated and they engage in the learning teaching process very creatively.
The students in grade 8, 9 and 10 do their task in parallel to the lessons on art subject in school learning teaching scenario. Not only they motivated to implement the knowledge on paintings in kandian era to the school based exams and other competitions in school but also they practiced to attach any social events such as educational trips and also in day to day events.
In these task the students of grade 8, 9, and 10 produce three presentations relevant to one topic. In the task teacher has given guidelines to students to do the task relevant to the grade level respectively from similar one to complex one. There they can get experiences peering on the important historical era in Sri Lanka in reporting paintings, culture and social factors using most appropriate presentation tools.
The whole students who participated to this task work in groups and produce presentations; there they get the feeling of team sprit, companionship and satisfaction. The students of grade 8 and 9 device their project works among groups. Their final presentation will be a branched type presentation connecting all the work done by the groups. Here they experience unity, team work and reaching goals through dedication and hard work. In the group itself, they get the opportunity to experience collaborate learning, as they share duties according to the different types of skills, the group members have.
