Theory of Instruction:
For this project I will incorporate the use of Direct Instruction using **Examples and NOT examples.** Carnine and Engelmann presented their Theory of Instruction and is discussed well at this web site: [|Engelmann Theory of Instruction] psych.athabascau.ca/html/387/OpenModules/Engelmann/theory.shtml

PowerPoint with Directions
media type="custom" key="23635612"

Tutorial in Word Format:

This is a demonstration PowerPoint for teaching the concept of ON - using examples and not-examples of On. There is a specific sequence to presenting examples. Notice in this PowerPoint, there are 3 examples of On and then there are TWO examples of NOT ON. Finally the slides move to a more interactive style asking if the example is on or NOT on. Also there is a purpose in only teaching one concept at a time and not comparing it as that will come later. The advantage of using PowerPoint is that it provides a medium for multiple means of presentation for the student. media type="custom" key="23635654"

After the teacher presents a number of concepts, the teacher can make an interactive activity for students to do with an aide or peer. As this is posted on slideshare the links do not work correctly but if you want to see an example then you can download the show. media type="custom" key="23635658" Full PowerPoint Document Download: = = = =

== = = =Developing Presentation of Instruction by Creating Visuals & Content=

Students with mild to moderate disabilities need real life models or images to help them make the connections to actual tasks. Much research has been conducted that students learn best in the natural environment but often times it is difficult, time consuming or costly to take the students into the community to practice skills. Therefore whenever possible, real like photographs using their peers or other students or videos of actual situations should be used to demonstrate and model certain tasks.

Visual design and how it might impede performance learning.
Here is an example of a PowerPoint show with a slide where students need to choose many books. The middle school students who took the photos and developed the slide noted that these images gave a distorted view of the concepts. They realized that they had to take another photo of the "few books" from a more distant angle so that the proportion would be the same. Given the images in the first slide, the size of the image versus the number of books in the image would be confusing.
 * [[image:manyfew,jpg.jpg width="330" height="202" caption="3 books vs. a pile of books"]] || [[image:manyfew2.jpg width="398" height="210" caption="3 books vs. a pile of books, all books same size"]] ||

The following Powerpoint is a poor presentation of concepts embedded in a story. The student can select the correct answer and the feedback for the answer it then presented at the same time the next example is presented. There are too many words on a page with confusing concepts. media type="custom" key="4467725"

This is a better example of presenting just one concept on a slide. The problem with this PowerPoint is that too many concepts are presented and not enough examples for each concept. This might be good for a quick review at the end of learning all the concepts. media type="custom" key="4468629" For both of these PowerPoint shows no background was used besides a faded color so that the focus of the presentation would be on the image and the small amount of text. Also no special effects were added to either show again so the focus could be on the photos and the text.

Example good visual design and how it might facilitate performance learning.
For this I am going to insert a Powerpoint I showed in Design - On Demo, this visual design in this is sequenced so that it follows a particular pattern to introducing the concepts of on and not-on. media type="custom" key="4502196"
