15. Reflection I enjoyed putting the constructivist Power Point together. Many topics came to mind during the creation, but the topic of Nigeria is most unique and profound. Even though students can learn about different cultures by exploring the Internet, this Power Point provides a quick reference guide to the main facts about this country and its culture. The Power Point slide is for grade levels of kindergarten to third grade. Students will find this Power Point colorful and full of pictures to highlight the different topics about Nigeria. Also this slide can be used as a ice breaker for students learning about world studies. When putting together a constructivist Power Point it is important to have an idea of what you want your students to learn, how much information you want to put in the slide so that it does not become boring, cover main points of the topic, and be creative with pictures. In other words, know your audience and don’t over power them with too much information or words, but invite them to learn with pictures they can relate to or understand.
