Sample student notes: deciding on a delivery method
Delivery method |
Pros and cons |
Slide show |
+ Viewers can watch slides at their own pace and navigate back or skip ahead. + I can use images, written words, and links. + I can include any recipes I want to share. + I can use text animations to spice things up. -Slide show presentations often seem dry and not engaging. -The final file might be really large, and my audience would probably have to download it to view it. -To view my project, my audience might need to have the same slide show software I have. |
Video |
+ Video would seem cooler than a slide show. I could include a soundtrack with music and voiceover. + Actually watching someone make tea in a video might be more helpful than written instructions. + Video would allow me to control the sequence of information, but that’s not really important to me for this project. - I’m not sure how I would include my recipes so that they could be saved and used. Maybe a download link at the end of my video? - I’d have to keep it short or risk boring my audience. - Video can be hard to edit. If I change any visuals, I might have to adjust the soundtrack. |
Web site |
+ A Web site would be easy to share. All I’d have to do is provide a URL. + Viewers would be able to control the order in which they see information and easily revisit things they find interesting. + I could include my recipes on the pages or as downloadable files. + I could include any image, audio, or video files I wanted to. + There are plenty of free Web site builders online that I can use. |
