I’m Intrigued By This Idea Of A “Living” Slideshow, & Could See It Being A Huge Hit Or An Absolute Disaster In The Classroom

[Larry Ferlazzo]

I had students create a lot of slideshows and make a lot of presentations when I was in the classroom, though I often had them make posters, instead (you might be interested in The Best Resources For Teaching Students The Differences Between A Good & Bad Slide).

I was intrigued by this Edutopia article, which describes a living “slideshow,” where there is a narrator and, instead of static slides, classmates act them out.

It has some elements of a Tableau, which I experimented with a bit.

If I was still in the classroom, I’d give it a shot. I’d guess it would have a 50/50 chance of either being a big hit or a big disaster.
