Text: The importance of the PowerPoint
as a classroom resource
(Text adapted from Teachers: 5 Tips for Creating Great
PowerPoint Presentations, retrieved
PowerPoint is a resource developed by Microsoft
and released initially in 1990. It is mainly used in
professional meeting presentations all over the
world.
One of these professions is in educational area:
teacher.
PowerPoint presentation is spread among
teachers because it is different from lecturing or
teaching with a textbook; it is also a way of sharing
content with students.
To produce a PowerPoint correctly, teachers need
to know how to put the slides together, it can be an
effective way of reinforcing content to students so
that they are better able to retain it. Otherwise,
teachers can print and distribute the PowerPoint
presentation or post it online, so students can go
back and access it as reference material. However,
if it is not put together correctly, a PowerPoint
presentation can disengage and make students
bored.
To develop PowerPoint presentation is simple and
it can also provide a fun time noticed by its
characteristics: basic, simple, and not distracting, it
can be focused on keywords; for instance, always
be sure to include a summary slide of what the
presentation is intending to accomplish as well as a
table of contents on the different topics that will be
covered in the program. The summary slide serves
as the main topic and what students should learn
after viewing the presentation. Then, at the end of
the PowerPoint presentation, teachers should
include another summary slide, going over
everything that was just covered and, again,
highlighting the main point.
Bottom line
PowerPoint presentations need to have a purpose
and the teacher must make sure that the purpose is
understood.
Add pictures
Teachers can reinforce the content with pictures,
charts, symbols, and other images. In fact,
sometimes it’s better to have more pictures than text
in a PowerPoint presentation, because images work
to reinforce a content main point.
Teachers typically will just share it with their
classes, so they can pull images straight from the
Internet. However, for teachers who are making
more public and widespread presentations,
copyright law needs to be considered (Brazil
Information Access Law nº 12.527; Art. 31;
paragraph 3; item II).
Add video
Pictures can help to reinforce a main point or
support content, as well as videos. Some research
affirm that students enjoy watching videos and
retain information from them well, especially if the
video is engaging, interesting and informative.
Teachers can embed videos right from YouTube or
from their desktops to complement a PowerPoint
presentation.
Practice
Nothing turns off a class like a poorly put together
PowerPoint presentation, so teachers should
always be sure to do a quick rehearsal before they
present it to the class. While testing it, make sure all
the images load up on the slides, videos load up
properly and audio works, too. Also, it’s important
for teachers to make sure that there’s a way to
connect their computer, or upload anything that’s
storing the PowerPoint presentation, to a larger TV
monitor or projector screen so the whole class does
not have to huddle around a computer screen to
view it. Teachers should also make sure that any
text can be read and understood. Be sure that the
color scheme is good.
Make it fun
A PowerPoint presentation can be an innovative
way of teaching. It’s a more interesting and
engaging way for students to learn than the typical
lecture. Teachers should embrace this teaching
resource and have fun with it. Throw in some jokes,
possibly some funny pictures and be sure to get
creative with presentations.
As we previously noted, the more students enjoy
a lecture, presentation, or activity, the more likely
they are to retain information.
Read the following fragment and choose the
alternative that best replaces the highlighted
words, respectively:
“However, if it is not put together correctly, a PowerPoint presentation can disengage and make students bored.”
“However, if it is not put together correctly, a PowerPoint presentation can disengage and make students bored.”

Text: Paulo Freire and Communication Studies
(Adapted from Tania Ramalho article in Communication
- Oxford University Press.
Paulo Freire, the Brazilian activist educator and philosopher of education, affirmed that communication is at the heart of pedagogy, as teaching, and learning through praxis that involves reflection and action ultimately to address social injustice and dehumanization. Dialogue is at the center of his pedagogical approach, as means to individualization and humanization. Dialogue assumes participants from EJA - young and adult education- to be on an equal level even in the presence of difference. In his literacy work, Freire required teacher-facilitators to co-investigate the most important themes in the lives of students. These themes were codified into pictures and brought to dialogue that animated the re-creation of knowledge of participants’ world in the process of learning how to read, achieving the meaning of the word. The objective of this approach was not to reproduce “banking” education but to promote revolutionary emancipation of individual and society. Freire developed his work in life context at the state of Pernambuco, in the challenging circumstances – socially, historically, and geographically – of the Brazilian Northeast Region. He experienced poverty and hunger and was lucky in his access to education thanks to the efforts of his mother. He rose through the ranks of civil service, serving at state and national levels, addressing the literacy and emancipatory needs of the population, particularly adults in rural areas. Exiled during the military dictatorship in Brazil, Freire lived in Chile, the United States, and Switzerland, where he worked on education projects worldwide.

Artificial General Intelligence Is Not as Imminent as You
Might Think
To the average person, it must seem as if the field
of artificial intelligence is making immense progress.
According to the press releases, and some of the more
________ media accounts, OpenAI’s DALL-E 2 can seemingly
create spectacular images from any text; another OpenAI
system called GPT-3 can talk about just about anything; and
a system called Gato that was released in May by DeepMind,
a division of Alphabet, seemingly worked well on every task
the company could throw at it. One of DeepMind’s highlevel executives even went so far as to brag that in the quest
for artificial general intelligence (AGI), AI that has the
flexibility and resourcefulness of human intelligence, “The
Game is Over!” And Elon Musk said recently that he would
be surprised if we didn’t have artificial general intelligence
by 2029.
Don’t be fooled. Machines may someday be as
smart as people, and perhaps even smarter, but the game is
far from over. There is still an immense amount of work to
be done in making machines that truly can comprehend and
reason about the world around them. What we really need
right now is less posturing and more basic research.
To be sure, there are indeed some ways in which AI
truly is making progress—synthetic images look more and
more realistic, and speech recognition can often work in
noisy environments—but we are still light-years away from
general purpose, human-level AI that can understand the
true meanings of articles and videos, or deal with
unexpected obstacles and interruptions. We are still stuck
on precisely the same challenges that academic scientists
having been pointing out for years: getting AI to be reliable
and getting it to cope with unusual circumstances.

Text CB1A2-II
There’s one fact that seems to stand out for anyone who has read Rama Gheerawo’s 2022 book, Creative leadership: born from design. It likely sticks with people because it seems so absurd as to border on very bleak comedy, but also because it reveals a fundamental truth about how unnervingly simple us humans can be.
In the very first chapter of the book, we learn that a study of Fortune 500 companies showed that (in America), something as arbitrary as height can be the key to the C-suite: 4% of adult men in the general US population are 6’2” or taller, but 30% in the CEO sample reached those heights. It feels pathetically caveman-like that even now, in the 21st century, we implicitly place power in the hands of those who are taller than us — or that those taller than us have a natural propensity to get that power for themselves.
For Gheerawo, issues around leadership really came to a head around 15 years ago, he says, when he found himself “really disillusioned” with the constant and innumerable ways the world excluded certain groups of people, and how much of that could be solved if there was far more willingness from decision-makers to involve design early on as a key tool for problem-solving.

M .O. Obimpeh and J.A. Dankwa. Public administration – public management interface: how different is the “management” from the “administration”? Internet: (adapted)
Text CB1A2-I
The quest for universal administrative standards to
promote the effective application of public laws and policies
gave birth to the field of public administration. Woodrow Wilson
argued for a distinction between politics and administration,
arguing that the former was more concerned with democracy,
justice, and equality, while the latter was more concerned with
efficiency, as he postulated that “administration lies beyond the
proper domain of politics; administrative questions are not
political questions” (Wilson, 1887).
According to Waldo (1948), the means and measurements
of efficiency were the same for all administrations: democracy, if
it were to survive, could not afford to ignore the lessons of
centralization, hierarchy and discipline. Bureaucracy as an
organisational type has seen its heyday in the field of public
administration, owing to Woodrow Wilson’s Transfer of
Administrative Principles.
That notwithstanding, the field has gone through
paradigmatic evolution over time by a quest for management
paradigm derived from the discipline of business administration.
The management approach is said to hold the promise of future
public sector reform, replacing the administrative approach
traditionally provided by public administration. A new concept
arises when the management perspective is combined with an
emphasis on the public sector: public management.
Courses and programmes, as well as whole academic
institutions and colleges, are adapting by switching from the term
“public administration” to “public management”. Considering
the growing demands for efficiency in the public sector, the
transition from a public administration to a public management
framework seems to be the right step.

Making Sure Students’ Struggles Are Productive
By Peg Grafwallner
While we know every learning challenge is an
empowering opportunity to grow, we also know that
message might sometimes be lost on our students.
Those learning challenges can cause some students to
become frustrated and shut down from the learning.
We need to empower our students to celebrate those
learning challenges and help them realize that obstacles
and setbacks are a valued part of the classroom
culture. We need to create a not-yet classroom where
productive struggle is encouraged and students see
themselves as capable learners and fearless risk-takers.
The not-yet approach is all about designing and creating
an authentic classroom culture that encourages the
process of learning while accepting that setbacks and
obstacles are part of that process.
EMBRACING THE STRUGGLE
Let’s start with productive struggle. According to
Jo Boaler, professor at Stanford Graduate School of
Education, “If you aren’t struggling, you aren’t really
learning. When we’re struggling and making mistakes,
those are the very best times for our brains.”
As educators we understand and appreciate the
importance of that struggle. We have often struggled
ourselves to learn something new. But because that
new learning was important to us and because we had
support in case we weren’t successful, we continued until
we achieved our goal.
So how do we create a classroom community where
students value the importance of that struggle and where
they see themselves as not-yet learners?
Here are four suggestions to help you create a
not-yet classroom.
1. Create a vigorous learning intention:
Scaffold success criteria that give students the opportunity
to make sense of what they’re supposed to know and
be able to do. Give students a chance to ask questions
about the learning intention and time to paraphrase it so
that it makes sense to them.
In my book Ready to Learn: The FRAME Model for
Optimizing Student Success, I explain, “When students
paraphrase the learning intention and success criteria,
it gives teachers a chance to discover what their students
know or understand about the learning intention.”
This discovery is critical because if students find
paraphrasing the learning intention a challenge,
this could indicate a gap in the students’ learning.
Teachers, then, can address this gap and, if necessary,
rewrite the success criteria so that the students have the
opportunity to overcome the deficit.
Scaffolding the success criteria provides a means to
motivate students and gives students an opportunity to
self-assess their understanding and determine whether
they’ve achieved that particular criterion. As students
move through the success criteria, there’s a sense of
empowerment – they know they’re heading successfully
toward the fulfillment of the learning intention. If they
haven’t met a specific criterion, however, the teacher can
dedicate time so that students are able to work in small
groups with their peers or one-on-one with their teacher
for more support in meeting that criterion.
2. Eliminate the word failure from your vocabulary:
As an example, if your essay directions asked students to
write a thesis paragraph and a student turned in a body
paragraph, did the student fail the assignment?
The student fell short of the goal of writing a thesis
paragraph, but there certainly was some degree of
understanding, since the student was able to write an
analytical body paragraph. Make allowances for that and
offer positive guidance.
3. Be transparent in your introduction of the work:
Don’t sugarcoat the assignment or project by telling
your students it’s “so easy” or that everyone will “get it.”
On the contrary, tell your students the task will be difficult,
but the work they’re about to do is worthy of their time
and their talent.
Let students know they’ll encounter setbacks and
obstacles as a part of learning that task, but with support
from you, their classmates, and various teacher-chosen
resources, students will be able to meet that challenge
and work toward mastery of the goal.
4. Give students the time and space they need to be
successful: Create learning opportunities to normalize
development and empower students to realize that
learning takes time and that mastery isn’t the end of
growth. We’re all working within parameters of schedules,
and those schedules dictate the time spent on learning.
Often those schedules are determined by mandates
beyond our control, but there are ways we can offer time
and space within our own classrooms.
To add in extra time, maybe the lesson covers two class
periods instead of one; or maybe the teacher is able to
co-teach with another educator to assist students who
might need extra help, therefore moving the learning at a
more structured pace.
To offer extra space, perhaps the teacher and students
could utilize the library or auditorium to give students
more room to create groups or pods of learning;
or maybe the teacher is able to create learning
situations that move beyond the classroom walls through
the use of virtual field trips. We’ve seen the curiosity and
wonder in our students as they devour something that
piques their interest because they have the time and the
space to dig deep into something of relevance to them.
Where each student is on their learning journey at any
given time is a result of situations and experiences that
might often be beyond our control. We know that high
expectations don’t mean anything if the learning process
doesn’t support achieving them.
Designing classrooms and routines that normalize
productive struggle as part of the learning process gives
students the opportunity to meet those high expectations
within a supportive yet challenging classroom community.
The conjunction therefore in “or maybe the teacher is
able to co-teach with another educator to assist students
who might need extra help, therefore moving the learning
at
a more structured pace” can be replaced by
