This PowerPoint discusses the steps to create a simple Powerpoint for training students in positional concepts. The instructional theory of presenting one concept and not examples is based on Carnine and Engelmann.

1. Directions Creating PowerPoint slides for training concepts. Dr. Cheryl A. Wissick University of South Carolina

8. Final Example: Introducing Concepts The boys are sitting on the bench.

9. Example with one photo: Understanding of one concept. Are the boys OFF the bench?

12. At this point you have two photos on the slide but they probably do not fit nicely! Resize the pasted or inserted photo to fit. Add a new caption. Locate an opposite photo and copy or insert the photo on that page. Which one shows the boys on the bench?

13. Final Example: Testing concepts Comparing two concepts Which one shows the boys ON the bench?

16. Example: Independent Practice click on the pictures As the boys got ready to leave they stood in front of the bench. Click on the picture that shows the boys in FRONT

20. Create clear, invisible buttons on top of each picture. Create “no effect” buttons to have spaces where students might click so the show will not advance. Where is the sign in the middle?
