Storyboard for the New Topic

Karen Lee Sau Wah and I would like to change the topic of group assignment to reduced bearing. This is a topic in Form 1 Geography. Some students fail to remember that directions are measured from the north or the south in the reduced bearing, and the reduced bearing should be expressed as Nx°E, Nx°W, Sx°E and Sx°W, where x is greater than 0 but less than 90.

Please find the storyboard of the reduced bearing at the following link.

Taking the advantage of visual presentation to re-enforce the learning of the reduced bearing is a good idea. I like the idea of interactivity mentioned in your storyboard. My only suggestion is, in addition to allow student to enter the reduced bearing, the visual also display how the correct reduced bearing is arrived, just to reassure the student's answer, if it is correct, or to show the correct method of getting the bearing, if the answer is incorrect.

Regards,

Theresa

Thanks for your advice, Theresa. After looking at the eight points posted on Daniel's blog about the follow-up on storyboards, my group has reivsed the storyboard with the target of having a single representation displayed on one go on the screen. Therefore, we have to give up some of the ideas in the first storyboard.

Dear Jaco,

The initial storyboard is very detailed. I understand the concept behind reducing bearing. Probably this could be your rational in supporting your storybaord.

Thanks,
Jennifer
