10:30 - Room 201 Burkhiser Technology Complex
Because facilities do not allow for a practical hands-on examination, this objective test is offered for students interested and experienced in rural energy. This examination will cover all aspects of energy generation and use in small communities and rural environments. Questions may be asked about traditional forms of energy, however major emphasis will be placed on alternative and renewable sources of energy which can be produced on an appropriate scale for western rural environments. Students should have a basic understanding of electricity, power, and transmission of energy as questions related to these topics will also be included in the test.

Teaching Presentation
Ann Petersen

10:30 - Room 103 Old Admin
This authentic assessment process is limited to juniors and seniors who are interested in pursuing a career in elementary, middle school, or high school teaching. The presenter will prepare a teaching presentation based on five (math, science, social studies, FCS, ITE, etc.) vocabulary words from an academic area of interest to the student and appropriate to the level they wish to eventually teach. The teaching presentation will be a maximum of 15 minutes in length and include a combination of multiple learning styles as well as multimedia to teach their concept. Consider including current appropriate popular technology to help teach or reinforce your lesson. Presenters will use the Chadron State College lesson plan format to plan their lesson and bring 4 copies (one for them and three for the judges). Presenters will actively engage their audience in their lesson. Personal Computers running Windows, Microsoft Word, and PowerPoint are available as well as having a SmartBoard in the room. The project may be brought in on a flash (thumb) drive, internet address, or ftp from a server. The presentation will be judged on the presenter’s animation, interaction with audience, use of multiple styles, creativity, use of multimedia, and reinforcement of the concept. A committee of Education Department faculty will view the presentations and rank them using the criteria listed above. For more information, please contact Dr. Ann Petersen at (308) 432-6337.
