Favorite Technology

In review of all of the technology we have used in this class, I like Power Point the best.  I am not sure if its because its more familiar to me or what.  I think I can integrate several other technologies with it.  I think it can be easily used in the classroom with group projects, teacher lesson plans on the smart board, and much more.  Its a way to capitalize on creativity in the student's mind.I will be using this a lot. 

WebQuest on Muscular and Skeletal System for 3rd Grade Science

I hope I did this WebQuest correctly.  It was tedious, but fun at the same time...if that makes sense.  I was challenged because I was on the wrong track having made a power point presentation for a 7th grade class versus an elementary grade.  I had to go to the drawing board so it would be linked to the final unit plan and flow into the WebQuest.  If you want to look at it, see this site: http://bodypartsbykeisha.pbworks.com/w/page/32597235/Title

Check out this SlideShare Presentation: I was able to go back and get the video to play on slideshare per Dr K's instructions.  You may need to advance each slide with the individual arrow versus just clicking on the "play" arrow.  It seems to work better this way.

The different challenges of the powerpoint assignment

I tell you the power point assignment was quite a different experience since I normally don't have any issues doing power point presentations.  Integrating the slideshow into slideshare was a little frustrating.  My power point application kept telling me to enable the macros  so it would play the videos.  Then it told me to save it as a power point presentation with enable macros.  When I went to put it onto slideshare, it didn't play the videos.  I kept getting frustrated and thought I was doing something wrong.  Some of the pros of these presentations are that the visual learner may have their attention grabbed.  They may also enjoy looking at the colorful presentation as opposed to just reading the text.  The cons are that it can take a lot of time to construct the presentation.  If you want to include sound, animation, etc, it is even more involved.  Keeping it simple seems more of the way to go.  When I begin to use this in my classroom, I may elect to delete the sound and video.
