PowerPoint

What?
This week we discussed how to show students how to make a PowerPoint presentation using step-by-step instructions.

So What?
Being able to understand how these programs work now and how to use them will help me in my future classroom. Being able give instructions and know how to follow those instructions, I will be able to help my own peers and classmates use it as well.

It took me awhile to understand the assignment but once I did, it was an easy concept. Having these skills will also help me in other programs and advance further with my computer skills.

Now What?
Being able to understand how this program works, I can teach the process to my students to help them become more technologically independent. In my classroom, I will be able to use PowerPoint to teach my students concepts in the Core Curicullum to help them better understand what they must learn.

I hope that someday, I will be able to encourage my students to explore things that they are uncomfortable with and help them learn. I want them to be able to feel like they are safe and that they can learn from me.

Video
It was interesting how much information Jordan knew about chickens and how interested she was in them. I never knew chickens could lay green and pink eggs. It was cool to see the different species she had and how much she knew about each of them. I liked how she incooperated different subjects into the video and what she had learned from those subjects that applied to chickens.
