Today I completed my PowerPoint presentation for a third grade unit on Australia. I worked on changing the backgrounds, colors and adding bullets. Bullets were the same as in word processing so that was not difficult. It had been a long time since I had worked with PowerPoint but it was pretty easy to get the hang of it once getting into it again.
I really enjoyed completing this practice. I think students would enjoy using this tool as well. They would especially enjoy the transitions, animation and colors. The project I completed would be an example project that I used when completing a unit on Australia. I used to have the students create a book in which each page of the book discussed something about Australia that we had learned - geography, holidays, food, home life, language and sports. In the end, they had a nice book about Australia. I like the update to using technology for a similar project!
I am still working on how to post my PowerPoint here. I will do that when I figure it out!!
Update: Here is my PowerPoint now on GoogleDocs presentation. In importing this, it lost some of the animation and transitions. I put them back on using the ones available but the choices were limited.
Also, here is my updated Skills Checklist as well.
