Powerpoints Reflection

I can use powerpoints in my classroom for my students. I really enjoyed learning about powerpoints this week even though i've known how to use them since i was 15 years old. I also enjoyed helping and teaching others in our class who have never used powerpoint before.

I think powerpoints can be used as a tool to teach any grade level. I think the group powerpoint assignment will be a lot of fun to create and even post on my UEN account. I have learned how to make powerpoints interactive for my students and discovered it would be a great way for me to incorperate a medium that my students are comfortable with namely the computer into my teaching in the classroom. Although i won't use it all the time it will be a great resource to use to have a variety of tools for my students to enjoy learning the concepts i will be teaching them. Until we started using them in our class room i didn't really connect using powerpoint activities for younger students. But as we are using them in these group projects that a teacher can utilize powerpoints for any age group as long as the students are old enough to use a computer.

Computers are so COOL!

P.S. I wouldn't have said that in July of this year but being in this class has deepend my apprecitaion for living in a time when information and resources are right at the edge of my finger tips. I just never knew where to find the right resources and now i do.
