A new twist on an old concept

This week I learned all about creating a PowerPoint slide show. I had used PowerPoint many times in the past but there were still a few new concepts I had never used. For example, in the lab I learned how to rotate a picture and add shadows to pictures. I’m not sure when any of this information will be useful to me but I learned something new at any rate. While I was making my “All About Me” slide show, I found myself having a lot of fun with it. I actually made it a week earlier than I needed to just because I enjoy playing around with pictures and colors and words. Because of my interest, it made it easier to learn about. I think PowerPoint is a great tool that I could use in my future classroom. I could make a slide show for my students to read notes off of or my students could use it to present projects in class. Grading a student’s PowerPoint would be a great way to evaluate them as opposed to evaluating their test scores.
