Hello from Powerpoint Central!
Well gang, I have made three interesting powerpoint presentations this last week (or so), and had two experiences with the program worth mentioning.
The first were the presentations I made for my Bible as Lit class. One, I made slides of Exodus, focusing on the plagues, the Tabernacle and the maps of Moses' journey. I found some really cool images from "google images" and was able to plug them in. I still do not know how to make animation or download film clips. I do know how to add music and voice over though.
The second one was also on Exodus, but it focused more some of the big high lights of the story. I was recapping the story this time with deliberate contrasting images. I was also teaching (or guiding) the students through the idea of how they may wish to develop their own Exodus investigation. I have two students who are making a movie, one student who is writing a song, and several students who are creating works of art. I did spend some time on showing folk art and "non traditional images" of the Exodus story. I hope that my Powerpoint helped encourage the students in their investigations.
The last presentation i did was for a "fostering wellness" class. Our group project was on Cyrstal Meth. It was a real drag! The stories and images were just heart breaking! Alos, the classroom was NOT a 21st century class! We had such a slow dial up that a student had to connect the computer to her phone. On top of that, the teacher had some video she wanted to see, but she dropped the tape, and it broke! DVDs now! Well, I know it was her tape, and we all feel sorry because it was one that may not even be on DVD now. A drag for her, a loss for us as well.
