Power point will be a useful tool that will easily enable students to work collaboratively on projects that are meaningful outside of the classroom. In order to support students in their learning journey we need to provide learning experiences that enhance and support student's social development and participation. Student's need to feel that they have contributed in a meaningful way to the learning process to obtain positive learning outcomes and a sense of personal achievement.
As a student, I felt that I had achieved a great deal by the time I finished creating my power point presentation. The presentation was fun and easy to create, I found the most challenging thing was to come up with an idea. Putting music to the power point was a little challenging, as I had difficulty finding the right process to make the music play across all of the slides. Once I had found this feature it was relatively simple to achieve. I feel that my digital immigrant status restricts me on occasion, although it was certainly engaging. (I just hope I can upload it for you all to watch)
Cheers Trish

Hi Trish, your power point journey sounds much like my final years at high school, once I had an idea all I wanted was the perfect presentation but I could never get it quite right.... power point gives us heaps of options to choose from when we are choosing a way to present a topic. I'd love to see the work that you've done. When you get up to uploading I'll have to come back and have another look.
ReplyDeleteHi Trish,
ReplyDeleteI also found the PowerPoint presentations to be a fun way to present any type of information. They will become more of a useful tool within teaching in the years to come. As while I was at school we only used PowerPoint if we did computer subjects which is a shame as all students could of benifited from using this program to demonstrate and present assignments to the class during oral presentation. Because PowerPoint gives you so much choices within animations, timing, backgrounds, sound effects just to name a few only allows the imagination to run wild and become extremly creative and designing a wonderful entertaining presentation to engage any auidence.
