10 Lots of Powerpoint

Making a family feud powerpoint was really fun! I learned how to edit an existing powerpoint. I learned how to change the layering of different parts of each slide. I learned how to create a countdown. There were so many new aspects that I was interested in that it didn't even feel like a task. There was one difficult part of the powerpoint where I couldn't hide the answers to one of the questions, and then I couldn't get the answers to show. Next time I would definitely have to work that kink out. In the future, I can definitely create games to review with my students in an playful way.




After a semester of looking at everyone else's blogs, my favorite posts were probably the videos for creating better powerpoints. I honestly would rather watch a video or look at pictures and see what the person who posted it thought, than to read paragraph after paragraph of plain black font. The videos were also very useful to look back on, and convenient. 

I think it would be really neat to learn how to use a photo editor app. In the powerpoint skill check I had a really hard time finding the pictures I imagined as I read the story. If I was able to edit photos, I could create the images I needed, and my powerpoint would have turned out a lot nicer.

I would like to continue working on blogs and powerpoint after this class. I really have enjoyed working on these this semester. In the future, I would like to make effective powerpoints for my students, and maybe even test the flipped classroom. In the future I will have more time to create the powerpoint and make them look exactly how I would like.

  1. Although flipped classrooms are traditional associated with videos, power points can be equally beneficial. We used Jing to create the audio files, which can be uploaded to your class website, our you could use VoiceThread for a narrated presentation that results in a link for posting. The added benefit of Voice Thread is that students can comment directly in the presentation for a more interactive experience. The downside of VT is that it eliminates your animations.
