Post #8 or Powerpoint Me In the Right Direction

A paragraph discussing and critiquing your own PowerPoint 2 assignment using the concepts addressed in Chapter 8. Work in some screen shots as examples.

A paragraph about how you might integrate peripherals and non-computer audio-visual technologies in your classroom. How might you use them with computer-based technologies?

A paragraph on new skills you acquired in the last week that you think will be especially useful to you in your educational career and why you think so.

My Powerpoint game is very rudimentary. Though, with Powerpoint, as well as many computer-based creation programs, it is very easy for anyone to make a rudimentary "anything" and still have it come across as professionally or at least whole-heartedly done. Of course, the material presented is basic, but rather irrelevant to grasping how to actually use the program. I used Powerpoint within its limited capabilites and am satisfied with the result of my game. I do not plan to use Powerpoint that often as a teacher, so I am comfortable with the extent to which I know how to use it.

Again, I just don't plan to find much use for advanced technology in my class. This may change later as I start to experience new things in an ever-changing world. But, I believe that the power of the human voice and human emotion can be used to engage every student.

If I ever do find myself in a situation where my students ask if they can play a game, or if I feel they are deserving of a game for extra credit points, then I might use the lessons I have learned.
