PowerPoint
PowerPoint is something I have heard about a lot in the classroom as i grew up. Little did I know how much could be done with this simple tool. Not only can you make presentation, slide shows, and other neat and entertaining presentations but you can also but together books, make quizzes that flow nicely with the book telling what answer is right and wrong, and much more. PowerPoint is something I believe many teachers use in their classroom but not in as many ways as they should. Instead of just clicking page to page a teacher could make a book that the students could read and take home so they can study. There are so many ways to make pictures appear in different ways and with different sounds transitions, and such. Each page can look as though it is Floating or moving from one to another but with motion and smoothness.

I was also amazed about how much I did not know about powerpoint. I have used it for so many years and for presentations in many classes. I am so excited I learned so many new ways to use it, especially in the classroom. I think my favorite is making the quiz, it is so fun and I love using all the pictures. It is good for a kindergarten class because you can record your voice to read it for them so they dont get stuck. It is a way for them to be intependant while taking a quiz which will prepare them for the following years. Also, it is a way to provide encouragement when they get a question right.
Wow, I did not even realize how many things I liked about the quiz. My most recent post was on powerpoints in a kindergarten classroom if you want to check it out and comment on it.
