Final+Power+Point+Project

Reflection of Final Power Point Project

1. Explain your project and the reason you selected it.

I chose the Water Cycle as the subject for my project. I recently took both a geology and oceanography class and really enjoyed the sections dealing with the water cycle. I also decided that it would be a fun subject to put into a PowerPoint for a lesson.

2. Describe how you are going to use it in the classroom and what students will learn.

I would use it as a learning station where the students would take turns working through the PowerPoint and then do a worksheet to practice what they have learned. I would expect the students to learn the different stages of the water cycle from precipitation, evaporation, condensation, vapor, and the locations where it is stored.

3. Explain the benefits of using an interactive power point for creating lessons.

There are quite a number of benefits of using an interactive power point. You can use a power point to help teach about any lesson subject. It is also a great way for children who learn by kinetic, visual and audio methods. Using a power point is a efficient way put all the information into an understandable and simple form.

4. What concepts did you learn that will help you when incorporating power point in your teaching?

What concepts have I learned? Well I have learned a few of them. First, is to make sure that the PowerPoint created and that the content is directed toward the grade level being taught. Another concept is to make sure that you keep the interest of the students but don't have so much information or animation on the screen that the children will get confused.

5. What Worked Well

I really felt that the animations really were easy once I understood what I had to do to get them to work. I also really liked how easy it was to add text to any slide I wanted.

6. What did not work well?

Well I really had a hard time figuring out how to embed the Youtube video into the power point. It also did take me a while to figure out that I needed to set the animations to come in after a previous click and how long I wanted it to wait. I did figure it out finally.

7. Name 3 new things you learned to do in PowerPoint for this project.

I learned to do the following:

1. How to create action buttons with hyperlinks. 2. How to embed a video into a PowerPoint. <span style="color: #0000ff; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 150%;">3. Last of all I learned how to maneuver through the animations and use them.
