PowerPoint

This week we learned all sorts of stuff in power point. I was taught how to go through and put links on images or text, and not just to sites on the internet but also how to link to other pages within the PowerPoint. So when I create my PowerPoint for my assignment next week I will be able to link between slides and this will help me be more organized.
Also in PowerPoint there are plenty of ways to do graphs. The options are way more than just line graphs or pie charts. It has so many different graphics that I can't wait to explore all of the different options that PowerPoint offers.
Also all of the slides don't have to look the same. I can change the layout and the color and put different Word Art on every page. This is a great tool so that my PowerPoint wont be boring. I know that grade school kids can get distracted very easily, so if I have viberant colors and difference between slides it will help them stay more alert to what I will be teaching. Also a major plus to using a slide show to present information is that it actively ingages the students, for example pictures help students who are visual learners.
