Final+Project

Final Project for EDEL 2200  1) I did my final project for this class using the power point program. The topic I chose was weather for a second grade level. Weather has always fascinated me. I researched pictures, information, and videos connecting to the topic of weather. 2) In the classroom I will be able to display this power point using a projector, or a Smart board. I could also put this power point on a blog page or Wikispace I create for my class. By doing this the students will become more informed and aware of the weather that goes on around the world. 3) The benefits for using an interactive power point are that, children will be more involved in the learning than just hearing the teacher lecture, and then students then can also learn more on how to use power point. Interactive power points can attract more attention from the students. 4) Concepts I learned from this experience that I can incorporate into my future classroom are, first of all, I learned how to make quizzes on power point. This is an activity I had no idea that the power point program had the capabilities in doing. Another concept I learned was how to put videos on power point, or hyperlink to the website of the videos. This is valuable to know so that when making a power point I can use different resources to add to the power point. 5) What worked well is that I was able to figure out how to use power point by either using knowledge from this Edel 2200 class or by searching the internet and finding how to videos to answer my questions. Power point is any easy program to figure out. 6) What didn’t work well was that I was not able to download a video to my power point. I had to hyperlink the video that I wanted. Also, my power point program at home is a older than the school's and it did not have the same functions that school’s had. 7) Three things that I learned while doing this assignment are, first how to hyperlink and make action buttons. Secondly, I learned how to make quizzes on a power point. And last of all, I learned how to add videos to power points.
