There is soooo much out there!

This week I was able to use pre-made presentations to enrich the kindergarten curriculum. I found a great site for science by the University of Illinois on insects and a powerpoint jeopardy game to reinforce shapes in math! The kids LOVED interacting with the internet thanks to my new laptop!

I am enjoying learning more. I have not played with Powerpoint much, so I am excited to see what I can do.

PowerPoint - Week 5

Hola Amigas!!
This week (and the following three weeks) we will concentrate in PowerPoint. There is a lot to learn and we will have time to cover every one of the goodies of this software. What you learned in the previous classes with Word (project gallery, templates, insert picture, tables, etc) apply to all the Microsoft Office software (Word, PowerPoint, Excel, Entourage/Outlook)
It is important to understand that in every technology class you need to have a project to work on. I decided to give you a TalkingBook or DigitalStorytelling because I saw interest in many of you and because once you learn how to do this... you are ready for any kind of presentation you want to do. We will talk A LOT about slide show presentations and the uses of them :)

Do not desperate! Hang in there! There is a lot to learn and the good thing is... nobody is rushing us :)

You cannot download documents in a blog, but I will be more than happy to get them in a server if you want to share your book when is done. In the meantime, keep working and playing. I will be at DMP Thursday morning and after school. I will be attending the Epson training tomorrow, so there will not be formal classes this week.

Please, post comments, frustrations :( and anything you want as a comment here. That will be your assignment this week.

More tutorials here and more to come...
