Reflection 8

What?
This week I learned how to make a presentation with the pictures that i took last week. My partner and i chose the topic living and non-living things. So we had pictures that went along with that and put them into a slide show.
So What?
Well with what i learned it can help me as a student these next few years. I will be able to make good presentations for groups that i am in as well as for different classes. I also think that it will benifit the people that i am going to work with in the program. So that they know that i am good nd confident in using a camera and making presentations.
I think that by learning this technology i will be able to preform better in my classes and put pictures on assignments to make them more enticing. The technology will be good for me now as well as when i am in the schools teaching. I think i can help the other teachers that i will work with and show them a new for of teaching.
Now What?
As for my future career in teaching i think that i will be able to use this in the classroom for sure. I don't think that i will be able to have my third graders use cameras and make a slide who out of them. But i do think that a class project would be really fun for the kids. If i brought in my camera and let each kid take pictures of certain things to teach them about a certian subject would be a really good and effective way of teaching.
I just find that teaching with pictures is so powerful. It engages the students when they can see what the teachers are talking about. That is so important to me, to have my kids understand what they are being taught.
Video Response
Ah i loved it! Everything that was said was such good information. I love powerpoints but they can get overwhelming with to much on them. I really liked when he pointed out that people have to much bullit points on one slide. I think my favorite was spell check. I mean really, we have it so why don't some people use it?! I am glad that i watched that clip and will always remember what he said. With that, i really hope that i have spelled everything right...:)
