Trial of slideshare.net

Okay, so I am trying some new technologies. One would be www.slideshow.net the other two are new uses for powerpoint. I will discuss these more after I see if this works for me. This first one is a kiosk powerpoint presentation. I have always wondered how to make jeopardy games, in the past I have downloaded other peoples games and by trial and error just changed their slides. This is great knowing how to actually make my own kiosk project. My mentor teacher also wanted me to get him up to speed on how to make a jeopardy game because he was doing the same thing.

There will be other ways to use the technology as well, I could easily envision more interactive activities with power point kiosk if I had a one on one computer ratio for my classroom. Although, I think directed instruction is still invaluable. I could see the possibility for a great test review made through kiosk.

Flip book could also be very useful. In fact I used the mitosis powerpoint from a previous MACER to show the process of mitosis. I was tempted to take off the slide changes though, because it moved so fast I could not describe everything that was happening fast enough. Guess that is what they mean by a picture being worth a thousand words.

Many thanks Liz for leading the workshop. I know I was not scheduled to be there, but it was helpful.
