PowerPoint Ungh

Upon starting this PowerPoint project I thought "oh boy, here we go agian, when will my professors understand that we already know how to do this stuff." So, class started and Mr. Smith started to show us things I already knew, and then he started showing us how to hide slides and how to hyperlink our slides. This sparked and intrest in me and I was starting to like this project. I was able to upload a video on to my powerpoint. As of the hyperlinking it was a mess for the first two days, but I got a hang of it and my presentation ran smoothly. I thought in the past that I would never use powerpoint unless it was required in my classes, but now since I have learn more ways to use it;I may use PowerPoint as a tool for teaching.
 

 
We were asked to come up with a lesson plan with objectives. My objective was to teach my 5th grade Special Ed. students about synonyms and antonyms. I created my narravtive that explained how I would do this, and then moved on to my PowerPoint. While I was doing my PowerPoint I was getting fustrated because I could get slides to link to eachother, but I later found out that it was the computer I was on. If you are wondering what hyperlinking is check out this website Hyper Linking 101.

I have always been a good preformer, since I was a child I have been acting in plays, musicals, and short skits. I have always been comfortable infront of an audience, but sometimes infront of a small group I get super nervous, but after presenting my PowerPoint I felt like this little girl. I felt like my PowerPoint was amazing because I really didn't know how to do all the new stuff that Mr. Smith showed us in class. I thought that alot of my classmates PowerPoint's were amazing, I didn't know how to do half the stuff that they did, but I still enjoyed watching them.
