Final Thoughts

I felt that I have met my goals for this second weekend. I came into this class with knowledge of PowerPoint. There were a few things I wanted to learn in PP. I wanted to learn how to better use the animation. I wanted to have a presentation loop and the animation come on their own without me having to click the mouse. I learned that! I was so excited about that. This weekend I also played with the program Kidspiration. I made a worksheet comparing the Creek and Cherokee Indians. I am moving to a new grade next year and wanted to have something I could contribute to the veteran teachers. Kidspiration I felt wasn't really kid friendly for the age group I teach. I feel I would spend more time correcting mistakes than the students learning. I feel that I have learned much in this class. I feel that I have greatly added to my knowledge of technology and I am so excited to take it to my class. I plan on spending the rest of my summer creating PowerPoints for the students!
