Blog Post #8

For my PowerPoint 2 assignment, I did the Jeopardy version. I am not fully certain how well mine fits the things addressed in Chapter 8. I am of the belief that it fits very well the type of thing that it is supposed to be. I chose to do four different topics: Art, History, Literature, and Classical Music. The questions were geared towards 9^th graders and they were one, concise statement with four possible answers.

I am still not sure about how I would integrate non-computer audio-visual technologies in my classroom. I think that much of this has to do with what the school I’m working at has available for me. I would like to think that I would be able to provide my students with absolutely everything, but I think, realistically, not every school has everything.

I do think, though, that the things I’ve learned about using PowerPoint will be very useful. I think that the biggest thing I learned was how much time PowerPoint takes. I think that one of the most difficult things to learn, whether you’re going into teaching or not, is time management. It’s definitely the most difficult thing to learn, for me. And so it was really helpful to get a feel for what it takes to make one.
