Interactive Powerpoint

Try something different with your students.  Instead of putting together ordinary PowerPoint presentations, make some that are interactive.  Students could watch your powerpoint from any computer and go through it at their pace.  When it is interactive students actively participate in the experience and are not passive readers.  The learning process is active, so it only makes sense to engage students in active learning experiences that require them to react and respond.  I created an interactive powerpoint that includes two video segments from United Streaming so students can have a nice visual represenation of how bacteria are helpful and harmful to humans.  This gives them something new and better besides reading everything from the screen…

Powerpoint 2007 is new to many and will take a lot of time getting used to.  It is a bit frustrating at first when you know what you want to do but don’t know the proper operation for that setting.  There are some new neat tools that a teacher can use with his/her students, i.e. movies, animations, hyperlinks, and many more.  Be sure to check it and have some fun!
