My Power Point Presentation on using technology in the classroom.

1. By: Brittany Stewart

2. People use presentation software to create slide shows and other types of visually oriented presentations that can be displayed on a monitor or projected onto a screen. These programs allow users to insert text, clip art, photographs, and audio into a sequence of slides and to set up custom navigation between slides. Most also include tools for creating animations. The runaway favorites for presentation software were PowerPoint, for older students, and KidPix, and HyperStudio for those in primary and elementary grades.

4. This is an example of the services that KIDPIX has to offer. Large colorful 3D cursors. Bigger buttons for small kid hands.

7. A stack is a collection of cards that make up all or part of a project. A card is basically an index or note card that holds information. Anyone can do so many simple things with their stacks to help them perform projects. The difference between a HyperStudio stack and a regular stack of index cards is that the cards in a HyperStudio project do not have to be viewed in a linear manner. The viewer does not have to access the information in a sequential order; but can “jump around” from one card to another.

10. PowerPoint is both easy to learn (or relearn) and to use. The toolbar tools are easily accessible, clearly labeled, and relatively foolproof. Most important, no action is "undoable," so you can correct your mistakes easily -- even if you save them. In other words, you won't spend several hours creating the perfect presentation only to find you can't correct a typo, insert an additional slide, or add an animation.
