Time: An hour or so
Summary: Using PowerPoint to create a virtual tour about their lives would be something creative that the kids could do. They could either take pictures on a digital camera, or they could find pictures online that represent themselves and where they come from. I think this activity would be a great “Getting to Know You” project for the beginning of the year. It will also be good practice adding images onto presentations.

Time: Depends – not too long though!
Summary: I have just started adding sound in my PowerPoint presentations. Every time you transfer slides or show a bullet/picture, you can add a sound as well. For the presentations I have created, the kids have really responded to the sounds. Anything that holds their attention is a good thing!

Summary:
One of my favorite new features to use while creating a power point presentation is the custom animation feature. When working on a power point presentation, right click on the object that you want to animate. Then left click on the custom animation tool. The custom animation window will appear to the right of your power point window. Go to the Add Effect button and click on the motion paths button and then on the draw custom path button. Draw any type of motion that you want for your presentation.

Summary: Microsoft's Power Point has become the best tool I have for lecturing. I try to find interesting design templates and to look for appropriate (and if possible - entertaining) pictures to help provide visuals for the information I am trying to convey. Luckily, Power Point gives several options for page layouts, so I usually pick one that has text on one side and space for a visual on the other. It makes it really easy to structure the lecture so that only the main points are emphasized without it getting to wordy. I tend to underline the most important vocabulary words or concepts, so students can quickly see what needs to go in the notes. I plan to start adding more hyperlinks and sounds to add more texture, but I can honestly say Power Point has changed the way I teach.

I just read Susan's entry and I agree with what she said about PowerPoint. I know it has been around for awhile, but it definitely has changed how I teach as well. I even had my third-graders create a 5 slide ppt presentation on study habits as a fun way to get in the spirit of good test-taking strategies to slowly prepare for AIMS, which is coming up shortly. They really enjoyed having the freedom to insert graphics and format the look and transition for their slideshow. My next challenge is to try and incorporate spreadsheets into my teaching. If anyone has any suggestions, I would love to hear. Ofcourse third-grade appropriate.
