Who would of thought putting a youtube video in a power point would be so difficult. 2 days and still counting and after many attempts I still have no sound! Well at this point I am putting this exercise on hold until I can get some help! Help arrived in the form of a friend who had great perseverance and conquered the task. So as I have spent a considerable time on this exercise this blog will be brief. Here is my power point presentation so far. It's directed at a year 8 science class and is meant as a brief introduction to water.
I believe PowerPoint presentations have many benefits in the class room-
- they provide structure of the lesson for the teacher and student,
- they cater to a different learning styles
- teachers can upload them to Wikis or blogs for students to review or finish off in class work
- amazing photos and videos can be used to give examples or explain concepts
and so on...
So for now I have to move on but I will be coming back to explore PowerPoint more especially when I am actually teaching in class.
