Our assignment was to create an interactive PowerPoint. Since I am an Early Childhood Education major I created my PowerPoint for a 3rd grade English class. First step was to locate a standard from Penn Dot Standards so I selected 3rd grade reading, writing, speaking and listening. My objective for my PowerPoint was to help the students identify and interpret synonyms and antonyms used in a text.
Since this was my first PowerPoint I encountered many challenges. For example, I decided to embed a section of a YouTube video into my Power Point. In order to do this I first had to research directions to embed a video, which led me to several online sources and eventually locating the directions. Although I was successful in embedding the video; I was not able to edit the video to play only the section I wanted. This process led me to research Free Studio 5 . This is a free website that allowed me to crop the video.
Overall, this was a great learning experience for me. I have grown in my knowledge of technology. Now that I have experienced and worked with PowerPoint I can see the potential of using this as a learning tool in my future classroom.
