With all the new web tools and free tools and what have you that are available now, we may forget about our dear old friend PowerPoint. When it comes to classroom tools that are versatile and easy to use for both student and teacher, PowerPoint always fits the bill. I ran across a blog post that reminded me of this in the Edublogs Magazine, "Teaching Technology Takes Kids Farther: PowerPoint." The author shares some very nice resources and tutorials (go about 2/3 down the post to find the links), as well as discusses personal classroom integration techniques. I encourage you to take a look at the article and the resources - lots of cool idea sparkers.
If you want to build, freshen, or advance your PowerPoint skills, of course we offer classes on the Eighth Floor to meet just those needs. (Both 2003 and 2007 versions)
Go to the Eighth Floor Class Info for times and dates.
As always, if you have question, comments, or concerns . . .
Just Sharin'
