How May I Help You?

     Which comes first, learning to make a PowerPoint or the PowerPoint Project?  In recent professional literature, most educational technology gurus would tell you to teach students how to make PowerPoints before they are required to use the program in a project or learning activity.  Jamie McKenzie ( http://www.fno.org/) suggests that the first time students learn PowerPoint, you let them go wild with fonts, animations, sounds and all the fun features in the program.  After they learn all the features,  have the students make projects with PowerPoint using a limited number of features.  If I can help you or your class with this powerful program, just let me know!  It would be my pleasure to help you!

PRE K TO ?:  This is an incredible site to use in teaching all aspects of English.  It uses a Flash Plug In to keep students actively involved with fun learning activities.  This would make a great center activity or could be done in the computer lab.  This is also great to use with ESL or ELL students.
