For my powerpoint presentation, I decided to create a jeopardy game. I used a very basic layout and a solid background color. I only used graphics and sounds on the answer slides as to not give the answers away. In linking the text I was able to change the font color once the hyperlink had been selected so that the participator knew which questions had already been selected. The powerpoint in general is very basic and easy to use.

The yellow text shows where the items have already been selected.

In my classroom pictures will be the main way for students to relate to the information that I am presenting. I also feel that soft music playing during quiet work time will be very productive. I do plan on using slide shows and other graphic displays in my classroom when presenting and reviewing information. It is always a good idea to have some type of visual aid for those students who are more visual learners.

I have really enjoyed learning about all of the fun and interactive ways to use powerpoints in a classroom setting. In highschool I had to create a story with no words using just powerpoint graphis and animation, while it was a fun project that allowed me to learn a lot about powerpoint it was not something that was really applicable to the classroom, now I feel like I have really learned more information that I will be able to take to my own classroom.
