Powerpoint Activites REFLECTION

WHAT: This week in class we working on powerpoint activites. Our assignment was, as a group, to figure out something to do a powerpoint presentation on for our future classes. However, we are just making a document of the instructions on how to do the actual powerpoint. From our document someone must be able to complete our assigned presentation.

SO WHAT: I think that this is very important to me as a teacher. Because as a teacher I need to be able to give very clear directions to my students in order for them to complete their assignments. I think it is very important that I am able to put these directions into words on a document that way my students are able to follow them. As a collegue this assignment was very important as well, that way I am able to share my ideas with my fellow teachers. I know that I want my coworkers to able to share their ideas with me so I can use them in my classroom.

I think that there are so many good ideas to use in the book that we bought for this class. There are so many ideas that I would like to use for future use in my classroom. There would be so many fun activities for the children, and I am glad that we are practicing how to write the instructions out for these presentations in case I wanted to make any changes to the ones in the book. I know that this assignment will come in handy for me as a teacher, student, and coworker.

NOW WHAT?: I think that this assignment is even important for my future students because it helps me, as a teacher, be better prepared to write out their instructions for powerpoint presentations. I know that doing this assignment and going through each step will help me in remembering to put every step down for the children, even if the steps are easy. It is important not to forget anything or else they will not be able to complete the assignment fully or correctly.

This activity will help me be a better teacher because I will be able to give instructions better for powerpoint presentations. Also, by purchasing the book I will have many ideas that I can use with my future students in my classroom. I will also be able to share these activities with the people that I work with. I am super excited to use what I have learned this week in my classroom. I cannot believe how many valuable lessons I have learned in this class so far! It is so exciting to me :) !
