This week we learned about power point and did some activities having to do with it as a pod. I really enjoyed the process and learned that working together as a group, especially if you are using google presentations, is actually quite easy and beneficial.
I can see this tool being extremely useful in the classroom. Students love technology and using the power point is just one way to bring that in. If your students are older you can even have them use power point to do their presentations.
This is a great tool for collaborating! Especially when you choose to use Google Presentations. Not only can everyone work on it at once, but you can also see the changes instantly! I loved working with this tool and could see it being very beneficial as a teacher. If you are using a website, it is easy to post and you can not only show what you are doing to your co workers, but the parents can also see what their students are doing.
I absolutely loved the video "Do you Believe in Me?" I could not believe my eyes when this young boy walked up on the stage and started addressing thousands of teachers. What he had to say was powerful! If we believe in our students, they will believe in themselves. I have always believed that is true. Teachers the most important job. They show others how to do things necessary for every career. Without teachers the world would be a very different place. These teachers though can make or break a student. If they believe in their students, each and every one of them can go far. "The Ron Clark Story" is a movie that shows the effect that just one teacher believing in his students can make. Each and every teacher has the opportunity to empower their students, and to help them believe in themselves. This is a huge responsibility, but we can rise to that challenge.
