Making interactive, non-linear slide shows and enhancing formatting I discovered that I can use powerpoint to create non-linear interactive stories for children. I think I can include this tool in my lesson plan. PowerPoint is not a new technological tool for me; I have included it in my lessons and in my presentations when delivering a speech or presenting a piece of work. I have also tried Prezi. But I have never prepared a non-linear story or game for children. I think I can use it to prepare extra material for my students in Base Esperanza and the primary school teacher of School 38 can downloaded and show it to students in case there is no conection. This is the advantage of using PPT -you do not need internet and you can still use it. In this way, students would not miss the class.
There were some other articles about using Powerpoint:
Presenting With PowerPoint
Creating Interactive PowerPoint Presentations for Teachers and Students
These articles are really profitable to work with students at university and for refreshing how to make good and attractive presentations when presenting a project or a research.
There are some other articles that are very nice tutorials to create good PowerPoint presentations:
I do not like the Top 5 Alternatives to PowerPoint because the only fruitful alternative I can see are Prezi and Google Docs Presentations -the other links do not work. Prezi is a tool I have already known so I wanted to tried SlideRocket and ZohoShow. The first one does not work and the second tool is only mentioned but no website is in the article.
In a nutshell, I enjoyed reading and watching videos about the uses of Powerpoint because I learned it is a remarkable educational technological tool for teachers and not only can it be used for presentations but also for creating quizzes and stories.
