PowerPoint Curriculum Ideas Use to present information or instruction to an entire class. Create graphically enhanced information and instructions for the learning centers. Create tutorials, reviews, or quizzes for individual students. Display student work and curriculum materials or accompany teacher presentations at parent open houses or technology fairs. You can set PowerPoint presentations to run automatically during such events, providing a slide show of classroom activities and events as parents tour your classroom or school. Use in a creative writing class as "Visual Poetry" activity in which students read a favorite poem and create a PowerPoint presentation depicting a visual interpretation of the images in the poem. In speech class, create slide shows to accompany the oral presentations. Webquest group project presentations. Art students form groups and present their favorite art work by describing, analyzing, interpreting and judging. There are many articles in Proquest on the subject of presentation/technology (tips for people interested in purchasing, reviews of current software/hardware by teachers) ENGLISH IDEAS Power Point Presentations By: Ronda Kacir January 26, 1999 In our Mass Media class everyone is reading a book. The students got to pick a book to read for 3 weeks. After we are finished reading our books we are going to do a Power Point presentation. Last semester we got on the computer and found pictures to go with our books we were reading and did a retelling of the book. We made slides and imported pictures from the Internet. The next Power Point presentation we are doing is going to be on an overhead presentation in front of the class. There are several skills in doing a Power Point presentation. Some of the skills are going back and forth from the Internet to Microsoft PowerPoint, and finding pictures.   MATH IDEAS Math Jeopardy I recently created a slide-show presentation called "math Jeopardy" as a chapter review activity for my students, I used a mobile computer connected to a large-screen television monitor to display the presentation in front of the classroom. The "math Jeopardy" home slide displays four categories with four buttons, each labeled with a point value according to the question's difficulty. Each button hyperlinks the home slide to the appropriate question. These slides are simple to create. Equations can be inserted as objects by using Microsoft's Equation Editor, such as in "final Jeopardy". The teacher can enhance the slide show by adding colorful backgrounds, animation, sound, and a timing feature. For this game, I divide the students into mixed ability teams. The teams rotate in selecting a question by category and point value. Every team has an opportunity to answer. At the end of a set time limit, the presentation returns to the home screen and plays a buzzer sound. The teams display their answers, which they write on small whiteboards. I then announce the category of the "final Jeopardy" question, and each of the teams secretly places its wager on the basis of the team's total score; a team cannot bid more points than it has accumulated. The final question is usually very challenging. At the end of the time limit, teams with correct answers add their wagers to the team score, and teams with incorrect answers subtract their wagers from the team score. "Final Jeopardy" is an excellent way to give each team an equal chance to win the game. Of course, these presentations can be used for any type of mathematics lesson. I also use PowerPoint to create traditional review exercises for the students to complete individually. The possibilities are endless with Microsoft PowerPoint.
