Our class presentation

I am happy. I did my first powerpoint presentation. It took me a while to get familiar with the applications on the powerpoint program because there are so many. The only way to get good at it is through good old practice, patience, and much perserverance. I found it difficult to embed a you-tube video into my presentation. My partner Vicky worked very hard at it too. In hindsight I would have liked to have put more of an emphasis on technology in my presentation. On the other hand this is what learning is. It is about doing a project like this and having the ability to reflect back to see how we can improve for future presentations. I am more about progress and not perfection. Learning is not so much about getting good grades as the information and learning I get that can be applied to my life for years to come is worth so much more. I know I am writting in run on sentences-that is why I love free writting-I can write without focusing on grammer and access my thoghts and ideas more freely. This is the great thing about blogging, there really is not a wrong way to do it! I am really enjoying the presentations from my classmates as well-great job! I look forward to Wed. night presentations! P.S. Happy St.Patricks Day to all!

Preparing to make my first powerpoint

I am currently on March break, yet I am nervous at the thought of beginning work to create my very first powerpoint presentation. I hope it turns out ok! Well i am glad I got some information in class on this application so I can use it to spice up presentations. I got to admit presenting had come a long way since the incorporation of powerpoint. makes it a little more fun than the old posterboards.
