Final

Reflection:

1. Explain your project and the reason you selected. I chose to do my powerpoint on the Dewey Decimal System because many students do not know how it works or how to use it. 2. Describe how you are going to use it in the classroom and what students will learn. I am going to use this in my classroom to teach the students how to look up books using the dewey decimal system before we go to the library. When we go to thi library they will have to find a reference book to do a report on using the dewey decimal system. 3. Explain the benefits of using an interactive powerpoint for creating lessons. An interactive powerpoint allows the students to learn on their own. It allows them to go through the information at their own pace and also allows them to have fun. 4. What concepts did you learn that will help you when incorporating power point in your teaching? I learned how to make a game out of a powerpoint so that students can go through the powerpoint by themselves. I will be able to incorporate powerpoints into my lessons so that students can learn while at the same time having fun. 5. What worked well? I think that powerpoints are fairly easy and fun to create. The think that worked the best was that I was able to take all of my information and break it up into a "game" so that the students can have fun while still learning about the Dewey Decimal Classification System. 6. What did not work well? The video was hard to embed. I had to download a program so that I could download YouTube videos so that I could upload it into the powerpoint. For some reason when I used the embed code it would just leave a black box on the page and the video would not work. 7. Name 3 new things you learned to do in Powerpoint for this project. 1. I learned how to download and embed videos into a power point. 2. I learned how to use action buttons. 3. I also learned how to use hyperlinks to skip from one page to the next.
