Reconnecting

We'll take some time to review the lesson strategies that emerged following our last meeting; and respond to any questions or issues that have been raised in the time since we last met.

Next, we'll return to the digital camera and further explore potential of Power Point as an instructional tool. You may wish to bring along some of the resources you use for a presentation-type lesson which you normally teach later in the school year so that the work we do might have very practical applications

Tasks and Process

4:00: Log on to the Eiffel Website and locate our agenda from last meeting. What are you thinking in terms of a potential project?

4:15-5:30: Demonstration and Activities related to Teaching with Power Point.

Introduction to Power Point

As you participate in the activities related to developing an Introduction using a PowerPoint presentation, consider your own work and possible lesson strategies that might make sense for you to explore further
If you prefer, use the Resources that you have brought along as well as sources from the web to create a presentation that you can make in your class later in the school year.

Evaluate Yourself and Your Progress

How did it go? Do you have a firm project idea yet? Is there a strategy that you might use Power Point to create a demonstration for one of your lessons?
