PowerPoint

I am not that skilled yet on the PowerPoint, but I am working on it. I think it would be a great tool in the classroom. In the classroom I could use PowerPoint to make fun slide shows for the students, for instance when teaching reflexive verbs I could make a presentation on my daily routine. I also think they are helpful because you can post them to the internet and students can download all the notes from class.
I do not think that PowerPoint should be used for every class. I think that could get boring for the students. But every now and then it would be fun to incorporate into instruction. It would also be nice to allow the students to make their own presentations for the class.

I really lked your idea for a powerpoint on reflexive verbs about your daily routine. That sounds like a great use for powerpoint! Thanks for the idea!

Hey Mer! Hope you had a good weekend. It sounds like we are both pretty new to powerpoint. I know that I am not completely comfortable with it yet but hopefully this semester I will learn some new techniques and be able to add all of the "bells and wistles" to my powerpoints! Once we start teaching it would be nice to share ours too! :)
I think that powerpoint might also be a good way to introduce some cultural stuff too, don't you?
