this week’s workshop foucsed on presentation software, and how they are used to visually convey a message. we learnt that these programs are extremely useful in the classroom, to present information to students in an interesting and engaging manner.
we looked at Microsoft PowerPoint in particular – a program i began using back in my early years of high school, and one i am confident in using.
portfolio item #7 was to create a powerpoint presentation about an emerging technology – the same used in Inspiration for the previous portfolio item. my presentation was on Interactive Whiteboards. i enjoyed creating my slideshow – i’m very competent with the program, and felt at ease when completing it.
however, our portfolio item required us to use a feature of powerpoint i had never experienced before – speaker notes.
i learnt about them, and realised these would be particularly helpful when presenting the slideshow orally – speaker’s notes give queues to the speaker to guide them through the presentation.
they will be especially helpful for me in the future as a teacher: when presenting slideshows to students, the speaker notes will be a handy assistance in presenting the information to students.
