POWER POINT:
As I am teaching a Prep class in my Practical, I thought I would use a power point and prepare a sample numeracy lesson. You can see it on my Wiki.
Sight words, alphabets, numbers, science and other subjects can be taught through power point.
Power point presentation has changed so much since I first used it years ago. So many features have been added to it. Animation, sound, colors, images and links. You can use digital camera and take your own pictures and present it in the power point. I enjoyed developing a numeracy lesson using power point. As the students in Prep are very visual and have not yet learned to read and write this will enhance and engage their learning. At the same time the number names can be learned as a sight word. There are so many features to the Power Point program that older children who use it to present their research will be more creative.
Students need to be aware that they should not lose their content amidst all the images and animation as shown in the video below:
Zooburst:
I had fun writing a story using Zooburst. It is a great tool to use for lower primary. Since I could not access the premium features I was not able to use the audio and other links.

Meena, I have been a negligent Blog Buddy and have not been to your blog for two weeks ;-(
ReplyDeleteBut I must say that I am VERY impressed with what I see. The new look and feel of your blog is FANTASTIC. I have BLOG ENVY.
Could you please add me to your wiki?
Keep up the good work.
Its understandable. I have a full on weekend and two assignments plus getting ready for Prac. Trying to get started today. Went to school Prep class. Interested to see how much ICT I can use and am trying to do a list of what tools is suitable for a Prep class. My kids are on holiday and I am envious of them lazing around. I would like to have more time to play around with the tools.
