Power Point Reflection

Power point as a Hyper Media Tool was my 8th assignment. I learned how to create non-linear hyperlinks. Using non-linear hyperlinks in a Power Point presentation, we can create games, quizzes, presentations to open house, reviewed classroom field trips, a virtual field trip, create a tutorial, etcetera. We can include sounds, graphics, animations, and videos in a dynamic presentation. Creating a Power point presentation allowed students to use interactive tools, to reach a learning goal. Power point is a formidable tool. A non-linear hyperlink allows students to navigate the project providing an opportunity to move from one slide to another. The requirement for this project was to include 5 non-linear hyperlinks and two linear hyperlinks, sounds, graphics, and animations. It took me more time than a regular power point presentation, because I wanted to include all of the requirements for the assignment. I did not know how to use non-linear hyperlinks before, but after I read and watched the tutorial videos, I started understanding the new concept about Power Point presentations. I did a project that included a Spanish vowel lesson and a game. After I was used to using non-linear links it was easier to finish my project. I enjoyed doing it. I will use it in my classroom. It is a good resource to differentiate styles of learning and teach all types of learners.  I’m pretty sure that the students will enjoy it, as well.
