Jeopardy

My Jeopardy Template

I've previously made Jeopardy templates using Power Point, but Jeopardy Lab is much easier to utilize. I based this template on the solar system. I think using this game would be a fun competitive way to review for students to review for a test.

Prezi

Prezi is like Power Point brought into the future. It is easy to work with. The only problem I seem to be having is downloading the You Tube video. My lesson is about the life cycle of a star.

Power Point

Power Point SlideShare

I completed my Power Point SlideShare on a lesson teaching kindergarteners the value of money and what money looks like. I think Power Point slide shows reaches out to visual learners and, depending on the presentation, audio learners. I experienced some problems with SlideShare. My computer is running very slowly due to the loading and right now I have it embedded with the link. Also, my graphics are covering up some of my words which was not the case in my Power Point. I ended up removing the embedded presentation because it was causing too many computer issues.

Numbers

Excel Spreadsheet

Although I like exploring in excel, I just think there's has to be a more teacher friendly way to figure our grades.

Google Calendar

I created and have used a google calendar for a long time. It's nice because my phone syncs up with my events.
