Final Reflection
Final reflection
I use PowerPoint on a daily basis. I just never forced myself to learn any of the advanced features. I can start to see some classroom uses for creating PowerPoint quizzes. It would be a good way of presenting small independent study units for kids to run through if they missed a key lesson. It might be difficult for a subject like math, but I think it would really fit into history.
I could take things a step even further by enhancing it with some digital audio samples. Initially, it would be a huge amount of work. However, once it is done it is done. All I would need to do is tweak it from term to term. Adding in the photo elements would be an added bonus.
I loved Inspiration. It was slightly frustrating at first; it was not as intuitive as I thought it would be. After some practice I did figure it out. With a little more work I could incorporate endless amounts of visual organizers into the lessons. It would be nice to have a computer lab at school for the students to make their own projects and presentation.
Understanding how to use PowerPoint and Inspiration would be very helpful for media specialists. They are excellent tools for presenting information, and media specialists are always expected to be able to communicate information to the students and staff effectively. I see some value in learning the basics of Excel. However, I’m sure that much for powerful media center specific inventory organization tools are already available.
