Powerpoints and Powerpoint Lessons

by Terry

Jun 12, 2011

This link is a great resource for finding Powerpoints that you can download and use as is or you can adapt it to your needs. This site also has Powerpoint lessons.

I use powerpoint with my students to introduce new concepts and to review material. I will sometimes print out the powerpoint for note-taking also.

Is there a PPT bank site you can suggest?

by Jack/AR/7-8

Jun 12, 2011

Is there a favorite power point site that has the PPTs already made? For some of us who are technology deprived in spirit, it would be wonderful! Jack/AR/7-8

Aaron As Janet mentioned, a really good way to find PPTs is using google. What you do is type in what you want followed by filetype:ppt

So let's say you want a power point on Hitler: hitler filetype:ppt or photosynthesis filetype:ppt

At first it looks like a weird website, but scroll down and you will find the goldmine of information.

Is PPT to smart board possible?

by sportsmama

Jun 12, 2011

Okay. . . I've been inspired to integrate ppt into my lessons. I can acually see where it will be of great benefit. If a student is absent, I can print out the slides as the notes. My question is: Can I import them onto a flipchart to use on my Promethean Board? If I can, will each slide be on its own page in the flip chart? Will it retain any and ...See More

Sue Davidson Instead of printing the powerpoint, why don't you put it on your class website so any student can access it and review it as well as the absent student! Saves even more paper!

Sharyl When I was teaching, this is exactly what I did, as did most of our classroom teachers. As the computer lab teacher, I often pulled up a powerpoint from a classroom teacher's webpage and reviewed it with the students in that class right before a test.

One of our third grade teachers was very adept at making powerpoints for the various scie...See More

Maybe it was just that one page. At least now it seems to be working fine.

owerpoint has been around for a long time and that means there are plenty of resources for elementary teachers. This means you don't have to create one when someone might have already done so. Save time by checking out these wonderful links:

PowerPoints in Music

by Debbie

Jun 14, 2011

I frequently use PPTs in my music classroom to assist students in learning lyrics to songs we are learned. I've also found it helpful with teaching general concepts as all students are focused on one thing. My books are quite heavy for my younger students so PPTs engages them and keeps them interested in what we are learned.

Powerpoint Pandemic! by Tim Newlin

by In Teachers.Net Gazette

Jun 14, 2011

All across the world students are nodding off in lecture halls, executives are yawning in boardrooms, military personnel are being anesthetized at briefings, and committees are being put to sleep in government offices by infected carriers that are unaware of their condition.

Most of us have been exposed many times and have woken up afterw...See More

sci-saxet to Sue I googled "camtasia" and came up with several hits. Some said "free trial", "download for free", and others said "buy" -- one was like $200.

What would you suggest?

My problem was selecting the right settings for rate of screen capture and quality of audio so that the file sizes would stay small enough for reasonable downloading. My sound problem was just that my computer didn't record sound well no matter what microphone I used. On my other computer the sound is fine. If I used the Techsmith codec for recording the file size goes way down. Then users have to install the codec (tscc.exe) on their computer...takes about one second to download.

What I ended up doing was putting all the camtasia files on a cd and a flash drive then letting students copy it to their hard drives. I will also copy it onto their flash drives.

I have not successfully embedded a camtasia clip into a powerpoint presentation...but I am sure it can be done.

Techsmith used to have a huge educational discount if you bought 3 or 5 copies or something like that. Not sure what they still offer.
