Reflection: 1. I chose to do a power point on the solar system because I have already done a page on the moon. I also chose to do the solar system because in my astronomy class we are learning about the solar system and so a lot of the information I had just learned about and I thought it would be easy to put into the power point. 2. I would use this power point in the classroom to introduce the solar system unit. I think this would be a good thing to have so that each student can work at their own paces. I also think that it would be nice to have each student have their own screen to look at and be interactive with. 3. I think that using interactive power points to create a lesson is a good idea because I think that it challenges the mind of the teacher to think of new things to put into the power point to make it more exciting. I also think it is fun to apply new techniques to the power points. 4. The new things that I learned that can be applied to help my teaching with power points are all of the special effects and the interactive quiz type pages. I think that it will be nice to have this feature to help the class see what are right and wrong answers. 5. I thought that hyper linking went pretty smoothly. I had no idea how to do it but when I figured it out then it worked really well. I also thought the sounds and active buttons went well too. 6. It was really hard for me to get the video uploaded to my power point. Figuring how to convert it to a file type that would be compatible with power point. I got it figured out but I hope there is a faster way that I can learn. 7. I learned many new things but three things I learned were how to upload videos to put them into a power point. I also learned how to put hyperlinks into the different pages. The third thing that I learned was to put the sounds into the pages. I also learned all of the features that can be done with the sounds and hyperlinks.
