Week 6: Another great week

This week assignment makes me realize how technology is important in large classes. We are introduced two topics- Creating Student-centered Classes and Interactive PowerPoint (PPT). From Rick Finnan and Donna Shaw’s article: Teaching Large Classes II – Enhancing Learning by Engaging Students (http://umbc.uoregon.edu/eteacher/webskills/material/engaging_students_handout.pdf), I have learned many things such as in-class exercise techniques, how to form a group for out-of-class assignments, and miscellaneous ideas useful for teaching practice. 

Regarding PPT, I have never used it in my teaching so I can gain applicable benefits from this week task through top 10 Slide Tips - basic information about making a better presentation (http://www.garrreynolds.com/Presentation/slides.html), YouTube video showing how to create interactive PowerPoint: Making a Jeopardy game and Using PowerPoint to Make an Interactive Story (http://www.microsoft.com/education/story.mspx). It truly was a fruitful week.
