      Seems like a neat tool to use in a classroom. Student could create their presentations and use their own voices to narrate. Since it is online with many ways to add comments, it could be used anywhere, not have to be done in school. I'm not sure about the K-12 edu voice. It seems like a nice thing to have, but it does have a subscription cost.

    Create multi-media slide shows that contain images, documents, and video. Comments can be left on each slide in 5 different ways. his could be use with students to create all kinds of presentations and ways to display their learning. They could video tape a science lab and then use this to narrate their learning as they go through the video. Teachers could use this tool to video their classroom and then collaborate with one another using this tool. The collaboration could take place with teacher from different districts, states, even countries.

Presentations - 0 views

  • "PowerPoint is a high-powered software tool used for presenting information in a dynamic slide show format. Text, charts, graphs, sound effects and video are just some of the elements PowerPoint can incorporate into your presentations with ease. Whether it's a classroom lesson, a parents' group meeting, a teachers' seminar or an unattended kiosk at the Science Fair - PowerPoint shows you how to make a powerful impression on your audience."
  • Teachers can use presentation software to create and organize effective presentations for small groups, entire classes, and web-based viewing. PowerPoint presentations may contain graphics, digital photos, animations and sound.
  • Students may use presentation software to create presentations that demonstrate what they have learned in a given subject area or to showcase the findings of a research assignment. Presentations are also ideal for capturing the learning process over a period of time. Further, if students can capture the steps of their learning through digital photography, these types of images can be used in a slide show as well.

    PowerPoint I think students should know how to create a PowerPoint presentation by the time they leave middle school.

    Read the highlighted sections of this report. Research is finding the connection between neuroscience and education that can benefit student learning. THis research suggests students with dyslexia who utilize their right brain tendencies (which suggests to me the creative side of the brain) can make improvements in comprehension. I would like to read more studies on this effect!
