Our goal is to problem solve, critique, and produce visual presentations for teacher use in the classroom. Sources may include power point, slides (film), art visuals, and mock ups. The idea is for teachers to enhance student learning in certain classes, lessons, and subjects through the teacher’s exploration and use of a variety of new visuals.

We each learned more about power point. Those of us that had no experience now have some, enough to get started. Others learned about some more intermediate things like adding sound and video. We learned to work with other software too, such as scanners. Four of us shared completed power points that may be used in our individual curriculums at some point this year or next. This was helpful in seeing how others are putting their presentations together. This process has been helpful in encouraging us to use technology for both visual and verbal learning. This is an integral part of student higher learning….think about the multiple intelligences. Using media to enhance information in the classroom increases student learning and obtaining information. In addition, each classroom will eventually be equipped to use computer/visual programs.
