Group Projects

This weeks tool was really cool to me. I liked that we were able to work in groups because to me, group projects help me learn more. With different views and different brians it brings something completely new to the table that you might not have thought about before. It's always nice to see the different points of view of people as well. Also I like that we had to do three different projects. I think my favorite powerpoint was the one we did with the digital cameras though. It was cool that we were able to choose our own topic and that we were also able to add our own ideas to it. For me it's important to do this because the students will be more engaged with the project and they will be able to be more focused. When i was playing around with the powerpoint program on my computer i was so fascinated because there were so many cool things that I was able to play around with and incorperate into it. It is nice because no matter if all the students have to make a powerpoint they will each be unique because each student adds their own flavor to them. For our powerpoints i like that we were able to have transitions and that each of us had a specific job because this way it isn't so stressful. I think powerpoints are a good way to help students reach out of their comfort zone and also they will be able to learn to work with other kids. Powerpoints can be helpful for people who are scared of technology because they are so user friendly and easy to work with. :)
