1.)   I believe that my PowerPoint 2 presentation was very informative and would have been very helpful for a young student. My presentation used math concepts to steer kids through an exciting adventure. Each slide asked a problem and only selecting the right answer would lead you to the next slide. This helps to reinforce the material to the children while still remaining fun and entertaining.

2.)   I would use many different types of technologies inside my classroom outside of just the computer. I would use many different videos and visual learning tools to help give the kids real life examples about the things they are studying. I would also use technology that is able to add onto what a computer can already do, for instance an electronic microscope that projects the image much larger on a screen for the whole class to see.

3.)   I believe that learning how to utilize PowerPoint so that I can use it as a teaching tool was very important. In my classroom I believe that I will use it just as much as any other teaching tool and to be able to use it flawlessly and teach it to the kids I think would be a great asset.
