Prezi

This is a Prezi that two of my peers and I made for 21st century teachers.

What Does Success Really Mean in 21st Century Middle Schools? on Prezi

PowerPoint (terrific)

In my Tech for Teaching and Learning class, at Edinboro University, my teacher required the students to make a powerpoint that we could use in the classroom.  The powerpoint could not be part of the actual lesson though. It had to be some type of review of what we had already taught them.  I am going to be a middle school math teacher so my powerpoint was on the order of operations.  I hyperlinked a creative rap video from youtube to help the students remember the order of operations.  Then I created good practice problems to review the order of operations.  Right after the practice problems I hyperlinked this review page in case they needed some further help.  Once the students completed the practice problems and reviewed they could play jeopardy, which was the last part of the powerpoint.

After creating the powerpoint, to assess what we have created, the teacher had us present it to a couple of our classmates.  Then our classmates were the ones that graded what we have done.  I was comfortable with this because I have worked with powerpoint for a long time so I was confident in what I had created.  My classmates' powerpoints were also pretty good and I am sure they will all be able to use technology in their future classrooms wisely.
