Session #2-Breaking the Linear Mold

Douglas County Schools The idea is getting away from PowerPoint to deliver information but make them more interactive with students. This session had participants learn how to use PowerPoint as an Interactive Presentation/Study Guide for a class by adding essential questions with links to video clips. The way the she had constructed the PowerPoints was very similar to how ActivStudio Flipchart are built and used. There are many prepared PowerPoints available for use with video segments within the various Blog areas within the Educator Network area of Discovery Education.

Kidspiration and Inspiration can now embed video segments into their plans. Creation Possibilities to make Non-linear In PowerPoint you can use Autoshapes to make hotspots in pictures to create links. Using Autoshapes you can overlay a shape Create a PowerPoint using editable clips. Place a pict of each animal and then have them link to a movie that shows without moving the slide by duplicating the main slide screen for as many picts as on the first page. Then over lay the video clip on the picture so that when it is clicked the slide appears NOT to move. Planning ideas for students-sticky notes so they can move and stack ideas.
