Power Point is a presentation method that has been used by teachers for many years. However, Power Point is much more than bulleted lists for students to copy into their notebooks. By using Power Points this way, students are doing the same old thing with technology. Today we will explore how teachers are designing interactive Power Points and creating lesson plans that includes movies, sound clips, primary source documents, questions, and much more.

=Before we get started, we need to create a folder in My Documents to save the presentations we find.=

1. Select START 2. Select MY DOCUMENTS 3. Select FILE, NEW, FOLDER 4. Title your folder what ever specific topic you are working with today. Ex. - Civil War 5. Let's make a second folder labeled POWERPOINT for any presentation you find that could be used for any topic. Ex. - games, etc.

Now we are ready to get started!

First, we are going to take a look at examples of presentations that are already published on the Internet. Some are just templates while others are completed presentations that teachers are using in their classrooms.

=Templates from Microsoft Online= http://office.microsoft.com Beginning of School design templates Elementary - http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/templates/TC010187211033.aspx Middle - http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/templates/TC010183871033.aspx High - http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/templates/TC010170701033.aspx 1. In the search rectangle, select TEMPLATES 2. In the rectangle next to templates, type in the specific type of Power Point you are looking for. 3. Select GO 4. Scroll down to locate presentations that you are interested in looking at.

=Searching Google for Power Point templates that are already published to the web.= You can download a presentation that you find (make sure you note where you obtained the presentation so you can cite it), make modifications to the presentation, and then use it in your classroom. 1. Go to http://www.google.com 2. Select ADVANCED SEARCH located to the right of the large rectangle. 3. Type in the specific topic you are looking for in WITH ALL OF THE WORDS 4. Under FILE FORMAT, use the dropdown box to select MICROSOFT POWERPOINT .PPT

Example 1. Search for DEWEY DECIMAL SYSTEM and you will find 571 hits. ([]) 2. Select the first hit called The Dewey Decimal System 3. I suggest you OPEN the PowerPoint first to see if it meets your needs. If you decide you do want to use it, use the back button to go back to the google search page. Open the Power Point again this time saving it instead of just opening it.


 * Take a few (10) minutes to locate a presentation that you could use or modify for a topic that you will be teaching during the first nine weeks.**
