TWT2010_10.+Effective+Classroom+Presentations+-+Making+PowerPoint+Interactive

Discussion:
This presentation will focus on changing the way teachers use PowerPoint and other presentation applications in the classroom. Often slideshows are filled with bullet points and text which not only makes it difficult for students to process the information but students are often too busy attempting to write everything down to really participate in the lesson. The presenter will demonstrate and share best practices in developing and producing slideshows that are not only more interactive but also give students a better chance to retain information. The presentation will include information to integrate new web 2.0 applications into presentations like live polls using pollseverywhere.com and developing lesson plans using the presentation application in Google Docs.
