===Interactive Power point ===


===1. Explain your project and the reason you selected it. === ===I chose to teach my first graders about the life cycle of the butterfly. I think this is a great way to expose them to the wonders of nature and watch the process of life of a small insect. It also exposes them to new concepts and ideas. ===

===2. Describe how you are going to use it in the classroom and what students will learn. === === I could use this power point in several ways. Either I can present it to the class which allows them to see pictures and videos or I can can assign this as a homework assignment they can work on at home by themselves. I will expect that my students will come away with a better understanding of the life cycle of the butterfly as well as a more varied vocabulary. ===

===3. Explain the benefits of using an interactive power point for creating lessons. === ===I love this because it is a fun way to engage students in learning. Also, if a student is absent, I can easily have them catch up by using this. ===

===4. What concepts did you learn that will help you when incorporating power point in your teaching? === ===<span style="color: #ff0000; font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 110%;"> I learned you really need to check the validity of your sources. I really used pioneer library which was a very useful tool. While making it I also realized that I can't overload them with information, so making main points and emphasizing those is important. ===
