Working together

Today i decided to try something new. Well, it was something I hadn't tried in my class before. We made a collaborative PowerPoint presentation. By "we" I mean my students and me.
We are covering natural resources in Social Studies and since I did not like chapter test provided in the student workbook I decided the class would create a PowerPoint about the topic. I had the students think of what they would want to put on a slide (one each). I created the PowerPoint presentation on my computer which is connected to a projector for all to see.
With thirty-one students in the class the resulting presentation did not quit fit the profile of a proper presentation as suggested by the reading (a lot of slides with many different approaches). None the less the students enjoyed the activity and really show how much of the lesson they remembered.

This is the last entry in this blog. Thank you for reading... Thank you for your comments...
