Experiencing Group

For class we did group research projects. These projects were on 21st century learning, our group did our research on middle schools, and how teaming is getting involved in schools. In this group we divided the work to write the paper. The paper ended up being like 5 pages. We used Google Drive to write the paper together I enjoyed using and learning how to use it so it will help with other group projects.  Then for the presentation we used Prezi. I thought this was a fun thing to use because it has a better presentation then power-point. All in all I think this was a good way to learn how to use online websites for group work. I felt that our group worked really well together, and all understood each other.

PowerPoint! Less!

In my SEDU 187 class we made Power Points, to help create a lesson. We were asked to make a power point that met the standards for which ever grade level one choose. Then create a  power point, in the power point we needed to have images research hyperlinks, and videos. We were also asked to present the power point to our peers. I felt that the power points I watched were done very well. They all seemed to know how they wanted the lesson/ power point to go. There were some technical problems but that happens. I personally feel that my presentation went well. I thought that I gave my point well.
At first I thought that this was going to be just like any other power point I have made really easy to do. It was not as easy as I thought it was going to be, because we did have to add the hyperlinks in to it. One reason I enjoyed doing this  was because I did learn how to hyperlink in a power point, I did not know you were able to do that before. With that  though it was hard to make sure all of the hyperlinks were working correctly.  But other then that it was not to bad, and making the power point was like what I have make before.
