Reflections 5.1-5.3 Presentation tools
You will note that there are no embedded reflections for each of the presentation tools covered this week. You should be familiar with the focus of the reflections. Generically, you will write a blog reflection, identifying the learning purpose of accessing, creating and sharing presentations. You will consider your pedagogy, and content and question how presentations of different types will be supportive of learning in your own teaching context. You will use the SAMR model to propose the use of presentation technologies (both learner-accessed, and learner-generated) in your own classrooms at each level of the model.

There are many advantages with using the program in the classroom, including the fact that it is very easy to learn to use and produce excellent slide shows. Another advantage is that due to being a part of the MS Office Suite, students using MS Word will already be familiar with the icons used in the program (El-Ikhsan, 2010). The course material had the following excellent points regarding PowerPoint:
To demonstrate my technical skills in this area, I followed the instructions to make an interactive slide show to create my Interactive PowerPoint Presentation. I then saved this as a video and uploaded it to YouTube. It is a quiz on fun facts for Java Programming! I also added music in the YouTube video editor, then embedded the video into this blog post. Comments on the video production:
