This week we focused on power point. We did so by creating a whole class power point, where each individual had the opportunity to perform a task to complete the power point presentation.  We were also placed into groups to create a lesson using one of the following power point  application, Prezi, Wordle, and Mind Map (Mind Master) making a presentation to the class.

Task:

• Creating a class power point
• Creating a group presentation using Prezi. On this presentation we had to complete the following task, changing the template, adding a topic, adding the details to each slide pertaining to the topic adding animation to each slide and text also adding videos and references.

Challenges faced

• Using power point wasn't a problem for me. However a few other classmate had issues in completing their task. For the competition of our group Prezi presentation, we had to explore how to use the application  since we weren't familiar with it. After signing into the app with limited use because the account was basic, the task was completed despite the limitations.

Challenges faced:

• In the Prezi we encountered a challenge in adding the videos to the slide. how ever it was overcome by watching a video.

What I have learnt:

• In Power Point I learnt how to add animation for words, adding sounds and how to hide and reveal slides in the presentation. I also learnt how to create a presentation using Prezi as a slide presentation including videos and images.

Conclusion:

• Power point and Prezi are similar apps but Prezi is more advanced and creative way to show a Power Point

Song on parts of a plant

Grade: 3

Subject: Science

Topic: Parts of a plant

Description: Song introducing a lesson on parts of a plant. (Sing to the tune of the “muffin man”)

Parts of  plants

Oh, do you know the parts of plants,

The parts of plants, the parts of a plant?

Oh, do you know the parts of the plant,

That make them grow and grow?

The roots, they hold the plant in place

The plant in place, the plant in place

The roots, they hold the plant in place

And soak up water, too.

The stem moves water up to the plant,

Up the plant, up the plant,

The stem moves water up the plant,

Brings water to the leaves.

The leaves, they soak up the sunlight,

The sunlight, the sunlight,

The leaves, they soak up the sunlight,

And help the plant make food.

The flower turns into a fruit,

Into a fruit, into a fruit,

The flower turns into a fruit

To hold the tiny seeds,

Oh, now you know the parts of  plants,

The parts of plants, the parts of plants,

Oh, now you know the parts of  plants

That make them grow and grow!

Here's a link to the Video. Have a listen.

What was learnt:

• Audacity can be used to record and make audio files, cut downloaded music to your device to how you want it. video pad movie maker is a great app used to create a video, by adding images, music and things you record using cameras and even video downloader fro YouTube, or the internet. we also learnt how to cite reference all videos, images etc. hat is taken from another source and not originally yours.

Conclusion:

• Using each application to enhance my lesson, when I return to the classroom making them more interesting even in my everyday life.
• this week I learnt a lot, and will definitely be using these application to their full potential.
