SLIDESHARE - Power point as an ict tool
View more presentations from MichelleVary.
This is my PPT from a previous blog. However I signed up to Slide Share and uploaded my PPT and then embedded it onto my blog. Very technical!!! The next step was uploading an MP3 file and synchronising the presentation and the music. I couldn't work out how to change the time frame for the presentation.
This program was relatively easy, with step by step instructions.
Some examples of how students could use this program within a classroom environment and the benefits:
- Use this site to communicate with different audiences
- Allows students to share their work whilst engaging in ICTs
- Research purposes - you can search the site for already made presentations on a range of topics
One negative is that the site might have inappropriate presentations, depending on the age level. Setting up a filter might be beneficial.
Pedagogical rationale - this type of activity channels connectivism and constructivism theories as it was a very broad activity and learners could interpret in based on perceptions and previous knowledge (experiences).
INCOMPETECH -
A site where royalty free music is available.
I downloaded an African themed song, edited the HTML on this site and embedded the code...but now the song doesn't play. Not sure why!!!! So frustrating fiddling with programs like this!!!
This song 'Night Cave' could be useful in a classroom for:
- Teaching a dance class
- Pumping up the students
- Teaching students about different cultures
- Teaching students about different traditions
I liked this site. I just wish it would play on my blog!!! This site won't allow me to stream the music, therefore making the 'embedding' part null and void!!!
This activity channels connectivism. We are living in the digital age. This site would help overcome the issue of copyright when using music for projects, presentations or any school work.
