SMART Class

Today, we worked on having our students use our digital cameras to make PowerPoint presentations. After school during our study group, we had some great discussions about how this lesson could be adapted for all grade levels. We spent some time learning how to add sound to PowerPoint. Here is what you do: Plug in a microphone to your computer. Click on record narration under slide show. Check the microphone level and then click on okay. You can change the quality if need be. Choose the slide and start talking, you can click on different slides as you continue to talk through the slide show. When finished click on save, it takes a little time. When you play the slide show the voice will go along with the show. WOO HOO!

I like the idea that as the OMA teacher I could contribute to the classroom work by helping students choose appropriate music to go with their digital stories. Should it be happy or sad, or fast or slow,etc.
