Flyer, Class Assignment, PPT Quiz Reflection

I personally enjoyed the assignment because I enjoy putting presentations together and using creativity over plain knowledge every once in a while. It took me a while to find a flyer template that I liked, and I really do not like the one I chose that much but I figured I was wasting time so I just chose one. The powerpoint presentation was the most fun for me because you can play with animation, sound, and pictures to make the presentation appropriate for the audience, which in our case, was a class of 6th graders. While doing my undergraduate coursework, I had to put together several powerpoint presentations together and was not able to make them fun because they were supposed to be "professional" and serious since most of my presenations consisted of scientific research such as studies of certain nutrients and their relationship with cancer.

The only problem that I ran into during this portion of the assignment was creating a chart from the data that I plugged into Excel. I spend a great deal of time trying to figure this out. I tried to look at tutorials through MyLabSchool.com and did not even figure out how to work the website. I also went on google and tried to find a tutorial that way. In the end, what I ended up doing was I went into Excel and ended up playing around to figure it out. It probably still did not turn out quite like it was supposed to, but at least I ended up with two charts and I know how to explain them if I were in a meeting with a parent.

Overall, this assignment was fun and definitely incorporated the technology that I will be using in the classroom as a teacher.
