Creating a slideshow with captions nearly had me in tears because I am a perfectionist. I originally started out using Rock You!, but became annoyed with it because it would not save the changes I was making to the slideshow. Once I finally got the preview to look the way I wanted and tried to save it, the website told me that my slideshow had already been saved and I had to log on to change it. Imagine my frustration due to the fact that I had not registered for the site, hence no login information. Needless to say, because that site was not user-friendly, I had to move on to make a pikistrip because I at least wanted text, if I couldn't have all the glitz and glam (not to mention music) from Rock You! Because of all the change and the time it consumed, I decided to change the original intent of my presentation to "helping my students understand the importance of science". Hopefully, the end product satisfies its purpose because it cost me a lot of blood, sweat, and tears. I am not sure if I personally will use this in the classroom to make a slideshow for my students, but I might use it as an option for a project that my students have to present to me.
I like the final outcome. It says a lot about science & it's interesting. It would make a great poster for classroom display - if you can do that without violating copyright - not sure...still.
ReplyDeleteI agree about the poster idea! Wouldn't it look great hanging in your classroom. What about having students create their own after a specific topic studied about what "science" explains to them?
ReplyDeleteThanks for the suggestion! I didn't even think of making this into a poster. Since I used all Creative Commons pictures, I think that all I have to make sure I do is cite the picture owners. I think I will also post this on my moodle as an introduction to my website.
ReplyDeleteGreat suggestion! This coming year after a unit study, my students will create their own posters to show what they learned. I'm looking forward to seeing what they create. They usually show me things that I don't know.
