Last year I made an “about me” presentation that I used
when introducing myself to teachers and students. The goal was to show teachers
and students how they could easily create one on their own using the Promethean
software our district has.
Since a lot of my readers do not have Promethean software I
created two tutorials highlighting how to make this easy back-to-school
presentation. The first is using Promethean’s ActivInspire software and the
second using PowerPoint - both are around 5 minutes.
As you can see, it is a fairly simple process. I've done this
project with third graders on up and they catch on fairly quickly (and they like it a lot better then being forced to write a paper about their summer vacation). I do make
them type details about their picture (so there is some writing involved) and I limit them to one piece of clipart
from the internet…otherwise the process gets bogged down by picture searching. When they are done I either let them share whole group or within their table groups.
Enjoy these last few weeks of summer!
