Technology Class Feedback

I thought Technology class was a great class. I liked that it was hands on instead of learning out of a textbook. Scott, you were great teacher. The only constructive critisim I have is maybe to be a little bit more clear on what the requirements are for the projects. I also liked that there wern't any handouts. If anyone wanted to take notes they could use there own piece of paper.

I learned a lot more about word and Powerpoint. I really think this class was beneficial to me. All of the learning activities taught us about a different aspect of computer skills.

Powerpoint Techniques

In class today, we went over different techniques on how to present your Powerpoint. I liked the second presentation best because it used only pictures and no text. I also conveyed the right mood. Also I like to use note cards in my presentation as well.

The first show was not great because it was read straight off the slides with no pictures. The third show didn't have the right mood. The topic was too serious for the types of pictures that were used. You need to be careful that the message you want to send matches the images you use.

Powerpoint

In technology class we have been learning how to use Powerpoint more effectivly. I think Powerpoint is a great tool to help you organize your information. I like using Word Art and slide transitions to make my presentaion more interesting.

Before this class I had used Powerpont, but I didn't know about all of the different slide layouts that were available. It's cool how you can put pictures and text, or just pictue on a slide. Putting screenshots on a slide is also cool. I thought I knew Powerpoint pretty well before, but now I know even more!!

Web 2.0

Web 2.0 to me means websites that allow people to contibute to them like this one. Web 2.0 lets someone contibute videos or comments depending on the site. You tube for example is considered web 2.0.

Excites.com is one of my favorite web 2.0 tools It allows you to bookmark your favorite websites and access them from any computer. You can also search a topic and it will find sites that other people have used. Web 2.0 makes a better World Wide Web!
