Activity 2
Our Solar System – Group Project
1. Assign Planets 2. Have each individual complete a single slide on their assigned planet 3. Each slide will contain
a. Two to three images from the internet b. At least three facts about their planet c. A title for their slide
Our Sun is a big star. It is the most noticeable feature in our solar system. It is located at the center of this system.
The Sun is so large that our earth could fit inside of it over 1,000,000 times.
The Sun's strong gravitational pull holds Earth and the other planets in place.

PowerPoint for Instruction
“PowerPoint is where all good presentations go to die”
But, it doesn’t have to be this way!
What can engaging content look like?
Content
Un-engaging Content
• Lots of text
• Lots of bullets • Line by line reading
• Require students to copy verbatim
Engaging Content
• Limited amount of text
• Limited use of bullets • Slides are media rich (music and video)
• Effective use of images
• Slides include questions / prompts
• Slides include graphs or charts, cartoons, drawings, paintings,
• Content on slides supplements the actual teaching of the content
The Middle East Try making your PowerPoint both visual and verbal
18. When looking at this map, where do you find Islam the most?
19. When looking at this map, where do you find Islam the least?
20. When looking at this map, what can you tell about Islam in America?Europe? Asia? Africa?
Engage students … ask questions on your slides
The Middle East
How do we affect our environment?
Use images that bring about emotion / discussion
The Iron Curtain
Try using less text
1945 1955 1965 1975 1985
US and USSR Fight together In WWII The Cold War
1945 - 1991
(U.S.)
(U.S.S.R)
The U.S. and U.S.S.R become suspicious of one another. A rivalry begins that is based on military and economic competition.
= Wars indirectly fought against one another = Cuban Missile Crisis — potential Nuclear War
= Berlin Airlift
Use PowerPoint tools to design your own content
Try to avoid …
Dining out during the Great Depression. A family eating at a soup kitchen.

Pay attention to your text and how it interacts with your background
Be Careful of Overload
The Rise of U.S. Imperialism The period between 1870 and 1914 has been called the Age of Imperialism. Imperialism is the policy of powerful countries seeking to control the economic and political affairs of weaker countries or regions.
Reasons for the growth of imperialism
• Resources — Industrial nations of Europe needed raw materials and new markets. They found both in Africa and Asia. • Racism — The belief that one race is superior to another. • Religion — Many Europeans felt it was their duty to spread their religion and culture to other parts of the world. They ignored the fact that Africans and Asians had rich cultures of their own. • Competition — Helped spread imperialism. A European nation might take over an area just to keep rival nations out.
More Overload! Try limiting
your slides to one idea or concept each
Try avoiding animated clipart and images
Tools for your Presentation
How can I elevate student interest and engagement? Adding short streaming clips to your teacher
toolbox can have a positive impact on your classroom and your
presentation.
Use Streaming Video
Activity 3 – hyperlink to a video
Using Streaming Video Clips
Helpful hints on using streaming video in your PowerPoint presentations
• Try it out first!
• Make sure you have the correct “plug-in”
• Download if the file is too large (if you can)
• Have direct Ethernet connection to the Internet
• Create hyperlink to video in your PowerPoint presentation (Avoid live video searches in class)
• Embed video clips into your blog, wiki, or website PowerPoint
•Use video often, but in small snippets (2 – 3 min)
Let freedom ring…
Activity 4 - Incorporate Audio
Use Images
If you want to publish your presentation on a wiki, blog, or website, use websites that offer free non-copyrighted pictures.

techniques, go online!
A few thoughts on technology integration:
• Technology in the classroom should complement, rather than replace, successful methods that teachers use in classroom instruction
• The teaching of technology literacy skills should not be separate from the curriculum
• Integrating the appropriate use of technology into the curriculum should enhance the learning of the content
