Multimedia Principles/ Who wants to be a Millionaire

Today I added a link into my sidebar on my website about Multimedia Design.

I also learned how to add attachments such as the Jeopardy game and Millionaire game to my Google Site.

I updated the first for questions of the Millionaire game for 3rd grade Math. It starts out easy, but gets to their level eventually. Here is the FTP.

I really believe that this addresses Intasc Standard Principle 4:Instructional strategies/problem solving:
The teacher understands and uses a variety of instructional strategies to encourage students’ development of critical thinking, problem solving, and performance skills.

Powerpoint Jeopardy and Google Sites

Today we started on an awesome jeopardy board and since I am such a good student I went ahead and finished it. Here it is. I also created a google site. This will be useful when I have a class of my own. I think many parents would appreciate it.

Powerpoint Embed

PowerPoint

Today we discussed PowerPoint. We talked about saving it as ppt, pps, htm, mht, and pdf. I found an awesome PowerPoint on colors probably appropriate for kindergarten level. It is saved as a ppt, I saved this PowerPoint under different formats. The htm format was the worst . The pdf format was nice, but the transitions were lost. We then uploaded the powerpoint to the FTP site. Here are the powerpoints saved as FTPs: PDF HTM PPT PPSX

The following INTASC STANDARDS were covered:

Principle 3:
Learning styles/diversity The teacher understands how students differ in their approaches to learning and creates instructional opportunities that are adapted to diverse learners.
Principle 4:
Instructional strategies/problem solving The teacher understands and uses a variety of instructional strategies to encourage students’ development of critical thinking, problem solving, and performance skills.
Principle 6:
Communication/knowledgeThe teacher uses knowledge of effective verbal, nonverbal and media communication techniques to foster active inquiry, collaboration, and supportive interaction in the classroom.

Podcast

The link to my script is available if you click on Podcast. I can't record today because I lost my voice over the weekend and I don't want to sound like a scary man on my podcast. I will just record it on my own over the weekend when I don't sound so crappy.
