Mr. Rennie's Class

  Today we went to the lab to explore Google's Docs presentation feature. This slide show format is an excitinf way to represent content, anything from a science project to a birthday slide show. The students messed around with the text and image inserting cpabilities to begin an "About Me" slide show. They really seemed into it and many picked it up really fast. Some were frustrated by forgotten passwords or didn't have accounts yet but it went well and now I have 8 slides shows on my account. The enthusiasm observed makes me hopefull about future projects and writing tasks. The use of such programs will I hope encourage those not always so motivated to do projects. We will tackle the new application again on Wednesday.
