Final+Project+reflection

= Final Project Reflection By Julie Higgins 1) I chose to do Holiday crafts for kids because it's the time of year that most of us are really excited, and doing book work tends to get a little boring for kids, who are too excited to want to sit still and learn.  2) The ideas used in my power point can be used several diferent ways; reading comprehension, math skills, and also visual creative arts. The whole concept behind these crafts is to teach children about thinking of creative, inexpensive things they can do for others and not just focus on the presents they expect to receive. 3)I hope my power point gives visual aids so the students can have a great picture of what the final project should resemble. 4) I learned, not just from this project, but from having to sit through several other presentations in other classes that power points can be rather boring; it's really important to add interactive activities, otherwise you lose the interest of the student. 5)I had a really time trying to find examples that are children friendly for this project. I also tried to play a song through the whole presentation, but never could figure that one out.  6) I got really frustrated trying to download pictures, and videos to keep the presentation entertaining. 7) I really had to learn everything for this project, as I'm not as familiar with computers as I need to be. It was fun when I actually got a picture to download like I wanted. I had never even used the power point before this project. =
