PPT becomes more of a desktop vs a slide show
1st tip: Prohibit bullets
the learning space and the presentation space
the assignment is in the page...not somewhere else!
also directions to do the activity..even some skill if needed
use the notes box for questions...never to be played as a slideshow
first example was a photo with speech bubbles!
add a sound...record what the person in the picture may say
speech bubble site
voice thread
other speech bubble ideas:
dialog historical figures, brainstorm plot, setting, react to peer pressure, compare science image to student project (dissection of frog), solve architect's geometry dilemma
concern: google the pictures...no mention of copyright or creative commons
Simple templates for primary grades
Grades K-2 Primary Writing Spaces: 1 line (PPT), 2 lines (PPT), 3 lines (PPT), 4 lines (PPT), and 8 lines (PPT).
"Post-it note idea"
Grades 3-12 Notepaper Writing Spaces: Sidepage (PPT), Bottompage (PPT), fullpage (PPT), halfpage (PPT), all 4 in one (PPT) file
keywords and visuals
Image Starters
these will be in additional to Flickr Creative Commons that we have featured in our Student Products for the 21st Century and #5 out of 23 Things
Other countries have archives of pictures--need to investigate this for lists.

I work for DonorsChoose.org, an award-winning nonprofit that connects public school teachers in need of resources with donors via the internet.
At DonorsChoose.org, called the “future of philanthropy” by the New York Times, public school teachers describe needs for their classrooms and donors can search projects by area of interest and choose to fund the project(s) he/she finds compelling.
In the fall, DonorsChoose.org holds an annual “Blogger Challenge” – bloggers choose specific projects from our website and challenge their readers to make donations.
Last year we raised $420,000 for needy classrooms via 50 bloggers including Engadget, TechCrunch, Tomato Nation and Stephen Colbert.
The classroom projects run the gamut from basic needs like books to salmon hatcheries; in fact there are 725 Texas projects currently posted.
On October 1, we’ll kick off this year’s Blogger Challenge. We would be honored to add A Library By Any Other Name to the list of participants. Your participation could help hundreds of Texas students in need.
If you are interested, I would be happy to share more details with you by email or phone. Your support would be GREATLY appreciated!
Thank you for your consideration,
Natalie French
