Scavenger Hunt, Picasa, and Google Presentation

This was definitely my favorite day of class so far. We went around campus to find and take pictures of objects that corresponded with the project we chose. My group chose to do the elementary color scavenger hunt. We had to go out and find objects around campus that were different colors, which was a nice get away from the classroom. We used Drop Box to share our pictures, after sharing our pictures we used picasa to make our presentation and post it to our websites. After making our scavenger hunt presentation, we also used google presentation to make individual slideshows on a topic of our choice where we had to find copyright free images to make a google presentation, and share through our websites under technology projects, like the scavenger hunt presentation.
These two projects aided in expanding my knowledge on presentations. There are more ways to make presentations besides PowerPoint! who knew?! I can definitely use these tools in the classroom to help my students learn. I also like that google is connected with picasa so you can upload to your website by using the insert button! technology made easy!!!
