Technically Teaching (Lynn's Blog)

This blog will address my thoughts about using technology with elementary students. Many elementary teachers are apprehensive to incorporate technology into the curriculum. My goal is to be an instrument of change in that area and to be an encouragement to my fellow Educators as they discover the many benefits of using technology in their classrooms.

PowerPoint Flash Cards

What do you use flash cards for??? For just about any skill that you would use flash cards to support learning, you can create PowerPoint flash cards to do the same thing.

PowerPoint slide shows are a great way to provide independent practice on a number of skills. With simple animations and voice recording, your slide show can support learning in your classroom when you don't have time to get to everything that needs to be done.

We will have a workshop at Everett on Wednesday, Nov. 21st at 9am. Please come with your ideas and be prepared to make a slide show!

For kindergarten, I am working on slide shows for; alphafriends chant, numbers 1-20, sight words, word families, fluency sentence practice...

See you there!

Hi Lynn-
I have made a few PowerPoint flash card slide shows. They are a great way to use PowerPoint.

Another way to lessen the work of creating flash cards is to do a Google search and add + .ppt.
For instance if I want sight words I would type in sight words + .ppt. Google will return results containing PowerPoints on sight words. Then you can download and modify to your needs.

Keep up the great work using technology!
Susan
