I really enjoyed this project. It’s been a long time since I’ve had a chance to use Power Point, and it was nice to see how much the program has improved over the years. I haven’t done a project this way in probably over five years, so getting back into it was fun.
I really like the usefulness of GoogleDocs. I had trouble posting to it, but I think if the bugs get worked out, it could be one of the most useful tools I now know how to use. The fact that it can be posted and multiple people can edit the document at once is just amazing. I can see the how this would be very useful for team teaching, grant writing, or helping kids who are sick or on vacation keep up (minus the editing on that one).
I just can’t believe all the little things that are out there that I had no idea about. This class has really been eye opening. I have already learned far more than I had hoped for in this class, and there are still about 9 weeks left. Talk about getting more for your money!
Overall, I really enjoyed this project. It allowed me to use software that I haven’t used in years and learn new ways to use it. This project also gave me a chance to explore things that I didn’t even know existed. The mixture of the two was just perfect. I hope there are more opportunities this semester to engage in something similar.

This is a beautifully crafted GarageBand lesson, and a great example of how PowerPoint can be used to create targeted lessons like this. Most teachers overlook the possibilities of using PowerPoint as a way to create instructional materials, but yours and your classmates' projects show that it's actually a perfect tool for this purpose.
