Power in the Point!

Yes. Years after the rest of the world has excelled at the Power in the PowerPoint: I have arrived. I actually learned "how to" this summer when taking the YORK Junior AQ course on-line. PowerPoint was one of the options to explore the Teacher Inquiry research and I found it very effective - 72 slides later! In the past three days, I have done one PowerPoint from scratch and finetuned one other. Something about the Visual support of the oral message has such power.

Taking that power one step further with middle school students, one realizes yet again, that they are very used to VISUALS for information aquistition.

There is something fun and challenging in using concise language and internet images to bring Power to the message.
