Powerpoint Presentation (this link will open directly into Powerpoint)
Barbara Robinson is one author which I particularly enjoy sharing with my students. She provides literature which students can relate to and relishes the opportunity to hear from the students. Many authors are studied throughout the year and this is one form of presentation that I use.
Context:
The slide presentation that I have included
serves as an introduction to an author study on Barbara Robinson.
My students are able to view the presentation and see what the author was
like growing up, likes and dislikes, and a bibliography of works in this
multimedia presentation.
Impact:
Students benefit from this type of information
by understanding the backgrounds of authors. It is important for
children to understand that authors are just like us: there may even
be a future book author in our presence! Providing background information
on authors allows students to create a connection or relation to this person.
In addition, the multimedia presentation offers children an alternative
type of presentation from which they are used to experiencing at school.
I strive to use technology in my classroom and create an emphasis of the
importance of technology, especially for exceptional children.
