Project #4: 
Educational Applications of PowerPoint


This PowerPoint was made for our EDU 375 class which is teaching elementary social studies.  The powerpoint I made was a Virtual Field Trip to Alcatraz Island.  The point of these Virtual Field Trip's was to be able to create a field trip to a place that we could not physically take the children to.  The VFT also had a purpose that the children needed to look for throughout the PowerPoint.  For instance, in my Power the children had to find out the daily routine of a prisoner in Alcatraz, as well as find out who some of the famous prisoners were that stayed in Alcatraz. 

This Virtual Field Trip project gave me alot of knowledge into different ways of teaching social studies topics.  I learned alot in how to make one of these Virtual Field Trips.  I had never even heard of it before but it is such a good way to explore different places.
