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.
