Flowgram Presentation

I really enjoyed using Flowgram. It was a very easy site to incorporate information into. I love power point presentations and will continue using them in the classroom with words. It was difficult for me to create the power point without words. I often use a power point to introduce new vocabulary so I feel it is less effective without the words. Yes I do ask the students before letting them know the correct meaning of the word. We discuss the word, I ask the students what they think it means then we see the definition on the screen. Flowgram was a easy way also to introduce new vocabulary. I believe that the students could use the Flowgram to create an all about me page. They could find pictures on the Internet that describes themselves and then use the flowgram to discuss why they choose that picture to represent themselves. I do not believe my power point without text conveyed my emotion or message. I believe some text is important for vocabulary. I believe the all about me flowgram would convey the message without text. Allowing the viewer to hear the voice of the presenter and their emotion in their voice. I will try to use less words when presenting my power point presentations and more pictures. I also need to remember not to make them to distracting so the viewer gets the full concept of the lesson. I really enjoyed learning all the new tools through technology and the web.
