Tech Tips If you want to "rev" up a lesson, check out this page of hundreds of links for Power Point Presentations on almost every subject from grades K-12. You probably need to ask Mike Williams to install Power Point on your computer in order to access these sites, but I'm sure you'll find something you could use with your class. There are lots of "Jeopardy" style pre-made games you can use for review with your class, and some of the sites can be used as a learning center by one student at a time. Power Point Presentations Photo Album CD's containing pictures of your class's activities throughout the year are also easy to make using Power Point. There is a special "Photo Album" feature that can be found in newer versions of Power Point which makes importing whole groups of pictures into Power Point very easy. Then you can add title slides, captions under your pictures, and even sound files if desired. Making the photo album is even easier if you save all of the pictures you take of your class this year into one folder.
