Microsoft PowerPoint is a very unique and widely use tool in education. Power points allow you to instruct your audience through slides. The unique thing about power points is that they can either be original or you can use other peoples slides on the same subject. This a very interesting feature because it helps us instruct our students at the create level of the blooms taxonomy. Other levels in the blooms taxonomy are evaluating, analyzing, applying, understanding and remembering information. Power point hits all of these levels. With Microsoft power point you can upload graphs, timelines, and other visual information to help students analyze and evaluate the topic of discussion. At the same time power point allows you to upload pictures and images that will help students from all levels remember and understand the information being taught. Lastly power point can be use for applying the knowledge you are teaching by putting up questions and also asking students to make their own power points on a topic and see how much they really understand the subject.

The webpage assignment was very interesting. It helped us not only acquire a new and important skill but helped us learn how to organize and present teaching material.

I think that a blog would be a better suited type of webpage for me because I want to entice conversation and dialogue.
