Back to school powerpoint reflection

There is always room for improvement on anything I've ever done, but my back to school powerpoint makes me smile! Part of my joy lies in the fact that this is the 1st powerpoint I didn't struggle with... I remembered how to use animations, sounds and graphics, so I didn't have to spend my time searching for those things!

I learned a few new tricks, including taking pictures on my PC and animating the bronco symbol. I also really worked on making the sounds I chose match the feeling of the slide. In my previous powerpoint, I just chose a sound and assigned it to a slide. That worked okay individually, but once the slides were put together, the presentation didn't have a good "flow," and it detracted from what I was trying to convey. My back to school powerpoint flows, and the sounds enhance each individual slide and the show as a whole.

I also really like the color scheme... The blues and greens are pleasant to look at, and the waves of color give it a layed-back, beachy feeling. I think the appearance would make people who might be nervous on back-to-school night feel more at ease!

Content-wise, I followed the ruberic closely and checked off requirements as I went, so everything should be covered. Even though P.E. doesn't seem like it would have much in common with technology, all 3 class "highlights" involve using some form of it, which provides evidence of the role technology will play in my classroom.
