PowerPoint Books


PowerPoint created books are absolutely amazing! I had so much fun using my own pictures in order to create a story. I actually decided to use pictures of my dog to create my book. I did this because I wanted my students to see that we can take an everyday activity and create a story out of it. Now that I know how to create an E-Book, I will definitely use them with my students. I would love the opportunity to allow my students to make their own E-Books. This would be great for improving writing, reading, and technology skills. This is definitely one technology that I will use in the future.
One day later I am now adding to this post again because their is a down-side when creating e-books. Due to the fact I used all "good quality" photographs for my book, it made my file so big that it is difficult to upload and download. Thanks to Dave's help I now realize that I must change the resolution of my photos before completing this kind of activity. This would also be very important to remember when doing this type of activity with kids.
