Powerpoint: All-Star Hoop Dreams

Reflection

All-Star Hoop Dreams is a interactive powerpoint game. It can be edited to so that the questions fit whatever lesson you are teaching. I did mine on the basics of the game of basketball. Every kid should know the rules and basics of the game of basketball. You could use this powerpoint game though for any class and subject matter. It's a fun and easy way to get your students envolved in learning.

Excel

Reflection

This lesson was to teach us how to use the the Excel program. I had previously taken a class's that had taught me the program so I picked up on it pretty easily. It was a good refresher for me and I improved the knowledge that I already had about it. Excel is a spreadsheet that you can use for so many purposes. It has equations built into it that make it easy for you to do math. You can also create charts to show a good visualization of the data you record. Every student should know how to use Excel.
