Evaluating, Collaborating, and Presenting Oh My!

What better way to explain and show a presentation then through the use of a PowerPoint! Today in class each group had to present their book evaluations. My group had the difficult task of using three social studies books (teacher edition, student book, and student workbook), which were not connected to each other in any way. But of course my fabulous team members were able to pull it together, evaluate, and form a very creative PowerPoint presentation!! Having Dr. Smirnova as a professor in the past, we knew we had to create a presentation that was colorful, capturing, engaging, and interactive! This is exactly what we did! As a team we decided to each split up the books and evaluate individually. After we each evaluated, we brought ideas together and discussed our findings using google documents. Using google documents we were able to collaborate and create a PowerPoint presentation to present to the class. When it came time for our presentation we were very proud of our work, and I believe also informative on our findings. The one wish we did give ourselves was practice. Are presentation could have been better if we would have rehearsed what we were going to say before we actually did our presentation. Overall our presentation went well, and once again collaboration PROVES to be very ESSENTIAL but most importanly SUCCESSFUL!!!
