Final+powerpoint

**Reflection**
1. My project is about different kinds of patterns. It has to do with number patterns and color patterns. Both of these types of patterns correlate with first grade math. I decided to pick this project because I did my Uen K-12 assignment on this subject as well. I also picked this subject because I want to be a first grade teacher.

2. I would use this in my classroom to help my students to understand patterns. I would have all of the students on their own computers and going through the powerpoint on their own. Having them go through the powerpoint on their own will help for them to learn more then if I were to just show a powerpoint to the whole class. The students will learn about the different kinds of patterns and how to finish patterns that have already been started.

3. The benefits for creating an interactive powerpoint are that it will help for the student to be involved with what they are learning, it will help for them to figure out the problems on their own, and it will keep them more engaged.

4. This assignment helped me to learn a lot. The concept of having a powerpoint that is interactive was really new to me. I didn't know that you could make a powerpoint be more then just clicking to the next slide. Being able to put in hyperlinks that go out to the web in the middle of your powerpoint was totally new to me. I will definitely be using interactives powerpoints when I start teaching.

5.Having a page that has a table of contents and then being able to go out to different slides from that one page worked really well. Also being able to quiz the students and have slides that tell them good job or try again worked really well also. It was also really easy to embed a video into the powerpoint which really surprised me!

6. One thing that was kind of hard was setting up my links that go out to the web because at first they weren't working like they were supposed to. I also struggled with putting in sounds because my computer wasn't letting me put them in.

7.The three things that I learned were how to embed a video, how to put in links that go to different pages on your powerpoint, and also how to hide the slides that you don't want to be viewed by just clicking through the powerpoint.
