Welcome!

Winnetka campus>Image via WikipediaThis weblog will document my activities as a New Trier High School TSD (Technology Staff Developer) and Google Certified Teacher (GCT). What I'd like to feature includes:
  1. Tools which transform instruction, not tools for the sake of using technology
  2. Applications of these tools to my own teaching
  3. Examples of technology usage from my colleagues
My specialties are Social Studies and multimedia integration, as well as copyright/fair use. Any feedback from anyone is very much appreciated!



PowerPoint KILLS — The Presentation

For those of you who attended my talk on designing more effective PowerPoint presentations, here is a copy of the slides, recently featured on the homepage of SlideShare.net:

"You are a Presentation SuperStar on SlideShare!

Your presentation is currently being featured on the SlideShare homepage by our editorial team.

We thank you for this terrific presentation, that has been chosen from amongst the thousands that are uploaded to SlideShare everday.
"

I've also included (below) many links to the sites mentioned during the session:

RESEARCH
EXEMPLARS
DESIGN GUIDES
IMAGE SOURCES

And finally, here is an outstanding example of a student presentation from Julia Barrow, who worked with me on an independent study project. Using the techniques outlined above, Julia designed these slides and recorded a voice-over synced with the images. Wow!
