Many Uses, One Program
*** When getting students to create a PPT, have them draft/plan beforehand on paper (storyboard). This keeps them focused and makes time on the computer more productive. They don't need to write the text, but plan titles and links and content.***

Language Arts

Create a story map
Graphic Organizers that work well in PowerPoint- these can be a way for students to show their understanding of the story or book. They are traditional activities, but may be more engaging for students when they can add a little extra flare, such as having the problem appear on the page first, then use an interesting effect to bring in the solution.
Create a class Big Book

Use a story that follows a template, and each student can contribute a page
-
Students may use clip art to illustrate the page, or use a drawing program to illustrate

Examples
