Internet Archive has a “wayback machine” that enables you to see what different internet sites used to look like. Very cool but it’s partially blocked here at school. You can see it from home however.

Another site is the iSafe site. Designed for parents, educators, law enforcement and anyone else that is interested in keeping kids safe while using the internet. Check it out.

One more thing. I’m trying to use this blog to create separate areas for Teachers and my classes. So far, I’m not smart enough to figure out how to post additional comments on the Teacher and Multimedia Class pages above. So for now, everything gets posted here. Enjoy.

PowerPoint is a very powerful (no pun intended!) piece of software, a tool to help you in a presentation. But…if you create a bad PowerPoint, it can be very bad indeed.

First off, let’s do a search for “Bad PowerPoint” on Google. You’ll find lots of useful information there.

Next, as a class we’ll see a video from a comedian who mocks PowerPoint presentations. Download Video: Posted by jmcmahon at TeacherTube.com.
