Ignite is a great way to show a presentation without someone speaking during it. Therefore, creating this PowerPoint presentation was more difficult that I had expected. I was nervous that I didn't have enough information, but at the same time nervous that I had too much.

Growing up, we were always taught to put as little as possible into our PowerPoint slides. Then again, I was always giving a presentation while the slides were up. It is great to learn new ways to do things.

To upload my PowerPoint to the internet I used SlideShare. I created my PowerPoint on a lesson I would teach in the gymnasium on the first couple days of school. Also, I have been asked to be our Wellness Coordinator at school, so this would also be a great, short presentation for the faculty and parents to see.

This activity would be a great one for students to do. As with the regular PowerPoint presentation, this would be a great assessment for the students. In the field of Physical Education, students are missing class for various reasons and it is hard to come up with ideas for them to make it up without taking class time away. The best part also about this activity is students in grades 4th and 5th can do this. Now it may not be as advanced, but they are still capable of completing this assignment. This assignment will also eliminate them bringing in an external drive. They will be able to post it to the web and give us the web address to view it! AWESOME!!

I think that this activity is similar to the PowerPoint, so the same standards apply. By having the students do this, it will relate to the ISTE NETS T standards. Standard #1 applies because the students will have the opportunity to be creative while completing a class assignment. Also relates to standard #2 because we are giving the students an opportunity for a different type of assessment. Standard #3 also relates because students will be communicating their thoughts via PowerPoint.

This is a harder activity but still enjoyable!
