Weather & Seasons

Objective: Students will be able to tell what the different seasons are and what weather fits into each season.

Educational Technology Standard 5: Use technology tools (e.g., multimedia authoring, presentation, web tools, digital cameras, scanners) for individual and collaborative writing, communication, and publishing activities to create knowledge products for audiences inside and outside the classroom.

• This tool was fun to learn how to use because it is a lot like a power point but it has some different features and designs to it. I can see me using this tool as time goes on but not all the time or it will get boring and the kids will loose interest in what I am trying to teach them. 
• I think the students would like to use this as a part of their learning but it would need to be for small amounts of time. There is only so long that a child can sit still and look at a slide show and pay attention. It will be best used in fun ways to capture and keep their attention for a little bit. 
• I am using this power point to introduce the topic of weather and the seasons. It could also be modified to be a quiz or a review over the topic. It is a good way to get the kids into the topic and have some interaction as they start into any new topic that they have heard before but haven't gone deep into. I think it is a nice way to get kids into the technology that is around them and it is a pretty simple tool that they could learn how to use it.
