For this PD tutorial our group used Adobe Presenter to present our findings on WatchKnowLearn. We used this program because it incorporates PowerPoint with a presentation component. Users are able to fast forward and rewind the presentation to go at their own speed. If animation is present, the program allows the narrator to record sections for each animation. This way users do not have to press a sounds button for the presentation, but instead it is all encompassing. It is a fairly easy program to create and watch.
Through this process I learned about several technological programs. I did not know what a storyboard was or how to use it. Popplet it an awesome site to use for this purpose. I can see it as something that my students could easily manipulate and use for projects. I also loved using Google docs for our script writing. I think this is another program that I do not utilize as much as I could with my students. It is was very hard to keep this project to the 10 minute guideline. There is always so much that you can share about things you are researching and programs you are utilizing. WatchKnowLearn is one of those programs that is full of useful tools that could take hours to present.
Overall, this presentation went well. I enjoyed working with my group members. Heidi did a great job of keeping us on task, while Sam was the driving force behind the design of the presentation. I added my own zing with the new technology of Adobe Presenter. If I had to do something differently in this process I would make the script shorter. It was so hard to cram all of the information into the presentation. Otherwise, I am pleased with the final product and my group members. They were amazing and really worked to build each other up. They were a true model of a PLC.
