Animating the classroom

I have been working with PowerPoint for a long time and I am familiar with how to animate slides, but I had never really considered all of the educational purposes. I liked learning in more detail about how to animate various parts of slides and consider the uses of animation in the classroom.

Working with Inspiration was a new experience for me. I have always heard about it, and wanted to learn more about it, so I was excited to learn how to use it. I have also come across some lesson plans that suggest using Kidspiration, so I am looking forward to learning more about that software, and hopefully being able to use it in my classroom in the future.

Overall, I think using animation is a lot easier than I had originally anticipated, and I can see how it would have very practical uses in the classroom, and in professional development.

  1. I'm hooked on Webspiration! I'm so visual, if only I could have used Kidspiration as a kid. I'm excited about how you will use it in the future.
