Linear vs. Non-linear

My first reaction when I saw that we had both a linear and a non-linear PowerPoint due was... what's the point? It's the same technology and the idea is the same. Now that I've done both, I really see that they are two totally different projects and how each one can be useful for our classroom in the future. I really enjoyed the non-linear PowerPoint much more than I ever thought. While I will probably use the more traditional linear PowerPoint for lectures and class discussion, I can clearly see myself using the non-linear version when I want my students to be more hands on. They are both a nice skill to have for any classroom teacher.

PowerPoints

Hi class,
I was impressed with everyone's PowerPoints. I thought some of them were extremely creative. The use of humor was especially appealing. There are a lot of lucky students out there that will be encountering that creativity for many years to come. I certainly learned a lot about a variety of subjects and picked up some new ideas on how to structure my own PowerPoints from now on. I look forward to seeing more of your work and learning from all of you.
