Ned’s Keeper

Today I am at the Region IV Conference enjoying a day with Justin Karkow, Ann Jablonski, Kristine Rebstock and other great Technology Educators from the Houston Area. I did a presentation called “Kinders can do Powerpoints too!” with Kristine and I wanted to post our presentation and resources here. This includes finished powerpoints that you can use in your classroom.

What a fun day to do my first preso ever. I had three people tell me that it was the best presentation of the day and they felt like that alone made it worth their money. The coolest part was I had quite a few friends that came and watched and helped and supported me throughout the presentation. What a good feeling. Thanks everyone for making my first big presentation so much fun. I look forward to going to TCEA in February now. I am doing the same topic, so it should be easy to prepare for as well. We will most likely add lesson plans to the CD we gave out as well as a few more projects that we come up with. I also volunteered to speak for an additional pre-conference day at TCEA as well today, although I’m not sure what I will do for that, I will have to think about it. If you have any fun ideas, send me a shout out. I’d love to hear some fun ideas.
