Today I researched Slide Shows to help the 6th graders learn about the design cycle.
There are alot of tools for the slideshow and have chosen slide share and slide bloom.
i'm sure it'll help me teach 6th graders what a design cycle is and explain to them how it works.
I can add audio, type out words, make it colorful, and make it the way i want it.
I can play it like a movie but it'll really be a slide show.
