Powtoon

   Dr. Smirnova created a powerpoint presentation on google docs where the whole class had to go on and select a slide to put their name on and make their own. Many of them had different pictures as backgrounds, but I chose a blank one and created my own background. I added a picture of flowers, wrote my name in a different font, and wrote a little paragraph about me.
   We also had to complete an "about me" project that we selected from a list of 20 different options on the first day of class. I chose to use Powtoon for my project because I have seen other people create presentations on it during my previous classes and I thought it seemed interesting. I created a couple of slides that contained some important information that I thought was necessary to know about me. I enjoyed making the presentation and I really like the way it came out. I think it's a good tool to utilize during class for students to create projects or possibly to present new information to them in an interesting way. It's also good for shy students who have to give a presentation because they don't necessarily have to talk; the video could just play.
