Power Point slideshows - Pre blogging:
I suppose the reason I enjoyed making the slideshows so much over the years was because it was a way of showing what was happening in the classroom. It was the time before blogging and the photo/caption slideshows were an excellent way to share learning with an audience.
Power Point has changed since then! The slide shows were simple and basic but served the purpose well. Now it’s so much easier to share what’s happening in your classroom on a class blog. Even links to or embedding photo slideshows is a breeze – instant sharing with an audience!

An integrated English programme:
We made many slideshows together. Mostly they formed part of my English programme and were an excellent way to view and present. We often used a sequence of photos and captions to practise procedural writing.
Our slideshows covered a range of topics depending on our "Fertile Question" or inquiry research topic which was integrated into all curriculum areas as muchas possible.
Inquiry Learning:
This was also the time when our school began inquiry learning and experimented with different thinking tools. Some of the slideshows reflect the way I tried to integrate inquiry learning into my classroom programmes.Examples of our slideshows using various graphic organisers.
