The following PPP is on my curricular theme of tessellations. I have made this presentation so that it automatically advances through the slides and has an eight second delay between slides. In a classroom situation I would adjust to advance on click when appropriate. I have chosen a template that did not interfere with my message. Tessellations can be very busy (as seen by this sample), thus a simple background. Although I do utilize the templates provided by Microsoft, I tend to change the title, subtitle and text boxes often. A new feature I used in this PPP was movement. I learned this from a student and have not yet included this feature in a presentation. It worked very well in the creation of a tessellation! It was time consuming, but worth the results. Another point that I want to make is that although music is wonderful, my LCD does not have speakers. Eventually I will pick up a pair. So, for now I used music in my presentation for your enjoyment. I do play music during some seatwork, mostly ’70’s and country, just to stir the kids up! I have also sent in copyright permission to The M.C. Escher Company B.V. for use of the Escher samples. If this does not come through, I will delete the images from my PPP. I am not sure if the Copyright and Fair Use in the Classroom (Leu, D. J., Leu, D. D., & Coiro, J., 2004). pertains to this sort of image.In accordance with the readings and video this week, I was careful in the preparation of my slides. As stated in a previous discussion, less is better. This presentation is an enhancement to the lesson. The teacher will be adding comments and notes as needed.
