Cyber Pop Blog

While searching for new and interesting blogs to follow, I came across a blog called Cyber Pop Blog!  There is many useful posts for teachers, and for implementing technology in the classroom.  The entry I found interesting is called "Say No to PowerPoint".  This entry talked about different ways to present information.  Some of the tools she talked about I have never heard of before.  She doesn't "bash" PowerPoint in anyway, but it is interesting to have other options for delivery of information.  In my own classroom, my students actually prefer Prezi over PowerPoint.  She references the slideshow "You Suck at PowerPoint" which is a presentation that shows the 5 major mistakes in PowerPoint designing and making.  This could be fun to show students before a presentation.

  1. Great blog to share! Thank you! I used to rely on PowerPoints for everything. I've certainly moved away from doing that, but the PowerPoint still does the job great in many cases. I like the slideshow "You Suck at PowerPoint." It really puts things into perspective. I can see how this Cyber Pop Blog has other options to offer as well to get a teacher's (and student presenter's) mind thinking as well!
