The main difference being I just write a bunch of facts on the board and the students have to write questions that they think each fact answers. e.g.<br /><br />7 Years - How long have you been married? How long have you lived in Italy? HOw old is your daughter? etc.<br /><br />I like the idea of the POwerpoint one, but I wonder oif teh slides don't "give away" too much info about me, meaning that the students dohn't have a motivation to write the questions?<br /><br />I did think that I could just get 5 - 10 slides repeating themselves over and over and ask the students ot write questions about that.. not sure it'd work as well though.. hmm.... thinking aloud :)Seth DIckenshttp://www.digitalang.com/blognoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8572501698854836939.post-79289682487356432072009-10-26T22:24:25.084+01:002009-10-26T22:24:25.084+01:00Hi Karenne

I've hesitated to do much more than Powerpoint (or Keynote) because I find the whole setup of people sitting and looking at something I have (or someone else has) prepared fine for presentation, but not for learning. It's just not interactive and flexible enough, and I find other media (e.g. videos plus hands-on materials) go over better and are more productive in learning. But maybe I'm really missing something.<br /><br />I'd really like a course for tech slowpokes in digital storytelling. Karrenne, don't you want to offer a full day course of some kind on it? I'd come. I actually suspect you've already done one - right?Anne Hodgsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14225113474074315864noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8572501698854836939.post-49651349588768967782009-10-24T02:56:26.092+02:002009-10-24T02:56:26.092+02:00I have done something similar before but I have ne...I have done something similar before but I have never used Photopeach before.
