4. This was a very delightful and fun exercise. I didn’t really learn too many new skills from this assignment because I have been doing non-linear powerpoints for year. This assignment wasn’t hard per say, but it was in fact very tedious. Making sure that ever hyperlink was connected to the correct slides was very time consuming. Also, I put a lot of work into this assignment. Searching for the right images and photos to put into my non-linear presentation was a very tedious job as well. My favorite part of this assignment though was finishing the presentation and watching it all come together. I love the hyperlinking, although tedious. As a teacher I would definitely use non-linear powerpoint presentations in my class because they are an excellent reviewing tool. This motivates students and makes them want to participate because they feel that they are somewhat playing a video game. It is also appealing to the eye. I would make a very detailed Jeopardy game for my students to use as a review tool. Go back
