Non-linear Powerpoints

The concept of non-linear powerpoints is something I can really see as an easy and useful resource in all classrooms. High School students can use this for presentations, and can jump around from page to page. It is a great solution for group projects because everyone can really have their own section and ownership of the powerpoint, but still only one project can be handed in. As far as my Special Ed students go, making games using non-linear powerpoint is an excellent resource. It teaches children facts as well as computer skills and it can be used individually or as a group. It can include pictures for visual learners and you can even have the computer read the text aloud for audio learners. I really support this type of powerpoint because of its simplicity and range. It has so many different uses and can be used by so many different types of students and teachers.




It was a really interesting experience creating one of these. I love the idea of making a game for students to play, but it definitely gets confusing figuring out what links to what on the slides. Overall it seems like such a better option for lessons because I would be able to jump all over my presentation.
