Changes that I made in this Power Point was changing the background and text. I had a template before but now I added a calm blue with yellow font. Added pictures with less text. Increased the text font once I got ride of unneeded writing.

Chapter 4
Response to chapter 4 reading.
I always knew that getting the audience’s attention is the first important thing when conducting a presentation, however like many, I can time to time have trouble determining how to go about it. Although I might not go in to my classroom with pink hair and a boa, I think the authors point was clear because of this. When I was younger, I was always told to lessen my make up in high school during presentations because it can distract. I never paid attention back then because I thought who really is looking at that. Now that I am older and after reading this chapter, how a presenter presents them self really does matter and can distract or bring attention. When reading on finding a hook for audiences, I was little confused with the Velcro part. I didn’t understand why the author was talking about Velcro until I realized that it was meant to show that we have to get the audience hooked to what we are going to present. I think with the help of this chapter, and the prioritizing grid, I can prepare better presentations for my students to meet higher level learning by keeping them interested in what is being presented and learned.

Chapter 1
Review of chapter 1 from assigned reading.
At first, I never thought so much went into making a good Power Point. I never thought that there was certain things to follow such as thinking about the color to put for the background, the color of font to attract people, font size, and appropriate pictures. After reading chapter 1 of our reading however, all these things to consider when making a PowerPoint make sense. I think this chapter really helped me with a huge problem that I always had with PP which is font and background color. I was the type to stick to templates because I did not want to put a background color that was to "loud" and distracting. This book not only helped me determine which colors are good for background and font, I liked their easy to read chart on this, but they also helped me realize that I can't squeeze all that I want to say on a slide.

Copyright 6340.63
During my classes with Sam Houston State University for Library Science, I had often been assigned to read various articles on copyright, it's laws, and it's place in schools. However, when I saw that in the MTT class we would be disusing this issue as well, I was able to see that this was a very important topic that I might have underestimated. When reading up on copyright, I was reminded on fairuse and remembered how tricky it can be. There are many restrictions on items people can freely find on the internet. People would be surprised to know that many times they are not following the terms under fair use and could be subjecting them self to be breaking copyright laws. I know that I myself have to be careful with images and items I would like to use that I find online, but I know that with farther reading and discussing in copyright issues and laws, I can not only get the hang of it, but teach it to other around me as well.
