Teacher’s Secrets Series

Direct your students to the Power to Learn Teacher’s Secret Series. There, they will learn not only how to make their assignments target the content you expect but also how to create reports and projects that have all the elements you are looking for. We all know that students can get carried away with the pizzazz of technology and forget the essentials of an assignment. This series, which so far includes PowerPoint presentations and podcasts, should help students to avoid the pitfalls of including animations, video, fancy colorful type, and graphics that do not enhance the target content. The series is in the Computers and Homework section of Power to Learn, so while you are there you might want to browse through the list of articles to see which others might be of use to you and your students.
